A computer system includes a gateway which provides integration between a network
management platform and a system management platform. Such a gateway facilitates
sharing of network management and system management events and alarms, as well
as sharing of network management and system management display views. From the
shared events and alarms, each platform may correlate such shared events and alarms
with other data available to the platform. Thus, each platform has the advantage
of using its own data in combination with data from the other platform to more
effectively perform its functionality.
