  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CORRELATING ALARMS IN A NETWORK
    Publication number: 20170155539
    Abstract: Networking equipment often generates alarms that operators must sift through to troubleshoot the network. The heterogeneous nature of the equipment and their associated alarms renders this task difficult. Furthermore, a network fault may trigger collateral alarms in adjacent equipment, sometimes obscuring the root cause of the fault. The present disclosure includes a system for correlating multiple successive alarms to discriminate between alarms from a faulty network object and alarms from a properly functioning network object that is dependent on the faulty network object.
    Type: Application
