Performance Management Operation Flow ................................................................1-3
Performance Management Window............................................................................1-4
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.
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.
1-1
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
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.
Flow Description
The following operations can be performed after the NetNumen U31 system is started.

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
Parameter Description
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

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.
