Abstract
Described is a method for provisioning status monitoring for a network element in a communications network. Multiple predefined templates are provided to a user. Each template corresponds to a particular facility type and includes multiple profiles. Each profile includes a value for each of a plurality of status types. One of the profiles is selected for an instantiation of the facility type in the network element to implement status monitoring. The status monitoring is responsive to the values in the selected profile. Each value can define a reporting state for a respective one of a plurality of alarm types. Alternatively, each profile can define a threshold value for a respective one of a plurality of performance parameters. Optionally, one or more values in a selected profile can be edited by the user.
