Abstract
A method for managing a plurality of failures in a video and data network is provided. The method includes discovering a failure in the video and data network. The failure is correlated with the plurality of failures to determine related failures. A root cause of the failure is then isolated. Next, the related failures that were generated as a result of the root cause failure are suppressed. If the root cause is automatically resolvable, the root cause is resolved.
