There is provided a system and method for storing alarm information generated
from a network, and for transmitting the alarm information to a plurality of alarm
managers. An alarm management process in an alarm management host computer creates
an uncleared alarm table for storing alarm information that was generated from
the network and is not cleared yet, and a cleared alarm table for storing cleared
alarm information. The alarm managers connected to the alarm management host computer
create their respective listener tables. When an alarm is generated from the network,
the alarm information is stored in the uncleared alarm table, and when the alarm
is released, the alarm information is cleared from the uncleared alarm table and
moved to the cleared alarm table. The alarm information is also stored in the listener
tables. The alarm managers read the alarm information from their listener tables
and display it. Therefore, load produced during searching for alarm information
is distributed, increasing the speed and efficiency of the alarm information search.
