Top Loaded Nodes report

Top Loaded Nodes report overview

The Top Loaded Nodes report shows the top loaded NEs sorted by order of load. You can select a value of ‘N’ meaning top N loaded NEs. By default, N is set to 5. If N is not selected, then all NEs are included. The Top Loaded Nodes report can be generated based on Radio or Ethernet port utilization percentage.

The heat map is colored according to the maximum and minimum values for the number of NEs that appear in each section of the chart.

Click each block on the heat map report to get the individual NE port utilization report. See Figure 15-37, Top Loaded Nodes Report—Utilization Details for the utilization report.

Note: We see utilization details with data upon clicking the empty box of the heat map with one minute interval. This happens when we see PM collection with one min interval and the time stamp is with less than 1 min duration.

Use cases

Capacity planning—Use the report to examine the top loaded NEs based on the radio or Ethernet traffic in a network and to plan for capacity requirements.

Prerequisites

The following table describes the aggregation rules that must be enabled and the accounting policies that must be configured for the NEs on which statistics are to be collected; see the NSP NFM-P Statistics Management Guide for information about configuring an accounting policy. To view the report for granularities other than raw data, the aggregation rules must be enabled; see How do I configure analytics aggregation?.

Characteristic	Value
Data type	Statistics
NE types supported	Wavence MSS-1, Wavence MSS-4, Wavence MSS-8, Wavence MSS-O, Wavence MSS-E, Wavence MSS-HE, Wavence MSS-XE, Wavence MSS-1c, Wavence SA, Wavence UBT-SA, Wavence UBT-I, Wavence UBT-T XP, 9500 MPR-A Chassis 1, 9500 MPR-A Chassis 4, 9500 MPR-A Chassis 8, 9500 MPR-E Chassis 1, 9500 MPR-E Chassis 4, 9500 MPR-E Chassis 8, 9500 MSS-1c, 9500 MSS-O ANSI, 9500 MSS-O ETSI, 9500 SA
Report inputs	Prompt	Notes
	End date	Calendar date or relative date (for example, two days ago) and time
	Granularity	Aggregation types: None (raw data) Hourly Daily Monthly
	Report Range	Length of time to be reported, in hours or days
	Top ‘N’ Nodes	Specify the value (1, 2, etc.) or leave blank to get all the NE details in the report. Default: N=5
	Port Type	Select Radio or Ethernet.
	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.
	Apply	Applies all the parameters and prepares the report based on the parameters entered.
	Reset	Resets all the parameters to default value.
Drill-down support	No

Example

The following figures show a report example.

The below heatmap is displayed for all the NEs in the network based on the radio port utilization percentage.

Click each block to get the individual NE port utilization report.

Figure 15-35: Top Loaded Nodes Report—Radio Traffic

The below heatmap is displayed for top five NEs in the network based on the Ethernet port utilization percentage.

Clicking on each block will take the user to the individual NE port utilization report which is shown in the next figure.
