Dynamic middleware source selection for optimizing data retrieval from network nodes
First Claim
1. A method for optimizing retrieval of data from network nodes, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by a network server communicatively coupled with a network, a plurality of node data sets from a plurality of middleware sources, wherein each of the plurality of node data sets comprises node data pertaining to the same network node in the network;
determining, by the network server, a fault in node data of at least one node data set;
identifying, by the network server, the middleware source associated with the fault in the at least one node data set and identifying an element management system that provided raw node data to the middleware source;
based on the identifying, retrieving, by the network server, raw node data from the element management system associated with the network node while bypassing the middleware source associated with the fault; and
in response to retrieving the raw node data, redirecting, by the network server, an application to use at least one of the plurality of middleware sources as a primary conduit in analysis of node data sets.

Abstract
A method for optimizing retrieval of node data from network nodes is disclosed. The method comprises obtaining, by a network server via a network, a node data set comprising node data from a plurality of middleware sources, where each of the plurality of middleware sources provides node data about the same network node. The network server is determining a fault in the node data received from one of the plurality of middleware sources, and identifying the middleware source associated with the fault. In response to determining the fault and middleware source, the network server is bypassing the middleware source associated with the fault and retrieving raw node data directly from an element management system associated with the network node.

6. A method for optimizing retrieval of node data from network nodes, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by a network server communicatively coupled with a network, a node data set comprising node data from a plurality of middleware sources; determining, by the network server, a plurality of faults in the node data set; identifying, by the network server, each middleware source associated with at least one of the plurality of faults; determining, by the network server, a historical frequency of faults in node data provided by the middleware source; detecting, by the network server, that a threshold for the historical frequency of faults has been exceeded; in response to determining that the threshold for the historical frequency of faults has been exceeded, bypassing, by the network server via the network, each middleware source associated with a fault and retrieving raw node data directly from an element management system associated with a network node; and redirecting, by the network server, at least one of the plurality of middleware sources to be a primary conduit for the network server to use in analysis of node data sets. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

-
obtaining, by a network server via a network, a node data set comprising node data from a plurality of middleware sources, wherein each of the plurality of middleware sources provides node data about the same network node; determining, by the network server, a fault in the node data received from one of the plurality of middleware sources; identifying, by the network server, the middleware source that is associated with the fault; and in response to determining the fault and associated middleware source, bypassing, by the network server via the network, the middleware source associated with the fault and retrieving raw node data directly from an element management system associated with the network node. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
