ABSTRACT:
A method of managing performance data and accounting data that are generated in a computer network comprises collecting performance data from the network using one or more collector blades that are installed into a data collection manager at a time when the data collection manager is executed; determining whether the performance data satisfies one or more thresholding rules, and if so, generating and sending one or more performance messages; filtering the performance data using one or more filters; aggregating the performance data; and correlating the performance data with other data received from one or more network management subsystems.
