13 Chapter 1: Introduction This chapter discusses the following topics: Topic Page Overview 1 How is the Data Collected? 1 How is the Data Processed and Loaded into the Database? 2 How is the Data Reported? 3 Overview Netcool/Proviso Application Packs are individually installed modules that contain discovery, grouping, collection, and reporting instructions created by Application Pack developers or Professional Services personnel for a specific network technology or network equipment provider, such as RFC DSL. Once installed, an Application Pack programs Netcool/Proviso to inventory and group specific network resources, perform mathematical calculations on raw or aggregated data streams collected from these resources, and produce key performance monitoring metrics that are stored on the Netcool/Proviso database. Reporter sets designed for each Application Pack query the database for this information and display the results on a web portal in the form of specialized report tables, graphs, and charts. This chapter provides an overview of how Application Packs work with Netcool/Proviso to collect, process, load, and report data from a network environment. How is the Data Collected? Inventory After a Netcool/Proviso Application Pack has been installed, an inventory process must be run so that the Application Pack s target network resources can be identified and modeled within Netcool/Proviso as subelements. Sub-elements must be created before data from any network resource can be collected, processed, and stored in the database. How sub-elements are discovered depends on whether the target resources are SNMP resources or non-snmp resources: For SNMP network resources, an Application Pack provides a discovery formula. Discovery formulas are used to evaluate network resources, determine which resources become sub-elements, and set values for items defined as properties in the formula. Once all the sub-elements have been discovered and created in the database, the inventory process organizes the sub-elements according to the grouping rules provided by Netcool/Proviso RFC DSL Application Pack User s Guide, Version 4.3-U 1

14 Chapter 1: Introduction an Application Pack. The grouping rules use the properties and values defined within inventory formulas or adaptor design files to filter the sub-elements into their appropriate collection or reporting groups. For non-snmp network resources, an Application Pack provides a Bulk Adaptor Design File. Bulk Adaptor Design Files define how data fields that reside in files generated by network resources are used to create subelements and set values for items defined as properties. During the database synchronization phase of the inventory process, the list of discovered sub-elements is compared to what exists in the database. Newly discovered sub-elements are assigned a resource identifier (RID) and timestamp, and the database uses both items to create a new entry for the sub-element to reflect the known state of the network inventory. Collection Following the completion of the inventory process, Netcool/Proviso is ready to collect performance data for an Application Pack s target network resources. An Application Pack provides Netcool/Proviso with collection formulas that instruct a DataLoad collector residing in a DataChannel to collect specific types of performance data against a particular sub-element. The types of collection formulas applied to the data depend on whether the sub-element is an SNMP resource or non-snmp resource: For SNMP network resources, an Application Pack provides SNMP collection formulas. SNMP collection formulas instruct the SNMP Collector to take the data gathered during a specified collection interval, perform some mathematical operation on the data, and output the result as a performance metric. For non-snmp network resources, an Application Pack provides Bulk collection formulas. A Bulk collection formula, unlike an SNMP collection formula, has no executable instructions. A Bulk collection formula consists of a metric name that is mapped by the Bulk Adaptor Design File to a statistic that resides in the input file generated by a network resource. Either type of collection formula outputs a metric and corresponding unique metric identifier (MID) that are passed along the DataChannel to the Complex Metric Engine for processing. How is the Data Processed and Loaded into the Database? The Complex Metric Engine (CME) is a component in the DataChannel that performs calculations on data gathered by the SNMP or Bulk collectors deployed in a network. These calculations include the following: Pre-defined formulas that are provided by an Application Pack User-defined formulas created using the CME Formula API Time aggregations for sub-elements In addition to performing calculations on the data stream in the DataChannel, the CME also buffers and sorts metric records according to their RIDs and MIDs to optimize how the data and metrics are stored in the database. 2 Netcool/Proviso RFC DSL Application Pack User s Guide, Version 4.3-U

