1.1 Introduction to Performance Management

The NetNumen U31 system provides a diversity of performance management functions
for monitoring the running status of microwave transmission equipment to ensure
the efficiency, stability, and security of the managed network. It collects performance
data from the network, analyzes the collected data, and then provides the network
administrator with sufficient and complete information for the operation and maintenance
of the network. The network administrator can make appropriate operation policies based
on the network status to guarantee high-efficiency operation of the network.
The performance management functions of NetNumen U31 can be grouped into the
following four types:
l Customization of Data Collection Tasks
By customizing a data collection task, you can enable the system to collect specific
performance data.
l Performance Data Collection
The system collects performance data and stores the collected data in its database
according to predefined performance tasks.
l Performance Data Query
The system supports the query of performance data that has been collected and
stored in the database. It displays the query result on the client interface.
l Performance Threshold Management
The system supports the setting of upper and lower thresholds for key performance
indexes. Once the value of an index is higher than the upper threshold or lower than
the lower threshold, the fault management module of the system can raise a threshold
crossing alarm.

NetNumen U31 R58 Performance Management Operation Guide
1.2 Basic Concepts in Performance Management

The following explains the basic concepts for your better understanding of performance
management operations described in this manual.
l Measured Object
Measured object can be a physical entity, a logic entity, or the combination of physical
entity and logic entity that needs to be measured.
l Measurement Type
Measurement type is a basic element of measurement that supports the measurement
of different indexes of a measured object. Different measured objects involve different
measurement types. You can choose a measurement type for a measurement
according to the indexes you want to measure.
l Counter
Counter is a specific measurement index involved in a measurement type. Each
measurement type has a number of measurement indexes.
l Collection Granularity
Collection granularity refers to the cycle of collecting data from boards in network
devices.
Note:
NetNumen U31 only supports the collection granularity of 15 minutes.
l Calculation Index
Calculation index is used to evaluate equipment performance. It is the arithmetic result
of related measurement items. The system already presets some calculation indexes
for generic applications.
l QoS
Quality of Service (QoS) is a network security mechanism and technology used
to solve network delay and congestion problems. It prevents important services
from being delayed or discarded when the network is overloaded or congested, and
therefore guarantees high-efficiency operation of the network.
l Measurement Task
Measurement task is a task defined for performance data measurement. After a
measurement task is created, the system automatically collects the values of required
performance parameters during the preset period, and gives the statistical result of
network performance, from which the operator can know the network operation status.
l Threshold Task
1-2

Chapter 1 Performance Management Overview
Threshold task, also called QoS task, is intended to monitoring specific measurement
data during a preset period. As defined in a threshold task, when the calculated value
of an index exceeds the preset high threshold or smaller than the preset low threshold,
a threshold crossing alarm is raised. The threshold crossing alarm disappears when
the calculated value during a later measurement period is within the preset threshold
range.

à Query performance data by common template or query template.
For details, refer to Section 9.4 Querying Performance Data by Query Template,
and Section 9.5 Querying Performance Data by Common Template.
l Customize a performance index as needed, and create a threshold task for monitoring
a counter or performance index. After a threshold task is successfully created, a
threshold crossing alarm will be raised when the calculated value of the index or
counter involved in this task exceeds the preset high threshold or smaller than the
preset low threshold.
For details, refer to:

Prerequisites
Before you delete a measurement task, make sure that:
normal.
l The measurement task to be deleted is suspended and its consistency status is
normal.
l The origin of the measurement task to be modified is client. That means the
measurement task is manually created by a user on a client.
2-9

Note:
An active measurement task can be suspended only when its consistency status is normal.
Only a suspended task can be modified.

