METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING NOTIFICATION OF NETWORK ALARMS USING A PLURALITY OF DISTRIBUTED LAYERS
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- one or more computing devices receiving a message that indicates an event occurred at a primary entity in a network;
the one or more computing devices determining that one or more entities related to the primary entity are impacted by the event;
in a notification layer that is hosted in a first process, the one or more computing devices creating one or more first alarms that indicate the one or more entities are impacted by the event;
in a heuristics layer that is hosted in a second process different than the first process, the one or more computing devices receiving two or more first alarms created at the notification layer and creating, based on rules for determining that alarms resulting from events are related, one or more annotated alarms comprising an indication that at least one of the two or more first alarms is related to at least one other of the two or more first alarms.

Abstract
A method is disclosed for providing notification of network alarms using a plurality of distributed layers. A message is received that indicates an event occurred at a primary entity. The event is bound to a managed object, which represents the primary entity, to create a bound event. An overall condition is determined for the primary entity, based at least in part on the bound event, to create one or more condition notifications. The impact of a particular condition notification on one or more entities, which are related to the primary entity, is analyzed to create one or more impact notifications. One or more first alarms, which indicate the one or more related entities are impacted by a particular impact notification, are created. One or more second alarms are created based on the one or more first alarms.

8. One or more computer-readable media comprising one or more stored sequences of instructions which when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform:
-
receiving a message that indicates an event occurred at a primary entity in a network; determining that one or more entities related to the primary entity are impacted by the event; in a notification layer that is hosted in a first process, creating one or more first alarms that indicate the one or more entities are impacted by the event; in a heuristics layer that is hosted in a second process different than the first process, receiving two or more first alarms created at the notification layer and creating, based on rules for determining that alarms resulting from events are related, one or more annotated alarms comprising an indication that at least one of the two or more first alarms is related to at least one other of the two or more first alarms. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An apparatus comprising:
-
one or more computing devices configured to receive a message that indicates an event occurred at a primary entity in a network; and
determine that one or more entities related to the primary entity are impacted by the event;the one or more computing devices configured with a notification layer hosted in a first process and a heuristics layer hosted in a second process different than the first process; the notification layer configured to create one or more first alarms that indicate the one or more entities are impacted by the event; the heuristics layer configured to receive two or more first alarms created at the notification layer and create, based on rules for determining that alarms resulting from events are related, one or more annotated alarms comprising an indication that at least one of the two or more first alarms is related to at least one other of the two or more first alarms. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
