Abstract
A network management apparatus and method for determining an optimum threshold value for a monitored characteristic of a network is described. The optimum threshold value is determined by counting a number of previously received events generated from values for a monitored characteristic which were above or below an existing threshold value for the monitored characteristic, and determining the optimum threshold value in dependence on the counted number. An optimum threshold value is provided, which is tailored to suit the network concerned.