15 Chapter 1: Introduction CME Operation The CME is designed to work with data that is gathered over the space of one hour. Within that hour, there are several distinct phases that characterize the operation of the CME: Loading Phase Building Phase Processing Phase Output Phase Loading Phase During the beginning of each hour, the CME creates a new network configuration model based on the inventory structure that exists in the database at that time. This model is used as a snapshot of the network environment and serves as the basis for all metric processing for the entire duration of the hour. At the end of the hour, the CME polls the database for any changes that have been made to the inventory and creates a new network configuration model for the next hour. As the CME reloads its configuration hourly, any metrics produced by sub-elements following the last polling period are rejected by the CME until the beginning of the next hour. Building Phase Once the current configuration model has been built, the CME creates a table of sub-elements and metrics that are expected for the current hour. The CME uses the RIDs and MIDs to build the table and determine which metrics should be arriving from the collectors. The table also specifies how resources are related, and determines if there are any CME formulas that must be applied to a sub-element s metrics once the data is gathered. Processing Phase Whenever new data arrives at the CME, it is evaluated and stored in the appropriate table location, along with any Resource Aggregation information. Once the input and processing dependencies for a metric in the table have been met, the CME processes the metrics and stores the data until the end of the hour. Output Phase At the end of the current hour, the CME outputs everything in memory to the Hourly and Daily Loaders. The data sent to the database loaders includes the sorted data for the current hour, and resource and group aggregations for each of the processing periods up to the current time. The Hourly Loader computes group and resource aggregations, while the Daily Loader creates metric statistics and inserts the data into the database. How is the Data Reported? The data collected, processed, and stored in the database by Netcool/Proviso is organized and output for customers using reporter sets that are designed by developers and Professional Services personnel for a specific Application Pack. Netcool/Proviso RFC DSL Application Pack User s Guide, Version 4.3-U 3

16 Chapter 1: Introduction An Application Pack reporter set is a related group of reports that provide performance information on a specific set of devices or resources that exist in a network. Each report consists of a series of queries that retrieve related sub-elements and their corresponding metrics from the database using the RIDs and MIDs assigned during the inventory and collection processes. The retrieved results are then organized within the report and are displayed on a web portal in the form of tables, graphs, and charts. An Application Pack provides a variety of reports and charts, including: Resource Summary Reports (RSTs) (sometimes referred to as Resource Summary Tables) aggregate data across time for an individual sub-element and define the statistics that are relevant for a measure of its network performance. Group Summary Reports (GSTs) (sometimes referred to as Group Summary Tables) aggregate data across both time and sub-elements, and define the statistics that are relevant for a measure of network performance for a group of resources. Detail Charts (DCs) display raw data for a metric that has been aggregated for an individual sub-element over a particular period of time. Dashboards display a series of abbreviated tables and charts that provide an overall summary of the metrics collected for the target network resource supported by the Application Pack. Timeseries charts present time series information, where the x axis is time and the y axis is the data value. TopN reports list the N highest values during a specified time range for a specific metric. Resource Distribution charts (often referred to as pie charts) show the distribution of resources across specific ranges. Typically, a legend for the Resource Distribution chart appears in the report. Resource Over Threshold Tables (RTTs) display a list of resources that have violated their threshold for a specific metric. Typically, users navigate to an RTT from a Group Summary Table (GST), using the threshold overflow cell navigation link. Ratio charts show the relationship of a single metric among different resources or a single resource among different metrics. 4 Netcool/Proviso RFC DSL Application Pack User s Guide, Version 4.3-U

