1. A method for providing Diameter network management information in a communications network, the method comprising:

  • at a Diameter signaling router (DSR);

    determining whether successful Diameter communications are available with a first Diameter application in response to receiving a Diameter message from a first Diameter node, wherein determining whether successful Diameter communications are available with the first Diameter application includes sending a Diameter request message to the first Diameter application and determining that successful Diameter communications are not available with the first Diameter application in response to receiving a response message indicating an error or communications issue;

    in response to determining that successful Diameter communications are not available with the first Diameter application, generating a first Diameter network management message (DNMM) indicating that successful Diameter communications are not available with the first Diameter application; and

    sending the first DNMM to a second Diameter node distinct from the DSR and the first Diameter node.
