  • Method and system for providing aggregated network alarms
    Patent number: 9413597
    Abstract: An approach for providing aggregated network alarm notifications is described. An alarm management platform aggregates one or more network alarms based on a geographic proximity, a temporal proximity, or a combination thereof. The alarm management platform identifies a network event based on the aggregating of the one or more network alarms, and then presents the network event in a user interface to represent the one or more network alarms.

  • Method and system for providing alarm reporting in a managed network services environment
    Patent number: 7525422
    Abstract: An approach for alarm reporting is provided. An alarm from a first alarm feed and an alarm from a second alarm feed are received.

  • System for automated workflow in a network management and operations system
    Patent number: 6445774
    Abstract: Methods and systems for automating the dissemination and processing of alarm reports received from a telecommunications network are provided. Alarm reports, which are provided to network monitors by a network management system, correspond to alarms that are generated by the telecommunications network. Network monitors view these alarm reports and group them together to form event reports. The network monitors then use the event reports to produce trouble reports that are processed by a trouble management system. The trouble management system dispatches field engineers to repair networks anomalies in accordance with these trouble reports. An automated workflow system provides automated alarm report dissemination and processing. The automated workflow system provides a graphical interface to view and manipulate alarm reports and to automatically create and handle event reports and trouble tickets.
