ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for receiving alarms from multiple network management servers and applying a plurality of policy-based filters to the alarms. The filters may be named and stored in a database, and application of the policy-based filters may be scheduled for different times. The same policy-based filters may be applied to one or more multiple network management applications. The invention allows greater control over which alarms get reported to network management applications and provides a means to ensure consistency of reported alarms across multiple network management applications. A telephonic alarm notification method and apparatus incorporates the policy-based filters and the capability to process alarms from multiple network segment servers so that users can be accurately notified of critical alarms generated in large and complex communications networks, via a public communications system.
