Critical Event Manager Module for IP Networks Using Software Agents

In the management of IP networks, the collection and classification of notifications is a critical task. In addition to unexpected events, such as hardware and software failures, the collected notifications are important to make the proper diagnosis of the failure that occurred and based on that, propose and apply efficient solutions to the problems presented. This work develops a critical event manager using the “Ingenias” methodology for the analysis and design of the prototype. The developed software agent has the characteristic of being proactive, for which it permanently listens to notifications from a network of IP routers and interacting with it to mitigate problems and propose solutions to network failures.
