Abstract
Real time status changes of network elements in a network are reported and correlated, to help in eliminating events that are not of interest and to annotate or generate events that provide more useful information to the network operator. The result of the correlation can also be used to intelligently trigger further performance data collection to more precisely determine the level of performance degradation resulting from a status change.
Claims20
A method of monitoring performance in a network, comprising:
- collecting performance data from in the network;
- generating events based on the performance data;
- correlating the events;
- and
- initiating further collection of performance data in dependence on the results of the correlation.
A system for monitoring performance in network, comprising:
- means for collecting performance data from the network;
- means for generating events based on the performance data;
- means for correlating the vents;
- and
- means for initiating further collection of performance data in dependence on the result of the correlation.
A system for monitoring performance in a network, comprising:
- a performance monitor for collecting performance data relating to network elements in the network and for generating event data based on said performance data;
- and
- an event correlator for receiving the event data from the performance monitor and for correlating the event data, wherein
- the event correlator is arranged to instruct the performance monitor to initate further collection of further performance data in dependence on the result of the correlation.
