1. An information analysis apparatus comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory computer medium having computer program instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions are executable by the processor and perform to:
input information indicating a first apparatus that is a fault occurrence location in a communication network and a factor of the fault;
store a restoration handling method rule where the first apparatus that is the fault occurrence location, the factor of the fault, and an appropriate restoration handling method for the fault are associated; and
analyze an appropriate restoration handling method for the first apparatus and the factor indicated by the information that is input, based on information related to a past fault for the first apparatus that is the fault occurrence location, or a condition inherent in the first apparatus that is the fault occurrence location, from the restoration handling method rule;, wherein:
the information related to the past fault includes a number of past natural recoveries at a time of occurrence of the past fault,
the restoration handling method rule is a first restoration handling method rule where the first apparatus that is the fault occurrence location, the factor of the fault, a condition related to the number of the past natural recoveries, and the appropriate restoration handling method for the fault are associated,
the instructions further perform to analyze the appropriate restoration handling method for the first apparatus and the factor from the first restoration handling method rule based on a magnitude of the number of the past natural recoveries,
when the appropriate restoration handling method is performed, the performance is recognized by an operation that is fed back to be included as input information, and
the appropriate restoration handling method includes a package replacement, an apparatus replacement or a combination thereof.
