A network management apparatus and method processes network management data received during the monitoring of a network and generates events for presentation in an event list to a user when certain event conditions are detected. Network management data received in relation to an event condition is processed to determine whether it represents a recurring event condition. A recurring event condition is determined if a predetermined number of equivalent events have been generated, and appear in the event list, in an immediately preceding time period. In the described embodiment, if a recurring event condition occurs, a recurring event is generated, and subsequent occurrences of the event condition are not included in the event list presented to the user.
A method for processing network management data in a network management system which generates events, for presentation in an event list to a user, when event conditions are detected during the monitoring of a network, the method comprising receiving network management data relating to an event condition, and determining whether a predetermined number of equivalent events have been generated in a preceding time period.
A method for processing network management data in a network management system which generates events, for presentation in an event list to a user, when event conditions are detected during the monitoring of a network, the method comprising receiving network management data relating to an event condition;
A computer program for processing network management data in a network management system which generates events, for presentation in an event list to a user, when event conditions are detected during the monitoring of a network, the program comprising a program step receiving network management data relating to an event condition for determining whether a predetermined number of equivalent events have been generated in a preceding time period.
A network management apparatus for monitoring a network and for processing network management data and generating events, for presentation in an event list to a user, when event conditions are detected, the apparatus comprising a processor for receiving network management data relating to an event condition, and for determining whether a predetermined number of equivalent events have been generated in a preceding time period
A network management apparatus for monitoring a network and for processing network management data and generating events, for presentation in an event list to a user, when event conditions are detected, the apparatus comprising a processor for receiving network management data relating to an event condition and for determining whether the monitored characteristic for the event condition is in a recurring state, and processing the data according to whether the monitored characteristic for the event condition is in a recurring state.
