A method and system for tracking network events are provided. A network event tracking system includes a network event database, multiple disparate networks, and a report generator. The network event database stores network event data and network element data associated with the multiple disparate networks. A vendor corresponding to each network element supplements the network element data stored in the network event database with vendor data when the network element is operating in a specified condition. The report generator utilizes the network event database to provide snapshots of network health during specified periods based on the network events associated with the network elements. Also, the report generator provides definitions for network acronyms and contact information for network sites associated with network elements.
