Support tasking collection process and batch and single node mode to configure collection task.

Support performance data analysis and count and provide graphical performance monitoring mode for users.

Support to monitor real-time performance. User can use different real-time data collection interval (The shortest interval is 10s) to collect real-time performance data and support to view real-time performance graph and performance data.

Support to browse historical performance. Through collection task deployment, user can collect performance data periodically and continuously and store to database. Moreover, user can view multiple time dimensions (original data, hour, day, week, month and year) historical performance graph and performance data through NView NNM client.

Support the alarm based on performance threshold. When performance data exceeds threshold, it will generate performance alarm and report to NView NNM system so as the operation and maintenance staff to take action.

Support performance index template. User can filter the performance index to follow in index template and add multiple performance index templates to one performance index template group, then use performance index template group to custom-made performance index to collect in collection task creation.

Support performance threshold template. User can use performance threshold template and performance index template together to configure performance threshold in batch for multiple performance index quickly.

1.3 Application scenes

Network environment needs to ensure the normal operation of service. Monitoring and analyzing network devices connectivity, BER, traffic and other various performance data, can confirm the stability of operation and find decline of service quality before the fault occurred. Because worse service quality as a warning of the network problems, so set alarm threshold.

Performance monitoring service can be used in the following application scenarios.

In the network deployment, the performance monitoring service can take fast monitoring to the equipment performance, help maintenance staff to know the operation status and discover the operation problems in the process of equipment deployment, so as to improve the overall efficiency.

During the early time of network operation, use can find the network bottleneck through performance monitoring on key devices, which will facilitate for network optimization and guarantee the stable operation after network deployment.

In the process of network operation and maintenance, real-time performance monitoring can confirm the operation status of equipments, and historical performance monitoring is easy for statistical records based on performance threshold.

With the fast development of network services, the reasonable performance threshold setting can generate performance alarm before fault occurrence, which avoids the performance bottlenecks and facilitates network expansion in time.

When fault occurs, operation & maintenance staff will analyze the possible causes of the fault through the historical performance graph in order to remove the fault quickly.

After troubleshooting, operation & maintenance staff will confirm equipment working status through monitoring real-time performance data so as to make sure that the faults are removed completely.

1.4 Basic concepts

Performance data is the important data generated in network equipment operation. User can control the equipment running status, forecast and clear troubles through analyzing the performance data. Performance management is one of the key function modules in TMN (Telecom Management

Network) theoretical models. NView NNM performance monitoring service has met the requirements of performance management.

Some basic concepts involved in system interface and configuration operation of performance component are described below:

Performance collection data: performance monitoring service collects performance data from actual device, including real-time performance data and historical performance data. Real-time performance data refers to performance monitoring service collect

performance data real-timely from network device, but not stored in database. Network management client will draw real-time performance graph according to real-time performance data in order to view the monitoring real-time performance.

Historical performance data refers to performance collection task collects historical performance data from network device and then store to database for users to view. Network management client can draw historical performance graph according to historical performance data.

Performance collection resource: various resources supporting performance management in network management system, including NE, chassis, central office board, ONU, various ports, CPU and RAM, etc. the resources have corresponding performance collection index, performance monitoring service can collect performance data to resources supporting performance management.

Performance collection index: refers to classify resource performance collection data. For example: “CPU utilization” and “Ethernet port packet loss rate” are performance collection index, corresponding to CPU and Ethernet port resource performance collection data respectively. All performance index data type, accuracy, maximum value and minimum value are depended on the actual network device, each performance management object has relevant performance collection index. User can use performance index group to filter collection index to follow.

Index group: the category of performance collection index. Each performance collection belongs to one index group. For example, “Ethernet port” is an index group, including packet loss rate (receive), unicast packets (receive), port flow (Transmit) and other index.

Performance management object: index group subset or universal set. For example: The Ethernet port of some type of device only support index group “Ethernet port” index, then the Ethernet port of this type of device corresponding performance management object are only this part of index.

Performance threshold: performance collection index threshold. When index data exceeds performance threshold, according to user configuration performance monitoring service will generate alarm and report to NView NNM network management system. User can use performance threshold template to configure performance index in batch.

Collection task: tasks performed by performance monitoring service. User configures device performance collection resource, collection time and period, index and threshold comprehensively to form collection task. The collection task is scheduled and performed by performance monitoring service and collect performance data from actual device.

Single node task: take collection configuration to the collection resource of single network element node. The single network element node supports to configure multiple collection resources and multiple performance indexes in batch in one collection task. These collection resources and performance indexes need to belong to the same performance management object.

Batch deployment task: take collection configuration to the collection resource of multiple network element nodes, supporting to configure collection task to multiple collection resources with the same performance management object in batch.

1.5 Install and upgrade

Performance monitoring service needs to cooperate with NView NNM for use。

Chapter 4 Configure Performance Template

This chapter introduces the configuration methods of performance template group, performance template and threshold template.

