Abstract

A method and system of managing fixed line network elements. Data from disparate sources is received by a processing layer of a monitoring server via a wireline communication network. The intelligence layer determines whether a first node from the disparate nodes is new or pre-existing. Based on a determination by the intelligence layer whether a node is new or pre-existing, different static rules are applied to the received data from the first node. Contextual information is retrieved from the measurements megastore related to the first node. A root cause of a malfunction of the first node is determined. A notification is generated based on the root cause of the malfunction.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A monitoring server comprising:

a processor;
a network interface coupled to the processor configured to enable communications via a wireline communication network;
a storage device for content and programming;
and
a program stored in the storage device, wherein execution of the program by the processor configures the monitoring server to perform acts comprising:
receiving data from disparate nodes via the wireline communication network;
determining whether a first node of the disparate nodes is new;
in response to determining the first node is new, determining a state of the first node by applying a first set of static rules to data from the first node;
in response to determining the first node is not new, determining the state of the first node by applying a second set of static rules to data from the first node;
in response to the state indicating a predetermined state, storing the conclusion in a measurements megastore server;
in response to the state not indicating the predetermined state:
retrieving contextual information from the measurements megastore server related to the first node;
when the first node is new, determining a status of nodes in a critical path of the first node based on the contextual information and identifying a root cause by identifying why the criteria based on the first set of static rules are not met;
when the first node is not new, applying complex rules to the data received from the first node and identifying the root cause by identifying, based on the complex rules, why the criteria based on the second set of static rules are not met;
and
sending a notification based on the root cause.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of sequences of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors cause an electronic device to:

receive data from disparate nodes via the wireline communication network;
determine whether a first node of the disparate nodes is new;
in response to determining the first node is new, determine a state of the first node by applying a first set of static rules to data from the first node;
in response to determining the first node is not new, determine the state of the first node by applying a second set of static rules to data from the first node;
in response to the state indicating a predetermined state, store the conclusion in a measurements megastore server;
in response to the state not indicating the predetermined state:
retrieve contextual information from the measurements megastore server related to the first node;
when the first node is new, determine a status of nodes in a critical path of the first node based on the contextual information and identify a root cause by identifying why the criteria based on the first set of static rules are not met;
when the first node is not new, apply complex rules to the data received from the first node and identify the root cause by identifying, based on the complex rules, why the criteria based on the second set of static rules are not met;
and
send a notification based on the root cause.
