▀ Features and Functionality - Base Software

The system can be configured to collect bulk statistics (performance data) and send them to a collection server (called a

receiver). Bulk statistics are statistics that are collected in a group. The individual statistics are grouped by schema.

Following is a partial list of supported schemas:

 System: Provides system-level statistics

 Card: Provides card-level statistics

 Port: Provides port-level statistics

 GTP-U: Provides GPRS Tunneling Protocol - User message statistics

 HNB-AAL2: Provides ATM adaptation layer 2 (AAL2) protocol level-statistics

 HNB-ALCAP: Provides Access Link Control Application Part (ALCAP) service-level statistics

 CS-Network-RANAP: Provides RANAP-level statistics for HNB-CS network

 CS-Network-RTP: Provides RTP protocol-level statistics for HNB-CS network

 HNB-GW-HNBAP: Provides HNBAP-level statistics for HNB-GW service

 HNB-GW-RANAP: Provides RANAP-level statistics for HNB-GW service

 HNB-GW-RTP: Provides RTP protocol-level statistics for HNB-GW service

 HNB-GW-RUA: Provides RUA protocol-level statistics for HNB-GW service

 HNB-GW-SCTP: Provides HNB -SCTP protocol-level statistics

 PS-Network--RANAP: Provides RANAP-level statistics for HNB-PS network

 SCCP: Provides SCCP service-level statistics at system-level

 SS7Link: Provides SS7 link configuration related statistics at system-level

 SS7 Routing Domain: Provides SS7 Routing domain configuration related statistics at system level

The system supports the configuration of up to 4 sets (primary/secondary) of receivers. Each set can be configured with

to collect specific sets of statistics from the various schemas. Statistics can be pulled manually from the IMG or sent at

configured intervals. The bulk statistics are stored on the receiver(s) in files.

The format of the bulk statistic data files can be configured by the user. Users can specify the format of the file name,

file headers, and/or footers to include information such as the date, IMG host name, IMG uptime, the IP address of the

system generating the statistics (available for only for headers and footers), and/or the time that the file was generated.

When the Web Element Manager is used as the receiver, it is capable of further processing the statistics data through

XML parsing, archiving, and graphing.

The Bulk Statistics Server component of the Web Element Manager parses collected statistics and stores the information

in the PostgreSQL database. If XML file generation and transfer is required, this element generates the XML output and

can send it to a Northbound NMS or an alternate bulk statistics server for further processing.

Additionally, if archiving of the collected statistics is desired, the Bulk Statistics server writes the files to an alternative

directory on the server. A specific directory can be configured by the administrative user or the default directory can be

used. Regardless, the directory can be on a local file system or on an NFS-mounted file system on the Web Element

Manager server.