Overview Configure metric template group Configure user-defined metric template Configure threshold template

4.1 Overview

There are so many device and port resources in network, and the resources often support multiple performance collection metrics and performance threshold. For the refined port-level performance collection, how to provide a convenient and rational configuration method is very necessary.

User can select performance metrics and threshold template easily in collection task configuration process to improve configuration efficiency. If templates used in collection task need unify modification, user can stop collection task to modify the templates, and then restart collection task to take performance collection and threshold monitoring according to the modified template.

Performance monitoring task template supports the following features:

Support metric template group function: the metric template group can contain multiple metrics templates, users can define metric template group to facilitate to classify and view.

Support metric template function: metric template contains the related performance metrics, user can define metric template and filter performance metric to pay attention to. Performance template function can make performance metric template, provide multiple templates based on network element device or port types, and basically meet performance monitoring configuration requirements. The operation and maintenance can also define metric template to performance metric to pay attention to.

Support threshold template function: performance threshold template refers to configure performance metric alarm threshold in template based on performance metrics template. The alarm threshold is divided into upper threshold and lower threshold, each can be configured to emergency, major, minor, and prompt alarm levels respectively, and at the same time can configure whether to report alarm to NView NNM when performance metric exceeds the threshold.

Note:

The performance monitoring service provides system default performance metrics template and template group, but not provide default performance threshold template.

If not need user-defined metric template, user can use the system default metric template to configure collection task directly.

If need to configure performance alarm threshold, please configure threshold template and then configure collection task.

4.2 Configure metric template group

The performance monitoring service provides system default template group “system metric

4.3 Configure user-defined metric template

The performance monitoring service provides a rich system default metric template; the default metric template contains all performance metrics. If users only need to focus on some certain metrics, they can define metrics template.

The system default template only supports to view performance metrics and properties information in template, but not support to modify and delete. User-defined metric template support to modify and delete, but has the following constraints.

If the collection task with user-defined template is started, user cannot modify and delete user-defined template.

If the collection task with user-defined template is stopped, user can modify user-defined template and after restarting collection task, performance monitoring service will take collection in accordance with the modified metric template.

The metric template used by collection task doesn’t support to delete, please make sure whether need to delete the used metric template collection task; Only when all collection tasks with this template are deleted, the user-defined metric template can be deleted.

Note:

Collection task configuration needs to select the device or port resources; user needs to consider whether the template metrics are suitable to the actual situation of device in user-defined metric template. Although user can specify any metrics in the template, but only the templates in line with the device or port resources can be selected to take collection task, and the template metrics not matching actual performance resources cannot perform collection operation. For example:

Ethernet port metrics group can be divided into “Ethernet port”, “Ethernet port (ISCOM5108ETHPORT)” and “Ethernet port (DLCOMETHPORT)” metric groups according to the type of device. User needs to select metrics in “Ethernet port (ISCOM5108ETHPORT)” to define metric template for ISCOM5108.

To configure collection task for Ethernet port, user only needs to select the template including “Ethernet port” performance metrics.

Step 1 Create user-defined metric template.

In NView NNM system menu, click [Performance/Template Management/Metrics Template Management] to open metric template list interface.

Right-click in the list interface, click [Add] in shortcut menu to pop up metric template dialog box; the interface and parameters are shown as below.

4.4 Configure threshold template

The network service quality declining is often a precursor to failure, after setting alarm threshold, operation and maintenance personnel will get alarm information when service quality declines to a certain extent and thus take countermeasures to avoid the failure. The main role of alarm threshold: during the execution process of collection task, some of the properties exceed the value setting in alarm threshold, it will send alarm notification. Users need to set alarm threshold if they want to monitor performance data purposefully.

4.4.1 Configure threshold template Alarm metrics threshold are usually divided into upper and lower limit alarms, and support multiple alarm levels thresholds respectively, so the configuration is generally more complicated. When the threshold template is created, user can use threshold template to configure performance collection task simply and quickly. Multiple collection tasks can use the same or different threshold templates and when collection tasks are stopped, user can take unified modification to collection task

Threshold template is associated with the performance metrics template, each performance metric template support to associate with multiple threshold templates, and each threshold template can only belong to one metric template and after threshold template is created, its subordinated metric template cannot be modified. To configure collection task, user can only select one metric template and use one threshold template subordinated this metric template at most.

Performance metric threshold is configured depending on the specific circumstances, the threshold template does not provide the system default template, but provides a unified template structure for user to configure. Threshold template supports to modify and delete, but has the following constraints:

If the collection task with threshold template is started, user cannot modify and delete threshold template.

If the collection task with threshold template is stopped, user can modify threshold template and after restarting collection task, performance monitoring service will take monitoring in accordance with the modified threshold template.

The threshold template used by collection task doesn’t support to delete, please make sure whether need to delete the used metric template collection task; Only when all collection tasks with this template are deleted, the threshold template can be deleted.

Chapter 5 Configure Performance Collection Task

This chapter introduces the methods to configure batch and single-point performance collection task.

