Abstract
A method for managing a plurality of failures in a video and data network is provided. The method includes discovering a failure in the video and data network. The discovered failure is the root cause of the failure. Next, the root cause failure is correlated with the plurality of failures to determine related failures generated as a result of the root cause failure. The related failures are then suppressed. One or more user's affected by the root cause failure are determined. If the root cause failure is automatically resolvable, the root cause failure is automatically resolved.
