Abstract

A network management system comprising a data acquisition module itself comprising a measurement module for collecting data coming from probes placed on items of network equipment in a network, and for forwarding the data to a supervisor module, the data being collected as a function of measurement parameters associated with said probes, wherein said data acquisition module further comprises a measurement adaptation module having means for adding or removing said probes and for modifying the associated measurement parameters as a function of the collected data.

Claims

1. / A network management system comprising a data acquisition module itself comprising a measurement module for collecting data coming from probes placed on items of network equipment in a network, and for forwarding the data to a supervisor module, the data being collected as a function of measurement parameters associated with said probes, wherein said data acquisition module further comprises a measurement adaptation module having means for adding or removing said probes and for modifying the associated measurement parameters as a function of the collected data.

2. / A network management system according to claim 1 in which said measurement parameters are the measurement period.

3. / A service management system comprising a network management system according to claim 1.
