Event correlation is one key technique in network fault management. For the event sample acquisition problem in event correlation, a novel approach is proposed to collect the samples by constructing network simulation platform. The platform designed can set kinds of network faults according to user’s demand and generate a lot of network fault events, which will benefit the research on efficient event correlation techniques.
