Node Availability Details report

Node Availability Details report overview

The Node Availability Details report shows availability information for NEs.

Use cases

Service level agreement—Use the report to validate that NE availability meets agreed targets.

Troubleshooting—Use the report to determine if an NE is currently, or has previously, been unavailable.

Prerequisites

To create the Node Availability Details report, NE availability must be determined. An availability framework computes periodic outage time and outage counts from state change records contained in the auxiliary database data dictionary. These periodic values are aggregated to determine the availability of an NE over a period of time. A periodic table tracks the activity state and availability of an NE. The availability framework supports the creation of an availability table that aggregates the data in the periodic table based on the periodic synchronization time configured on the system. The object synchronization interval for tables registered for periodic calculation can be configured to run every 15 min (separate from the regular object synchronization task) by configuring analyticsMODictPeriodicSyncTime in the nms-server.xml file.

Populate the maintenance window table in the auxiliary database with details of NE and Service maintenance; see Analytics maintenance window table. The report will run if the table is not created or empty; however, maintenance windows are treated as down time when availability is calculated.

How do I synchronize the Analytics data dictionary table data with the NFM-P?

Log in as the root user on the main server station.
Navigate to the /opt/nsp/nfmp/server/nms/config directory.
Create a backup copy of the nms-server.xml file.
Open the nms-server.xml file using a plain-text editor.

Note: Service-disruption hazard

Contact your technical support representative before you attempt to modify the nms-server.xml file. Modifying the nms-server.xml file can have serious consequences that can include service disruption.
Add the following tag inside the <samauxdb> </samauxdb> tag:

<samauxdb analyticsMODictPeriodicSyncTime="15">

For example:

<samauxdb

AAkeysafe=”0”

analyticsMODictPeriodicSyncTime=”15”

enabled=”true”

ipaddress=”198.51.100.0”

oamTestResultEnabled=”true”

sysKeysafe=”0” />
Save and close the nms-server.xml file.
Open a console window.
Navigate to the /opt/nsp/nfmp/server/nms/bin directory.
If the main server is a standalone server, or the primary server is in a redundant deployment, enter the following:

bash$ ./nmsserver.bash read_config ↵

The main server reads the nms-server.xml file and puts the configuration change into effect.

End of steps

Report characteristics

The following table lists the principal report characteristics.

Table 11-1: Node Availability Details report characteristics

Characteristic	Value
Data type	Availability tables computed by availability framework
Source database	Auxiliary database
Report inputs	Prompt	Notes
	End date	Calendar date or relative date (for example, two days ago) and time
	Report range	Length of time to be reported, in hours or days
	Granularity	Aggregation types: None (raw data) Hourly Daily Weekly Monthly
	Region
	Subregion	Only subregions below the top-level region are displayed in the prompt. Objects in the lower subregions are automatically selected when their subregion is selected.
	KPI	Max Availability Min Availability Avg Availability (for all granularities except for raw granularity) Availability (for raw granularity)
	NE	Search using partial names or wildcard (%). Select individual items or click Select All.
	Uptime Threshold (%)	Identify the threshold percentage
	Logo Resource ID	The logo to add to the report. Enter the Resource ID of the logo image in the Images folder. The default is the Nokia logo. To create the report without a logo, leave the Logo Resource ID field blank.
	Logo Position	Choose Left, Middle, or Right. The logo appears on the left on the first page of the report if you choose Left or Middle.
	Show report output on one page	Select the check box to enable pagination. Note: Using the Show report output on one page option when creating reports as drill-downs may impact report rendering time. Nokia recommends disabling the Show report output on one page option when creating reports.
Drill-down support	No