Overview Configuration process Interface description Create batch deployment task Create single-point task Start collection task Stop collection task Manage collection task

5.1 Overview

To take performance monitoring to network element device, user usually needs to set resources, performance metric and threshold to collect and perform continuously and periodically. According to performance monitoring features, performance monitoring service provides collection task mode to take performance monitoring to network equipment. Performance collection also provides metrics template and threshold template configuration function; the configuration process is simple and convenient, which improves the performance monitoring configuration efficiency.

Performance monitoring collection task supports to select performance collection resources, performance metrics, alarm thresholds, and supports to configure collection frequency as well as task execution cycle, etc. Performance monitoring service takes scheduling to perform collection task and performance monitoring to network element device based on user configuration, and then records the collected performance data to the database for user to view historical performance data and historical performance graph.

Performance collection task is divided into the following two types:

Batch deployment tasks: to take performance monitoring to network element device, user can use performance monitoring service batch deployment collection tasks function to configure performance collection to multiple device resources with the same type. User only needs to configure a collection task to monitor multiple resources; in one batch deployment task, these resources with the same type can belong to different network element devices.

Single-point task: single-point configuration is to configure a single device. The main function of single-point configuration is to configure and issue collection task with single device as collection object. A single collection device object can configure performance metrics in batch to multiple collection resources of this single-point simultaneously by configuring collection task. These resources belong to one network element device, and the collection resources in one single-point task also need the same type of collection resources.

5.2 Configuration process

The process to configure performance collection task is shown in figure 5-1. The collection task configuration process has the following features.

www.raisecom.com User Manual

32

Performance monitoring service provides system default template for each type of collection resources, so after selecting collection resource, it will use system default template by default, or select user-defined metric template to filter the performance metric to monitor.

To monitor performance metric threshold, user needs to configure threshold template at first, and then take selection in collection task configuration.

By default, performance collection task will be collected continuously when the collection task is started. If user needs to define collection execution cycle, please configure collection plan.

Right-click in the collection task interface, click [Add] in the shortcut menu to show Add batch deployment task interface. As shown in Figure 5-3, the batch deployment task can take continuous performance collection to multiple Ethernet ports on three devices; performance metric uses system default metric template and does not configure performance threshold template.

To add batch deployment tasks, select collection resources at first, and then configure the basic information of task to create batch deployment tasks. The collection plan, collection template and threshold template in collection task are optional configuration.

Default collection plan will take collection continuous when collection task is started; user can define performance collection time and cycle in collection plan configuration. User-defined collection supports to configure collection task execution date, time, weekly/monthly days and other parameters.

For performance resources, performance monitoring service provides system default metric template, select performance resources, and then select system default metric template automatically. User can click <Advanced> to configure user-defined metric template and threshold template.

Threshold template refers to select the created threshold template to monitor the performance metric threshold. It will report performance threshold alarm to NView NNM once performance metric exceeds the threshold.

Chapter 6 Browse Historical Performance

This chapter introduces the methods to browse historical performance graph and use data.

Overview Function entrance Browse historical performance graph

6.1 Overview

Historical performance browsing of network device is an important means to learn device operating and service status. To view performance data from the command line, the performance data refers to performance value at some time or time slot, which is not intuitive to operate, but more cumbersome.

The historical performance graph function provided by performance monitoring service can make performance data graphical, draw performance graph automatically based on historical performance data, and display the working status of device performance data clearly and intuitively.

When collection task is configured, performance monitoring service will perform performance data collection and save them to database. User can browse historical performance graph and data to view whether the network device and service are running normally so that the operation and maintenance personnel can check.

The historical performance graph is divided into the following six categories:

Original: collected original performance data, including all performance data collected after the performance task is started.

Hour: hourly performance data, taking statistics based on original performance data, one piece of record per hour.

Day: daily performance data, taking statistics based on original performance data, one piece of record per day.

Week: weekly performance data, taking statistics based on original performance data, one piece of record per week.

Month: monthly performance data, taking statistics based on original performance data, one piece of record per month.

Year: annual performance data, taking statistics based on original performance data, one piece of record per year.

6.2 Function entrance

The function entrance to browse historical performance graph and data and monitor real-time performance graph and data is the same, which is shown in “Historical performance graph” tab page in performance graph interface. Historical performance graph and real-time performance graph interfaces are basically the same, please refers to 3.2 Function entrance for the detailed description of

different functions interface.

To browse historical performance graph supports four function entrances for users to select:

In performance monitoring service performance graph, select a single network element to monitor. This way can easily switch network element to select in the network.

In topology figure or topology tree, select a single network element to monitor. This way can only monitor the selected network element.

In performance collection task management interface, select a single task to monitor. This way can only monitor performance resources configured in collection task.

In inventory management, select the records of a single network element to monitor. This way can only monitor the selected network element.

6.3 Browse historical performance graph

To browse historical performance graph can master the device's operating performance status, as shown in Figure 6-1. Click [Performance/Performance Graph] in system menu to enter this interface. Interfaces from other function entrance and this interface are basically the same, for other function entrance has already specify network element or specific performance collection resource in launching performance graph operation, so there is no area in the left side to select network element device.