2.5 Activating a Measurement Task

Abstract
The NetNumen U31 system does not collect required performance data for a suspended
measurement task. After you activate the suspended measurement task, the system
converts the measurement task into individual NE measurement task(s) that can
be identified and performed by corresponding NEs, and then synchronizes the NE
measurement task(s) to corresponding NE(s).
After the synchronization is completed, the system checks the consistency status of
each NE measurement task involved in the measurement task. If the consistency status
of an NE measurement task is abnormal, the system deems that the activation of the
2-10

measurement task fails. You need to troubleshoot the synchronization failure and perform
the activation operation again. For how to check the consistency status of a measurement
task, refer to Section 2.8 Viewing the Consistency Status of a Measurement Task.
If the synchronization is successful, corresponding NE(s) collect performance data
according to the task schedule and transfer the collected performance data to the system.
The system stores the received performance data in its database.
Note:
You can activate multiple measurement tasks of the same type at a time when the origins
of these tasks are the same. For example, if some measurement tasks are all created
via the NetNumen U31 client and they are of the same type, you can activate them at the
same time.
The following example shows how to activate a measurement task.
Prerequisites
Before you activate a measurement task, make sure that:

normal.
l The measurement task you want to activate is suspended.
Steps
On the Measurement Task Management tab, find the measurement task to be activated,
and do one of the following:
l Right-click the measurement task, and then click Activate Measurement Task on the
shortcut menu.
Tip:
To activate multiple measurement tasks at a time, press and hold down the Ctrl or
Shift key while selecting the measurement tasks to be activated, and then click on
the toolbar, or right-click any selected task and click Activate Measurement Task.

changes from Suspended to Activated.
2.6 Suspending a Measurement Task

Abstract
The system does not collect performance data required by a suspended measurement
task. Only an active measurement task with normal consistency status can be suspended.
Note:
You can suspend multiple active measurement tasks of the same type at a time when
the origin of these tasks are the same. For example, if some measurement tasks are all
created via the NetNumen U31 client and they are of the same type, you can suspend
them at the same time.
The following example shows how to suspend a measurement task.
Prerequisites
Before you suspend a measurement task, make sure that:
normal.
l The measurement task you want to suspend is active.
l The consistency status of the measurement task is normal.

2.8 Checking the Consistency Status of a Measurement

Task
Abstract
This section describes how to check the consistency status of a measurement task.
The measurement task created on the client can be regarded as a logical task, which
may involve multiple NEs and multiple Measured Objects (MOs). To synchronize such
measurement task to corresponding NEs, the system converts the measurement task into
individual NE-based NE measurement tasks, each involving one NE and one MO.
The system deems that the status of a logical measurement task is consistent when all
of its NE measurement tasks are successfully synchronized to corresponding NEs. The
synchronization failure of any NE measurement task results in inconsistent status of the
logical measurement task.
Prerequisites
Before you check the consistency status of a measurement task, make sure that:
normal.
Steps

4.1 Introduction to Counter and Index Management

The management objects of a performance threshold task (also called threshold task) are
counters and/or indexes. You can define a threshold task for monitoring specific index(es).
To define an index, you need to specify its name, formula and type.
Performance indexes can be classified into the following four types according to their
importance and usage.
l Key Performance Index (KPI)
A KPI is an index that indicates a key performance of a network. The purpose of a
threshold task is to monitor one or more KPIs. When the system detects that the value
of a KPI exceeds the threshold range specified in the task, a threshold crossing alarm
is raised. Threshold crossing alarms are classified into four levels by severity: critical,
major, minor and warning. All KPI threshold crossing alarms have the same alarm
code.
l Performance Index (PI)
A PI is a common index that indicates a network performance.

l Statistical Performance Index (SPI)
An SPI is the count of a measured object based on a specific statistic rule. A statistic
rule is a logical expression, for example, call completion ratio≥95%.
l User-defined Performance Index
You can also define and manage performance index according to the actual
requirements in the system.
4-1

Note:
l A KPI or PI corresponds to one measured object; and an SPI corresponds to one type
of measured objects.
l User-defined KPIs can be modified and deleted when they are not in use. The default
indexes provided by the system cannot be modified or deleted.
l The value of each counter in the formulas of KPIs comes from basic measurements.
KPIs can be used in the following scenarios:

l Creation of Threshold Task
Only KPIs are used in threshold tasks. If a KPI is used in a threshold task, the system
determines whether to raise a threshold crossing alarm after comparing the KPI value
with the preset thresholds according to the threshold task. The threshold crossing
alarms that are triggered by different KPIs have the same alarm code but different
details.
l Query of KPI Value

On request of querying the value of a KPI, the system calculates the value according
to the KPI formula and displays the calculation result on the client interface. The
system can also query corresponding counters from the database to calculate the
history value of a KPI. It displays the calculation result of the history KPI value, which
reflects the variation of the KPI during a period.
l Generation of KPI Report

The system provides several report templates based on KPI formulas for generating
KPI reports. You can know the running status of the network by checking the value
variation of KPIs in busy hours from the KPI reports generated based on these
templates, which reflect the running status of the network.

