Methods, systems, and computer program products for generating network outage reports
First Claim
1. A method for generating network outage reports, the method comprising:
- receiving alarm data for a network outage which, if not remedied, may become a reportable event, wherein the alarm data includes a plurality of alarm records each including a site identifier, a date, a time, and an outage event description;
processing the alarm records to determine outage information comprising at least one of a current outage duration or a current quantity of lines affected by the outage, wherein a reportable event threshold defines at least one of a minimum reportable outage duration or a minimum reportable quantity of lines affected by the outage; and
if the current outage duration is greater than the minimum reportable outage duration, or if the current quantity of lines affected by the outage is greater than the minimum reportable quantity of lines affected by the outage, or both, then generating a network outage report which associates the network outage with a first graphical indicia.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for generating network outage reports. The methods include receiving alarm data for a network outage which, if not remedied, may become a reportable event. The alarm data includes a plurality of alarm records each including a site identifier, a date, a time, and an outage event description. The alarm records are processed to determine outage information comprising at least one of a current outage duration or a current quantity of lines affected by the outage. A reportable event threshold defines at least one of a minimum reportable outage duration or a minimum reportable quantity of lines affected by the outage. If the current outage duration is greater than the minimum reportable outage duration, or if the current quantity of lines affected by the outage is greater than the minimum reportable quantity of lines affected by the outage, or both, then a network outage report is generated which associates the network outage with a graphical indicia.

15. A system for generating network outage reports, the system comprising:
-
an output mechanism and a processor in communication with the output mechanism; the processor including instructions for receiving alarm data from a plurality of sources for a network outage which, if not corrected, may become a reportable event, wherein the alarm data includes a plurality of alarm records each including a site identifier, a date, a time, and an outage event description; the processor also including instructions for processing the alarm records to determine network outage information comprising at least one of a current network outage duration or a current quantity of lines affected by the network outage, wherein a reportable event threshold defines at least one of a minimum reportable outage duration or a minimum reportable quantity of lines affected by the network outage; and
if the current outage duration is greater than the minimum reportable outage duration, or if the current quantity of lines affected by the outage is greater than the minimum reportable quantity of lines affected by the outage, or both, then generating a network outage report which associates the network outage with a first graphical indicia. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
