Method, operator module an response module for managing a network management system
First Claim
1. Method for managing a network management system with management elements, which can forward event information by means of forwarding discriminators, with the aid of which the management elements and/or network elements managed by them can be managed, in which an operator module for a selection of management elements detects event information communication connections existing between them with the aid of data on forwarding discriminators which operate the respective event information communication connections in the management elements and in which the operator module graphically outputs the management elements of the selection and also the event information communication connections existing between them in each case by way of a map representing an event information network on a user interface of the network management system.

Abstract
A method for managing a network management system with management elements, which can forward event information by means of forwarding discriminators, with the aid of which the management elements and/or network elements managed by them can be managed. An operator module, which detects for a selection of management elements event information communication connections existing between them, with the aid of data on forwarding discriminators which operate the respective event information communication connections in the management element, and further graphically outputs the management elements of the selection and also the event information communication connections present between them in each case by way of map representing an event information network on a user interface of the network management system, and also a response module for this.

11. Operator module for managing a network management system
with management elements which can forward event information by means of forwarding discriminators, with the aid of which the management elements and/or network elements managed by them can be managed, with analyzers for detecting event information communication connections between a selection of management elements with the aid of data on forwarding discriminators which operate the respective event information communication connections in the management elements and with output means for the graphic output of the management elements of the selection and also the event information communication connections present between them by way of a map representing an event information network on a user interface of the network management system.

13. Response module for a management element of a network management system,
wherein the management element can forward event information by means of at least one forwarding discriminator, with the aid of which the management element and/or at least one network element managed by it can be managed, characterized by response means, configured to cooperate with an operator module and to send data on the at least one forwarding discriminator which operates at least one event information communication connection in the management element, to the operator module.

18. Computer readable memory means, in particular diskette or CD-Rom, Digital Versatile Disc, hard-disk drive or similar, with an operator module stored on it for managing a network management system with management elements which can forward event information by means of forwarding discriminators, with the aid of which the management elements and/or network elements managed by them can be managed, wherein the operator module contains a program code which can be executed by a control means of a computer, in particular a client computer or a server computer, of the network management system, wherein the computer performs the following functions:
-
detecting event information communication connections between a selection of management elements with the aid of data on forwarding discriminators which operate the respective event information communication connections in the management elements and graphic output of the management elements of the selection and also the event information communication connections present between them by way of a map representing an event information network on a user interface of the network management system.
