Method, device and system for processing alarm shielding rules

Abstract

A method, an apparatus and a system for processing an alarm screening rule are disclosed in the present invention, which serve to decrease the complexity of processing the alarm screening rule and increase the efficiency. The method comprises: a network management device obtains a first alarm screening rule preset locally and recorded using a tree structure, and obtains a second alarm screening rule preset for at least one management device and recorded using the tree structure from the at least one management device; the first alarm screening rule and the second alarm screening rule are converted respectively into a first alarm screening rule group and a second alarm screening rule group which are recorded using a linear structure; the first alarm screening rule group is compared with the second alarm screening rule group to obtain a screening rule increment. Thus, in the precondition of saving unnecessary distribution of messages and guaranteeing the correctness of setting screening rules, the complexity of comparing alarm screening rules can be decreased and the efficiency can be increased. Meanwhile, an apparatus and a system for processing the alarm screening rule are disclosed in the present invention.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a method, device and system for processing an alarm masking rule. Background technique [0002] Alarm management is one of the important functions of modern network management system (referred to as network management). Alarm management consists of two parts: alarm display and alarm setting. Alarm masking is one of the most complicated functions in the alarm setting part and has an irreplaceable role. The so-called alarm shielding means that the user sets all the alarm items of the management device through the graphical user interface, and the user can mask any alarm item so that the masked alarm item does not generate an alarm. [0003] Telecom equipment is based on the network element, refer to the attached figure 1 As shown, multiple single boards can be installed on each network element, and there are multiple ports on each single board, and each port may also contain logi...

Problems solved by technology

This method is simple to implement, but for the alarm masking item that has been set before, the masking rule of the alarm item needs to be re-issued when the alarm masking item is cleared and reset, resulting in many unnecessary messages being sent, and when the alarm masking rule is cleared It may cause the alarm to be generated, and then setting a mask for the alarm item will make the alarm disappear, which will easily confuse the user and is not conducive to the user experience

[0006] Another method is to first query the alarm masking rules set by the management device, and then compare them with the alarm masking rules set by the user, clear the alarm items that have been set on the management device but have not been set by the user this time, and block the new alarms set by the user item, for the alarm items that are unchanged before and after the user setting, the masking rules are not issued, but only the alarm masking rules that have changed before and after the setting are issued. When comparing the alarm shielding rules of management devices, two sets of multiple tree structures are compared. For each comparison, the nodes of the same level of the two tree structures need to be located first, and then the nodes of this level are compared. It is necessary to compare all the nodes of the tree structure, and the implementation is very complicated
