Abstract
A technique for reporting and processing alarm conditions in a communication network is disclosed. In one variant, a network element is presented that comprises a memory and at least one processor coupled to the memory, wherein the memory stores program code that configures the at least one processor to detect, as a first event, at least one alarm condition and to start, in response to detecting the first event, an alarm clearance timer. The program code further configures the at least one processor to detect, as a second event, at least one of expiry of the alarm clearance timer and clearance of the at least one alarm condition and to determine, after detecting the second event, a first performance indicator value of a performance indicator for a first period of time between the first event and the second event. The at least one alarm condition and the first performance indicator value (or information derived from the first performance indicator value) are then reported to a central network management component.
