| 20100162205 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY GENERATING CAPABILITY STATEMENTS FOR MANAGEMENT INTERFACES - Various embodiments provide an apparatus and method for automatically generating capability statements for management interfaces. An example embodiment includes obtaining an external interface definition defining an external interface; obtaining an internal interface definition defining an internal interface; obtaining a mapping between elements of the external interface and the corresponding elements of the internal interface; obtaining an internal interface compliance statement including compliance information related to the internal interface; and automatically generating an external interface capability statement based on the external interface definition, the internal interface definition, the mapping, and the internal interface compliance statement. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20110055637 | ADAPTIVELY COLLECTING NETWORK EVENT FORENSIC DATA - In an embodiment, a data processing system comprises a repository configured to store a plurality of event message definitions for error messages, syslog messages, or other notification messages that may be emitted by one or more managed network elements; event annotation logic coupled to the data repository and configured to receive and store one or more annotations to each of the event message definitions, wherein each of the annotations specifies event context information to be collected in the managed network elements when an associated event message occurs; event forensics definitions generator logic coupled to the event annotation logic and configured to generate an event forensics definitions file capable of interpretation by one or more managed network elements and comprising event type identifiers and context information identifiers for context information to be collected, and configured to cause distributing the event forensics definitions file to the one or more managed network elements. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110060829 | METHOD AND APPARATUS PROVIDING DEVICE-INITIATED NETWORK MANAGEMENT - A method is disclosed for managing a network entity that is initiated by the network entity, the method comprising the computer-implemented steps performed at the network entity of monitoring the network entity; periodically evaluating one or more specified conditions at the managed network entity; when one or more of the specified conditions are satisfied, then gathering specified information from the managed network entity, preparing a message that includes the specified information and the specified conditions that were satisfied, and sending the message to a management point. | 03-10-2011 |

| 20080239955 | ADAPTIVE CROSS-NETWORK MESSAGE BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION BY MESSAGE SERVERS - In one embodiment, a network device is described as including a rate monitor to monitor an actual individual message rate of event messages sent from each one of a plurality of sending devices operatively in communication with the network device, an allocator to allocate an individual message rate limit to each of the plurality of sending devices, and a communication module to communicate a rate limit instruction to at least one of the sending devices, the rate limit instruction to limit the transmission rate of event messages. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080301506 | SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS WITH DYNAMIC CONTEXTUAL INFORMATION OF EVENTS - A network device and a method for monitoring operational messages is described. The method comprises monitoring an occurrence of an operational message of the network device, and storing dynamic context information at the time that the operational message occurred. The stored dynamic context information is then associated with the operational message. The operational message (e.g., a syslog message) may be stored together with the dynamic context information in a metalog memory and may comprise a snapshot of a procedure stack, the procedure stack including information indicative of a sequence of procedure invocations. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090003345 | NETWORK DEVICE DYNAMIC HELP - There are provided a method, system, logic and network device to provide additional information and at least one recommended action relating to error information reported by a feature module of the network device. The method comprises generating a request that includes error information reported by a feature module of a network device, the error information including one or more runtime parameters associated with the network device. The method further comprises transmitting the generated request and receiving a response to the request including additional information and the at least one recommended action relating to the error information, the additional information and the at least one recommended action being based at least in part on the one or more runtime parameters. The network device comprises a feature module to report error information including one or more runtime parameters associated with the network device, a help module to generate a request including the error information reported by the feature module and to receive a response to the request, the response including additional information and at least one recommended action relating to the error information, the additional information and the at least one recommended action being based at least in part on the one or more runtime parameters, and a communication module to transmit the generated request and to receive the response to the request. | 01-01-2009 |
