The automatic generation and storage of bundled error messages indicative
of fault conditions of one or more managed networks is disclosed. The
error messages may provide more complete information relating to the
managed networks such as information indicative of a detected fault
condition as well as information describing the network on which the
condition occurred. Fewer duplicative error messages are generated and
the number of "false-positive" messages is reduced while still preserving
and providing important fault condition information to operators.
