Abstract

Network alarm systems generate large volumes of alarms, often resulting in redundant or irrelevant data that complicates efficient fault detection and resolution. This paper presents an enhanced approach to network alarm handling by integrating the Apriori algorithm with the Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering method. The Apriori algorithm is used to uncover frequent alarm patterns, while FCM addresses the complexity of overlapping alarm data, enabling the association of alarms with varying degrees of membership in multiple clusters. The proposed method improves the accuracy of alarm correlation, reduces false positives, and enhances the efficiency of fault localization. This method offers multiple advantages, including a reduction in false alarms, better pattern detection, and strengthened network fault diagnosis capabilities. The use of FCM clustering allows for more adaptable and precise alarm grouping, while the enhanced Apriori algorithm improves both the speed and scalability of pattern discovery. The combination of Apriori and FCM demonstrates significant potential for optimizing network alarm management and improving overall system reliability.

Keywords:  Network alarm management, Improved Apriori algorithm, FCM clustering, Alarm correlation analysis, Alarm noise reduction, Real-time alarm processing, Network performance monitoring.
