Abstract
A method for reporting operational information in a network is described herein. The network may include a network device and a network management server. The network device may detect an event triggering reporting of a modification to a configuration of the network device. A report message initiated by the network device may be provided. The report message may identify the modification to the configuration. The modification to the configuration may be committed after providing the report message. In another embodiment, the network device detects an event indicating a performance condition in the network device. A report message initiated by the network device is generated. The report message may include a state of the network device at the time of the event.
Claims18
A method for reporting operational information in a network, the network including a network device and a network management server, the method comprising:
- detecting by the network device an event triggering reporting of a modification to a configuration of the network device;
- providing a report message initiated by the network device to the network management server, the report message identifying the modification to the configuration of the network device;
- and
- committing, by the network device, the modification to the configuration of the network device after providing the report message to the network management server.
A method for reporting operational information in a network, the network including a network device and a network management server, the method comprising:
- detecting, by the network device, an event indicating a performance condition in the network device and a modification to a configuration of the network device;
- generating a report message initiated by the network device identifying the modification to the configuration of the network device and a state of the network device at the time of the event;
- providing the report message to the network management server;
- and
- committing, by the network device, the modification to the configuration of the network device after providing the report message to the network management server.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a plurality of instructions for controlling a data processor of a network device for reporting operational information in a network, the network including the network device and a network management server, the plurality of instructions comprising:
- instructions that cause the data processor to detect an event triggering reporting of a modification to a configuration of the network device;
- instructions that cause the data processor to provide a report message initiated by the network device to the network management server, the report message identifying the modification to the configuration;
- and
- instructions that cause the data processor of the network device to commit the modification to the configuration of the network device after providing the report message to the network management server.
