Abstract
Systems and methods for managing problems that are determined to be chronic problems with network devices or circuits are disclosed. The systems and methods receive data indicating a problem with a network device or circuit and determine based on the data a first action to be performed on the network device or circuit. Upon determining that a recurring problem exists for the network device or circuit, a rule set is used to determine if the data indicates a chronic problem. Upon determining that a chronic problem exists for the network device or circuit, the rule set is used to determine a monitoring period for the network device or circuit. Further, within the monitoring period a performance indicator that indicates that the network equipment or circuit is performing acceptably or unacceptably is used to determine further actions for the network device or circuit.