4-6

Figure 4-4 Create Index Dialog Box (Preset QoS Tab)
Table 4-2 describes the parameters on the Preset QoS tab.
Table 4-2 Parameters on the Preset QoS Tab
Parameter Description
Up The "Up" direction means that an alarm occurs when the index value
is higher than the preset threshold. For a "Up" type alarm threshold,
the higher the threshold is, the higher severity level of the generated
alarm will be.
When the measured value reaches or exceeds a threshold for the first
time (compared with the previous value), the system raises a threshold
crossing alarm. When the measured value is lower than a threshold or
multiple thresholds (compared with the previous value), the system
removes the threshold crossing alarm. Therefore, the threshold of "Up"
type decreases with the descending of alarm severity.
When the direction is "Up", critical alarm threshold > major alarm
threshold > minor alarm threshold > warning threshold.
Down The "Down" direction means that an alarm occurs when the index value
is lower than the preset threshold. For a "Down" type alarm threshold,
the lower the threshold is, the higher severity level of the generated
alarm will be.
When the measured value is equal to or lower than a threshold for the
first time, the system raises a threshold crossing alarm. When the
measured value becomes higher than the threshold (compared with
the previous value), the system removes the threshold crossing alarm.
Therefore, the threshold of "Down" type increases with the descending
of alarm severity.
4-7

When the direction is "Down", critical alarm threshold < major alarm
threshold < minor alarm threshold < warning threshold.
Up and Down The "Up and Down" direction means that the index follows the alarm
threshold rules in both “Up” and “Down” directions. For example, the
environment temperature and the rotate speed of fans must be within
a proper range, which cannot be too high or too low. Therefore, the
thresholds in both the “Up” direction and the “Down” direction need to
be set.
Critical/ When the direction is "Up", set the thresholds based on the following
Major/ constraints:
Minor/ l Warning alarm threshold < Minor alarm threshold - Delta
Warning l Minor alarm threshold < Major alarm threshold - Delta
l Major alarm threshold < Critical alarm threshold - Delta
When the direction is "Down", set the thresholds based on the following
constraints:
l Warning alarm threshold > Minor alarm threshold + Delta
l Minor alarm threshold > Major alarm threshold + Delta
l Major alarm threshold > Critical alarm threshold + Delta
Delta A performance threshold consists of a threshold value and a delta (that

is, a hysteresis value). The purpose of a delta is to avoid frequent
switching between alarm generation and disappearing. A performance
threshold with a delta actually provides two thresholds: a higher
threshold and a lower threshold.
For example, suppose the threshold for critical alarm is 30% and
corresponding delta is 2%. Then the higher threshold for critical alarm
of the performance index is 32%; while the lower threshold is 28%. If
the delta of a threshold is 0, we can consider that the higher threshold
and the lower threshold are equal.
7. Click OK.
Result
The system judges the validity of the index formula.
l If the index formula is invalid, a message will pop up to prompt the error.
l If the index formula is valid, the system prompts the successful creation of the index
and allocates a unique ID to the index. The new index appears in corresponding index
list.

5.1 Introduction to Threshold Task Management

A threshold task is used for the NetNumen U31 system to monitor the measured data
during a preset period and calculate the values of specific Performance Objects (POs).
If the calculation result of a PO exceeds the preset threshold range, the system raises a
threshold crossing alarm and reports it to the fault management module for display.
To open the Threshold Task Management tab in the client window, select Performance
> Threshold Task Management on the menu bar.
Figure 5-1 shows the open Threshold Task Management tab on the performance
management view.

