Abstract

A method is provided in one example and includes verifying a storage capacity of a network element coupled to an end device over a network connection. The method also includes executing script provided in the network element, which is configured for exchanging packets in a network environment. The script initiates a collection of data being retrieved from the end device. The data can be Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, and Security (FCAPS) data associated with the end device. The data collected from the end device is communicated to a next destination.
