Abstract
A method for reporting operational information in a network is described herein. The network may include a network device and a network management server. The network device may detect an event triggering reporting of a modification to a configuration of the network device. A report message initiated by the network device may be provided. The report message may identify the modification to the configuration. The modification to the configuration may be committed after providing the report message. In another embodiment, the network device detects an event indicating a performance condition in the network device. A report message initiated by the network device is generated. The report message may include a state of the network device at the time of the event.
