System and method of providing performance information for a communications network
First Claim
1. A method of displaying alert information in a network, comprising:
- storing performance information for network objects at predetermined time intervals;
displaying a summary view including a plurality of cells, each cell representing a period of time and comprising;
a bounded display region to display an alert status indication for the network objects at the represented period of time, the cells in the plurality of cells ordered according to each cell'"'"'s represented period of time;
displaying a topographical map including a plurality of regions for displaying respective network object types associated with one or more alerts, the map corresponding to a particular cell in the summary view;
displaying a graph of performance data for one or more of the network objects; and
displaying statistical band information for the performance data.

Abstract
A method and apparatus displays time-based alert information for network objects in a summary view. In another embodiment, a method and apparatus displays time-based alert information in a topographical map display. In a further embodiment, a method and apparatus displays time-based alert information in a graphical display for one or more network objects. In another embodiment, a method and apparatus displays time-based alert information in a graphical display for one or more network objects along with statistical bands. In a further embodiment, a method and apparatus displays time-based alert information in a graphical display with thresholds set with historical data.
