METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISPLAYING INFORMATION IN A FAULT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.

摘要

A system and method for monitoring alarm information in a fault management system of a network and for minimizing the amount of alarm information displayed in a graphical display system. An alarm message indicating an alarm condition for a specific element in the network is received (100) by the graphical display system. Information about the specific element is extracted (102) from the alarm message, and a graphical object for the specific element is created (106) based on the extracted information. The graphical object is then displayed on a network operator interface. Once the alarm condition is cleared (110), the graphical object is removed (120) from the graphical display system.
