Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a system comprising an alarm management module (AMM) that receives an alarm raised by an application running on a network function virtualization unit (NFVU) infrastructure, said NFVU infrastructure comprising a virtualization layer; and facilitates enrichment of the received alarm with NFVU infrastructure specific information based on a physical-and-virtual inventory associated with the NFVU infrastructure, said NFVU infrastructure specific information pertaining to hardware and virtual resources of the NFVU infrastructure that are involved in running said application. The AMM can further receive an infrastructure alarm pertaining to a hardware resource that forms part of the NFVU infrastructure, said infrastructure alarm being associated with a failure of or a potential functional error of the hardware resource; and facilitate enrichment of the received infrastructure alarm information with application information, said application information pertaining to at least one application that is impacted by the hardware resource.