6-5

Figure 6-5 TOPN Filter/Render Dialog Box
In the TOPN Filter/Render dialog box, you can set the TopN-based filtering and
rendering rules for each index or counter as needed. The system will filter and render
the query result according to the rules.
15. In the TOPN Filter/Render dialog box, select the filter type: No group, Group by
time, or Group by location.
The following describes the optional three filter types with an example.
Suppose a network has 10 microwave transmission equipment. The query result of
a performance index or counter at the granularity of one hour during a whole day (24
hours) may involve 240 records (10*24). If you want to filter the records of the index or
counter according to Top 5 maximum values, the system returns different query results
when different filter types are selected.
l If No group is selected, the system queries the performance data and only
displays the Top 5 maximum values in the query result. If several values are
tied for one of the Top 5 places, the system only selects and displays the first
collected one. The No group filter type is generally used for analyzing the
maximum or minimum values of all performance data.
l If Group by time is selected, the system queries the performance data and
displays the Top 5 maximum values in the query result of each hour, that is,
returns 120 (5*24) records. The Group by time filter type is generally used for
analyzing the best or worst object (for example, the best cell or worst cell) at
specific time point during a period.
l If Group by location is selected, the system queries the performance data and
displays the Top 5 maximum values of each object during 24 hours, that is,
returns 50 (5*10) records. The Group by location filter type is generally used
6-6

for analyzing the performance of each object at the best time or worst time during
a period.
16. In the TOPN Filter/Render dialog box, set the filtering condition for an index or counter
as follows:
a. On the Filter Operator column, click the cell corresponding to the index or
counter you want to set, and then select an operator (Top Max or Top Min) from
the drop-down list box.
b. On the Filter Value column, select a value from corresponding drop-down list box.
17. In the TOPN Filter/Render dialog box, you can set the rendering rule for an index or
counter following the instructions in Step 12.
18. After setting the TopN-based filtering and rendering rules for the indexes and counters
you want to set, click OK in the TOPN Filter/Render dialog box to return to the Create
Template dialog box.
19. Click OK.
Result
The created common template appears in the template list on the Common Template tab,
which can be used to create a template task for performance data query.

Template Task
Either query template or common template can be used to schedule a performance data
query task, that is, a template task. The system can automatically start performance data
query according to the settings in the template task and save the query result on the server.
You can check the execution result of a template task to get the performance data you
want. By using the template task, it is unnecessary to set query conditions one by one
because the query template or common template in the template task already specifies
the query conditions, including the query granularity, NE location, and the MO location.
To open the Template Task tab in the client window, do one of the following:
l Choose Performance > Template Task on the menu bar.
l Choose Query&Statistics > Performance Stat > Template Task on the menu bar.

9.6 Querying Performance Data in Real Time

Abstract
You can query performance data in near-real time due to the feature that the system can
collect performance data at the granularity of 10 seconds, 30 seconds, and 1 minute.
When the collection granularity is 10 seconds, the query result can be regarded as almost
real-time. Note that this function can only be used to query a small amount of performance
data at a time, for example, the values of at most 60 counters.
The performance data query methods (the minimum granularity is 15 minutes) described
in previous sections can be used to query performance data from more counters although
the performance delay is relatively long.
Note:
Not all counters and indexes support the real-time query. When you set the query
conditions, the system only lists the supported counters and indexes for selection.

11.1 Introduction to Performance Data Integrity Report

The integrity of collected performance data is the base that ensures the accurate query,
statistics, analysis and report of performance data.
The NetNumen U31 system collects performance data according to the conditions
set in measurement tasks and stores the collected performance data in its database
when the managed NEs and the NetNumen U31 server are running properly and the
communication between them is normal. When the connection between an NE and the
server is interrupted, NetNumen U31 cannot collect the performance data of the NE,
which impairs the integrity of performance data.
NetNumen U31 provides the function of performance data integrity report. By using this
function, you can check the integrity of performance data of each measurement type stored
in the database and find the period(s) during the required performance data is absent.
If some performance data is found absent in the database, you can initiate a re-collection
process to collect the performance data and store the collected data in the database.
The procedure is as follows:
1. Create a measurement task for collecting performance data.

2. Check the integrity of collected performance data
3. If some performance data is missing, find the cause ruining the performance data
integrity.
4. Re-collect the missing performance data.
5. Verify the integrity of performance data.
When doing data integrity query, at most 10 performance objects can be selected in the
object list, at most 100 NE locations can be selected in the NE location list and at most
200 measurement objects can be selected in the measurement object list.
