This application provides a
data deduplication method, apparatus, electronic device, and
machine-readable storage medium. The method includes: determining a target event for which a deduplication strategy is configured based on a detected
event selection instruction; determining a target deduplication strategy for the target
event based on a detected candidate deduplication
strategy selection instruction; and performing deduplication
processing on the received alarm data of the target event according to the target deduplication strategy. This method can flexibly configure deduplication strategies for different specific events, optimize the deduplication effect of alarm data, and effectively reduce the
processing of duplicate alarm data.
