Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for calculating an indicator of a network management system comprising at least one submanager that monitors a part of the network. The submanager comprises a plurality of modules that allow communication with the equipment units of the network and with a main manager., At least one equation defining an indicator and evaluated by an indicator module of the submanager comprises at least one object attribute, at least one index whereof is variable. The method comprises a step for the reception by the indicator module of a notification transmitted by a model configuration module, which notification comprises an address of an equipment unit and an identification of an equation representing an indicator. The method further comprises an initialization step in which the instances of the variable indices have an initial value that does not make it possible to calculate the specified equation, and a step for determining all the valid instances of all the variable indices of all the attributes of the equation.
