Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing software-based network probes for monitoring network devices for fault management. In various embodiments, a computing system may receive, from at least one software-based network probe, a first alert associated with a first device among layer 4 devices disposed in a plurality of networks; may parse and store first alert data from the received first alert in a database, in a standardized format; may perform, using an enrichment system, enrichment of the first alert data, by retrieving first enrichment data from one or more second databases and adding the first enrichment data to the parsed and formatted first alert data in the first database to form first consolidated alert data; and may send the first consolidated alert data to a fault management system for display to a user to facilitate addressing of the first alert by the user.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing global Internet Protocol management system (“GIMS”) for monitoring network devices for fault management. In various embodiments, a computing system may receive a first alert associated with a first device among layer 2 and/or layer 3 devices disposed in a plurality of networks; may collect first alert data and/or first device data; may store the first alert together with the collected first alert data and/or first device data as first consolidated alert data in a first database; may perform, using an enrichment system, enrichment of the first alert, by retrieving first enrichment data from one or more second databases and adding the first enrichment data to the first consolidated alert data in the first database; and may send the first consolidated alert data to a fault management system for display to a user to facilitate addressing of the first alert by the user.
