Abstract
An approach for alarm reporting is provided. An alarm from a first alarm feed and an alarm from a second alarm feed are received. A merged alarm is generated to provide a consistent view of an event corresponding to the alarm from the first alarm feed and the alarm from the second alarm feed. The merged alarm is stored for retrieval by a reporting system.
Claims17
A method for providing alarm reporting, the method comprising:
- receiving an alarm from a first alarm feed;
- receiving an alarm from a second alarm feed, wherein the first alarm feed and the second alarm feed are redundant sources;
- generating a merged alarm to provide a unified view corresponding to the alarm from the first alarm feed and the alarm from the second alarm feed;
- storing the merged alarm for retrieval by a reporting system;
- and
- generating a merge key for uniquely identifying alarms that are identical.
3 more elements
A method for providing alarm reporting, the method comprising:
- retrieving a merged alarm from a database, wherein the merged alarm is generated from an alarm from a first alarm feed and an alarm from a second alarm feed, wherein the first alarm feed and the second alarm feed are redundant sources;
- generating a merge key for uniquely identifying alarms from the first alarm feed and the second alarm feed that are identical;
- and
- generating a report based on the merged alarm.
1 more element
A system for providing fault handling, the system comprising:
- a view processor configured to receive an alarm from a first alarm feed and an alarm from a second alarm feed, the first alarm feed and the second alarm feed being redundant sources,
- wherein the view processor is further configured to generate a merged alarm to provide a unified view corresponding to the alarm from the first alarm feed and the alarm from the second alarm feed and to generate a merge key for uniquely identifying alarms that are identical,
- wherein the merged alarm is retrieved by a reporting system.
