System for the tracking of errors in a communication network enabling users to selectively bypass system error logs and make real-time responses to detected errors

Abstract

Enabling users of systems maintaining periodically sampled error logs to selectively make real-time responses to certain error conditions. An error management system which comprises an implementation for monitoring error conditions and responsive to the monitoring for recording the error conditions in an error log together with an implementation for periodically sampling said error log for said error conditions. The user is enabled to sense one or more of the error conditions prior to the periodic sampling of the condition in the error log to thereby bypass the error log sampling to provide for a possible real-time response to a sensed error condition. The implementations for monitoring, for recording, for sampling and for the real-time sensing are preferably in the server computer.
