An operating device and method handles event messages based on Internet
technology for operating a network management system. The operating device
receives an event message from a network element of the network management
system. Event influences are extracted from the event message and an event
profile describing the event influences is generated by the operating
device and stored in a database. The operating device further includes a
requested operating page, for which an operating page profile is
allocated. The operating page profile is compared with event profiles
stored in the database, wherein the operating device determines from the
comparison event influences and event profiles relevant to the operating
page profile, modifies the operating page profile based on the event
influences determined, and generates the requested operating page based on
the modified operating page profile.
