A computer network alarm and control system for use in a network comprising a plurality of platforms susceptible to failure comprises a notification system coupled to the network of platforms for receiving an alarm signal from the platforms and outputting a notification identifying a platform indicating an alarm, a qualification of the alarm and a severity of the alarm and an expert system including an inference engine coupled to the notification system, the inference engine having an associated knowledge base for outputting an appropriate resolution to the notification system. An optional explanation facility system communicates with the inference engine of the expert system, the explanation facility system, responsive to a query, outputting an explanation for the appropriate resolution. The expert system is preferably frame-based, having frames for software, hardware and middleware faults and errors, each frame having slot names and values, the slot names including the identity of the platform (or node), symptom, severity, resolution and the like.
