Abstract

The present invention provides an improved fault management system and method. In one embodiment, the system includes a gateway and a management processor system. The gateway is communicatively connected to a network for receiving alarm incidents from the network. The gateway has a rule engine for (1) selecting a control object from a set of control objects based on information from the alarm incident, and (2) processing the selected control object. The management processor system has a processor for processing configuration to objects in response to the selected control object for implementing fault management objectives defined by at least one user.
