Abstract

Aspects of the invention may involve systems, methods, and computer readable medium. In an embodiment, a telecommunications network may contain telecommunications probes capable of generating detailed records describing network events. The telecommunications probes may be coupled to computer processors and/or memory. The memory may store detailed records created by the probes and instructions executable by the processors. The instructions may be to: identify detailed records that indicate an event failure including error codes and associated subscriber identifiers; learn a distribution of error codes and associated subscriber identifiers; detect event failures that indicate an increase in the number of subscriber identifiers for an error code; analyze attributes of the detected event failures to identify common attributes between the detected event failures; prepare a report identifying a network issue based on the identified common attributes between the detected event failures; transmit the report; and receive feedback based on the report.
