Overview

Netcool/Proviso Technology Packs are individually installed modules that contain discovery, grouping,
collection, and reporting instructions created by Technology Pack developers or Professional Services personnel
for a specific network technology or network equipment provider, such as Adva Optical Metro Ethernet.

Once installed, a Technology 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 Technology 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 Technology 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 Technology Pack has been installed, an inventory process must be run so that the
Technology 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, a Technology 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 a

Netcool/Proviso Adva Optical Metro Ethernet 2.1.1.0 Technology Pack User’s Guide, Version 4.3-X 1

Chapter 1: Introduction

Technology 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, a Technology 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 a
Technology Pack’s target network resources. A Technology 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, a Technology 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, a Technology 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 a Technology 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.

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
Technology Pack.

Netcool/Proviso Adva Optical Metro Ethernet 2.1.1.0 Technology Pack User’s Guide, Version 4.3-X 3

Chapter 1: Introduction

A Technology 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.

A Technology 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 Technology 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.

Overview

The Adva Optical Metro Ethernet Technology Pack supplies a set of reports suitable for displaying information
about the devices and activity associated with the Adva Optical Metro Ethernet environment.

Reports contain metrics that are generated by the formulas that this technology 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 Technology Pack User’s
Guide assumes an understanding of the report-related topics discussed in the Netcool/Proviso DataView User’s
Guide.

Report Reference

The following pages provide a reference of the reports that this technology pack provides. The reference pages
have the following sections:

• Description. Describes the purpose and content of the report.

• Reporter Set. The reporter set that the report belongs to.

• Tables and Charts. The types of tables and charts in this report. For each listed table or chart type, this

can use the DataMart Resource Editor to deploy it.

• Drills Down To. One or more reports that can be accessed by drilling down from a table or chart in the

report.

• Drilled Down From. One or more reports from which you can drill down to reach the report.

Reporter Sets

A reporter set contains a group of reporters that together provide information about a specific technology or a
vendor device. Technology pack developers use the Reporter Set Wizard to choose the type of template upon
which to base the reporter set.

Specifically, the Adva Optical Metro Ethernet Technology Pack uses reporter sets as the framework for defining
the reports that display in meaningful ways on a WWW portal the collected information about the devices and
technologies that operate in the Adva Optical Metro Ethernet environment.

See the Netcool/Proviso DataView User’s Guide for more information about reporter sets and the Reporter Set
Wizard.

Overview

This chapter provides a summary of the Adva Optical Metro Ethernet device technology and the associated
Management Information Bases (MIBs), which the Adva Optical Metro Ethernet Technology Pack is designed
to support.

Note: The Adva Optical Metro Ethernet Technology Pack operates with Adva Optical Metro Ethernet devices

running Version 3.4.1 of the operating system.

Summary of Device Technology

Metro Ethernet Services using Ethernet technology deliver cost-effective, high-speed connectivity for
metropolitan-area network (MAN) and wide-area network (WAN) applications. This simple, easy-to-use
technology appeals to customers who are already using Ethernet throughout their local-area networks (LANs).
Metro Ethernet Services provide scalable bandwidth in flexible increments with simplified management and
faster, lower-cost provisioning.

The Adva Optical Metro Ethernet Technology Pack is designed to work with the Adva Optical Metro Ethernet
by reporting on the following categories of metrics:

•LAN Port

•WAN Port

•ESA Probes

Note: It is impractical and beyond the scope of this Technology Pack User’s Guide to provide exhaustive

descriptions and explanations of the Adva Optical Metro Ethernet technology. See the documentation that ships
with the previously listed devices and associated services for detailed information on the devices’ and services’
capabilities and features.

Overview

A Netcool/Proviso property is an attribute or characteristic of an element or sub-element. Typically, a
Netcool/Proviso Technology Pack uses an inventory process to collect information generated by the devices,
interfaces, and services operating in the technology environment it supports.

A technology 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.

Adva Optical Metro Ethernet Device Element Properties

The Adva Optical Metro Ethernet Technology Pack defines the following properties for the elements it creates:

Element Property Description

ipAddress

ipName The IP name of the network device to which the SNMP Agent element maps. The

physAddress The physical address of the network device to which the SNMP Agent element maps.

The IP address of the network device on which the SNMP Agent is running.

ipName property might have the same value as the ipAddress property.

For example,

6.8.0.32.192.84.250.
