the kyndryl private cellular service comprises 15 dashboards that provide performance and failure management data from private cell apis such as nokia digital automation cloud, helping users understand network health and issues technical prerequisites nokia dac is deployed and accessible data streaming service and synapps setup with a topic private cellular dashboard filtering the dashboard comprises the following elements global filter select from a dropdown list of filtering options accompanied by operators and parameters range filter\ select from a range of time spans bounded by today and last year (the last 12 months) the global filter enables you to narrow the observable data set on the network performance monitoring page, limiting it to only data to your circumstance the filter is located directly below header indicating the selected tab for the dashboard segment, for example inventory overview (monitoring inventory) the filter comprises two buttons filter control (grounding icon) add filter add a filter element apply to all\ apply the filter to the data set clear all clear all applied filters, restoring the defalut data set of all data add filter (plus icon) add a filter element filter time range use the following procedure to filter the time range for the current data set by time range and other parameters select a time range the default time range is last 7 days if no changes have occurred in the default or selected date range, data visualizations will not populate examples of such changes include new nodes, new interfaces, and events to change the current date range, use the following procedure click the calendar icon the service displays the quick select dialog, presenting a range field that you can manually set and a list of preselected options from the units field dropdown menu, which defaults to 7 days ago , select the unit, days , weeks , months , years set the quantity by entering, incrementing, or decrementing the unit quantity for example, select months , then decrement 7 to 6 to change the value from 7 days ago to last 6 months click update the service updates the data for the selected date range the default time range, 7 days ago , applies initially to all six dashboards; adjust each as needed click the plus icon the service presents the filter editor select a field from the select a field dropdown menu you can select from any supported field in the network device or operating system record select an operator from select operator field is equal to is not not equal to is one of some fields might have more than one value this operator specifies a specific value in such a field is not one of some fields might have more than one value this operator specifies that none of the values exist in such a field exists any device or operating system description that contains the specified field does not exist any device or operating system description that does not contain the specified field select a value from the select a value field optional add a an additional parameter by selecting boolean or or boolean and repeat steps 2 through 4 optional repeat step 5 click cancel to cancel the filter addition or add filter to add the filter you constructed you may add additional filters as required to adequately narrow your data set you can also edit a constructed filter as a domain specific language query by clicking the edit as query dsl link located at the far right of the add filter editor in addition to data visualizations, the page provides a quick filter to enable the narrowing of data without complex queries data is tagged that represents useful parameters such as customer name and network group an array of tag filters is located below the global filter, each of which includes a dropdown menu filtering using tag filter use the following procedure to filter current data using the tag filters click the dropdown menu from the tag field select the desired parameter value the data is immediately updated alarms dashboard the alarms dashboard is a view of reactive monitoring for events that might require action (active) or that can be cleared when no action is required in this dashboard, you can get an overview of alarms by severity and location, the top events triggering the most alarms, and the types of devices triggering them in this view, you can also see the days and times when the alarms are typically triggered so that preventive actions can be planned cell performance dashboard the cell performance dashboard provides an overview of key performance metrics for cell devices, including ranks and availability ratios it identifies poor performing cells by location and features a daily performance heat map key performance indicators (kpis) include ranking, availability, retainability, mobility, accessibility, and integrity/quality performance is categorized as below average (0–2), average (2–3), good (3–4), or excellent (4–5) this kpi assesses service availability in cells for end users, focusing on rrc connection establishment initial e rab setup for network access data radio bearer setup via rrc connection reconfiguration e rab setup between mme and ue it also tracks the following \ abnormally released e rabs ratio uplink/downlink retransmission ratios for rlc pdus lost pdcp sdus ratio handover success ratios (intra enb and inter enb) ra preamble responses ratio to total ra preambles executive view dashboard the executive view dashboard offers a comprehensive overview of the key devices in the private cell network, including edges, access points, and cells it displays existing alarms categorized by device type and location, along with essential indicators of connectivity, availability, and throughput for both uplink and downlink additionally, the dashboard highlights trends in these metrics and provides a summary of performance rankings and trends by location cell availability kpis dashboard the cell availability kpis dashboard focuses on indicators related to cell availability in addition to overall availability, it provides insights into availability by user state, time series line charts for key availability metrics, a view of down devices over time, and a summary table for reporting edge performance dashboard the edge performance dashboard provides a comprehensive overview of edges, including their locations, total device count, and key metrics such as cpu, disk, and ram usage, as well as disk temperatures you can view the top utilizations and analyze a time series that displays their behavior over several days additionally, you have the option to download a csv file containing a summary of all the data accessibility insights accessibility insights offers a range of accessibility indicators, including success ratios for rach setup, rrc connection setup, and e rab setup it also displays the failure counts for rach, rrc, and e rab attempts, along with information about the associated cells the tool highlights the leading causes of rrc and e rab attempt failures and tracks how these issues develop over time additionally, a downloadable table at the bottom of the dashboard provides comprehensive details about all call setup activities the throughput insights dashboard presents various aspects of the average pdcp (packet data convergence protocol) uplink and downlink performance over time, categorized by cell this includes metrics such as the e utran average active users with data in buffer, as well as the uplink and downlink statistics for each cell additionally, a downloadable summary table consolidates all the information the cell load throughput and radio condition kpis dashboard primarily focuses on bandwidth usage by cell and user here are the main key performance indicators (kpis) uplink signal strength compared to total wideband received power, which indicates the quality of the signal either low or high values may suggest that the cell might not be receiving signals from users effectively average rlc layer throughput per cell for both uplink and downlink average pdcp layer throughput per cell for both uplink and downlink pdcp service data unit (sdu) volume on the euu interface per cell for both uplink and downlink mobility kpi dashboard the mobility kpis dashboard evaluates the performance of e ultran mobility, which is fundamental to ensuring a positive customer experience several kpis are based on intra frequency, inter frequency, and inter radio access technology (rat) here are the main kpis
