Abstract
The network fault manager described herein may generate an alarm data table having various columns and rows respectively corresponding to different alarm data fields and different alarms. The alarm data table may be associated with a primary key that includes a subset of the different data fields in the multiple columns to uniquely represent the different alarms in the multiple rows. In response to removing one or more of the different alarm data fields in the subset from the primary key, the primary key may non-uniquely represent the different alarms in a plurality of the multiple rows. Thus, the alarm data table may be collapsed to combine the different alarms non-uniquely represented in the plurality of the multiple rows into one combined row uniquely representing the different alarms, whereby the collapsed alarm data table may replace the plurality of the multiple rows with the combined row.