17 Chapter 2: Supported Reports This chapter discusses the following topics: Topic Page Overview 5 Reporter Sets 5 Overview The RFC DSL Application Pack supplies a set of reports suitable for displaying information about the devices and activity associated with the RFC DSL environment. Reports contain metrics that are generated by the formulas that this application pack provides. Metric names are the same as the names of the formulas that generate them. For information about a metric that is listed for a particular report, see the description of the associated formula in the collection formula chapter of this guide. This chapter includes information to help you navigate to a particular report on the DataView portal. This navigation path is the same as the path where the report has been deployed through the DataMart Resource Editor. Note, however, that some reports are not explicitly deployed on the portal navigation path. You can display such a report by "drilling down" to it from other reports. For information about understanding report types, creating reports, configuring reports, viewing and working with reports, and deploying reports, see the Netcool/Proviso DataView User s Guide. This Application Pack User s Guide assumes an understanding of the report-related topics discussed in the Netcool/Proviso DataView User s Guide. Reporter Sets Reporter sets contain groups of related reports that provide summary and detailed information about a specific network device or technology. This application pack provides the reporter sets listed below. The list presents the reporter sets as they appear in the DataView Navigator tree structure: AP RFC DSL Pack...ATUC Line...Channel Reports...Line Reports for Error Seconds...Line Reports for Loss Seconds...Bit Metrics...Bit Throughput Reports...Bit Health Reports The following pages describe the reporter sets and the reports they contain.

47 Chapter 3: Devices and Services This chapter discusses the following topics: Topic Page Overview 35 Supported MIBs 36 Overview The RFC DSL Application Pack reports performance metrics for DSL (Digital Subscriber Loop/Line) lines and channels. DSL technology is used over ordinary telephone copper wires on the local loop to enable broadband physical connectivity between a remote site (such as a home) and the nearest telecommunications central office (access node). The endpoint local to the access node is the ATU-C (for Central Office ) and the remote endpoint is the ATU-R ( remote ). This distinction is important for interpreting the metrics and resources in the MIBs. There are four types of DSL: Very high bit-rate DSL (VSDL) Provides fast connection, but works over a short distance only. Symmetric DSL (SDSL) Used mainly by small businesses, this type does not allow you to use the phone at the same time. The speed of receiving and sending data is the same. Rate-adaptive DSL (RADSL) The modem can adjust the speed of the connection depending on the length and quality of the line. This type is a variation of ASDL. Asymmetric DSL (ADSL) Provides asymmetric transmission, where the volume of data flow is larger in one direction than the other. This functionality is ideal for such uses as downloading information from the Internet. This application pack is developed for ADSL technology. Key Functionality The RFC DSL Application Pack focuses on the following DSL functionality: DSLAM The Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) ATU-C supports different varieties of protocol and modulation (CAP and DMT). A DSLAM takes connections from many customers and aggregates them into a single, high-capacity connection to the Internet. The DSLAM can provide additional functions, including routing or dynamic IP address assignment. Fast and interleaved channels Modulation The modulation types are as follows: DMT (Discrete Multitone) The data transmission is adapted to the channel conditions individually for each subcarrier. Netcool/Proviso RFC DSL Application Pack User s Guide, Version 4.3-U 35

48 Chapter 3: Devices and Services CAP (Carrierless Amplitude and Phase Modulation) This is a nonstandard version of QAM that splits the available space into three bands: 0 to 4 khz is for POTS (plain old telephone service) transmissions; 25 khz to 160 khz is for upstream data traffic; and 240 khz to 1.5MHz is for downstream data traffic. QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) The data is transmitted by changing the amplitude of two carrier waves. DSL Statistics The RFC DSL Application Pack provides the following statistics: Traffic (throughput and utilization) Health (errors and drops) See Chapter 2, Supported Reports, for detailed information about the supported reports. Note: The RFC DSL Application Pack operates with RFC DSL devices running Version of the operating system. Supported MIBs The RFC DSL Application Pack uses the following MIBs for inventory and data collection: DSL-specific MIBs ADSL-LINE-MIB (RFC 2662) ADSL-TC-MIB ADSL-LINE-EXT-MIB (RFC 3440) Standard MIBs SNMP Framework MIB (rfc2571.mib) PerfHist-TC MIB (rfc2493.mib) RFC 1213-MIB 36 Netcool/Proviso RFC DSL Application Pack User s Guide, Version 4.3-U

