Abstract
A system and method of tracking an error condition detectable in a communication network is provided. The method includes generating first derived communication attributes from collected statistics from the communication network in a first time interval and retaining the first derived communication attributes. The method further includes generating second derived communication attributes from collected statistics from the communication network in a second time interval, comparing values for the first and the second derived communication attributes to generate a comparison result and utilizing the comparison result as a factor in determining a status of the error condition.
Claims13
A method of tracking an error condition detectable in a communication network, said method comprising:
- generating first derived communication attributes from collected statistics from said communication network in a first time interval;
- retaining said first derived communication attributes;
- generating second derived communication attributes from collected statistics from said communication network in a second time interval;
- comparing values for said first and said second derived communication attributes to generate a comparison result;
- and
- utilizing said comparison result as a factor in determining a status of said error condition.
An error monitor for tracking an error condition detectable in a communication network, said error monitor comprising:
- a generation unit generating first derived communication attributes from collected statistics from said communication network in a first time interval and second derived communication attributes from collected statistics from said communication network in a second time interval;
- a storage device for storing said first derived communication attributes;
- a comparison module comparing values for said first and said second derived communication attributes to generate a comparison result;
- wherein said comparison result utilized as a factor in determining a status of said error condition.
A method of tracking an error condition detectable in a communication network, said method comprising:
- transmitting at least one statistic collected from said communication network in a time interval to an aggregation unit for inclusion in an aggregated statistics file for said time interval;
- and
- determining existence of said aggregated statistics file for said time interval;
- wherein said existence of said aggregated statistics file for said time interval is utilized as a factor in determining a status of said error condition.
