Patent ID: 10536323

Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for correlating alarms that are generated with relation to a computer network is disclosed. The alarms represent faults of the computer network and/or faults of components of the computer network. The computer-implemented method comprises: displaying, on a display device, a graphical user interface that allows a user to select a type of correlation between one or more alarms and a type of fault which causes the one or more alarms from among a plurality of types of correlation; receiving, via the graphical user interface, a user input indicating the type of correlation selected by the user; storing, in a database, at least one rule based on the selected correlation; receiving, by a server, a plurality of alarms generated with relation to the computer network; correlating, by a correlation engine, the plurality of alarms received by the server according to the at least one rule stored in the database to identify a fault which has caused the one or more alarms; and displaying, on the display device, the at least one identified fault.