49 Chapter 4: Element and Sub-Element Properties This chapter discusses the following topics: Topic Page Overview 37 RFC DSL Device Element Properties 37 RFC DSL Device Sub-Element Properties 38 Overview A Netcool/Proviso property is an attribute or characteristic of an element or sub-element. Typically, a Netcool/Proviso Application Pack uses an inventory process to collect information generated by the devices, interfaces, and services operating in the technology environment it supports. An application pack uses Netcool/Proviso properties for some or all of the following purposes: To organize information in reports To display values in reports To construct names such as sub-element names, sub-element instance names, and sub-element labels The Netcool/Proviso properties associated with sub-elements appear in the Properties list (Sub-Element view) of the Netcool/Proviso DataMart Resource Editor. See the Netcool/Proviso DataMart Configuration Guide for more information on the Resource Editor. RFC DSL Device Element Properties The RFC DSL Application Pack defines the following properties for the elements it creates: Element Property ipaddress ipname The Internet Protocol (IP) address of the network device on which the SNMP Agent is running. For example: The IP name of the RFC DSL device. The ipname property might have the same value as the ipaddress property. Netcool/Proviso RFC DSL Application Pack User s Guide, Version 4.3-U 37

50 Chapter 4: Element and Sub-Element Properties Element Property physaddress sysdescr sysname The physical address of the RFC DSL device. For example: A string that identifies the manufacturer of or some other information about the RFC DSL device on which the SNMP Agent is running. For example: "AdslsysDescr5" A string that identifies the name of the system. For example: "AdslsysName5" RFC DSL Device Sub-Element Properties The RFC DSL Application Pack defines the following properties for the sub-elements it creates: Sub-Element Property DSL_ifName The textual name of the interface. For example, 0. DSL_ifType DSL_ifSpeed DSL_ifStatus DSL_ifConnectorPresent DSL_Location DSL_SysName DSL_Invariant The interface type. The possible values are as follows: adsl The physical Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Loop line fast Fast channel interleave Interleave channel An estimate of the interface s current bandwidth, in bits per second. For example, 12. The state of the interface. For example: up:up A Boolean value that indicates whether the interface sublayer has a physical connector (True). For each interface type, the default values are as follows: 1 (True) Physical 0 (False) Fast and interleaved The physical location of this node. For example, AdslLocation5. The name for this managed node. For example, "AdslsysName5". The invariant fingerprint. The invariant is a combination of ifname and ifalias to specify the sub-element. For example, 0 0. Note: To see a list of the properties that this application pack defines for each of the sub-element it creates, see the chapter on defined resources. 38 Netcool/Proviso RFC DSL Application Pack User s Guide, Version 4.3-U

51 Chapter 5: Sub-Element Grouping Rules This chapter discusses the following topics: Topic Page Overview 39 NOC Reporting Grouping Rules 40 Sub-Element Collect Grouping Rules 42 Overview Typically, a Netcool/Proviso Application Pack defines sub-element grouping rules. Grouping rules organize and filter networking data into a structure that makes it easier to collect data on thousands or millions of resources. Sub-element grouping rules organize data in tree structures. Each folder (branch) in the tree is associated with a rule or condition. If a sub-element property satisfies the rule or condition associated with a folder in the grouping tree, the sub-element is placed in the folder. The sub-element is then tested against the rule or condition in the next folder below. If the sub-element passes that test, it is tested against the rule or condition in the next folder, and so on. The RFC DSL Application Pack uses some of its Netcool/Proviso properties to define sub-element grouping rules. Grouping rule names appear in the Name field (Rule Sub-Element view) of the Netcool/Proviso DataMart Rule Editor. For information on how to use the Netcool/Proviso DataMart Rule Editor, see the Netcool/Proviso DataMart Configuration Guide. The Rule Editor contains two grouping rule trees the NOC reporting tree and the sub-element collect tree. The following sections describe the filtering rules and conditions in these trees.
