[NSPF-442849] NFM-P Availability Framework enhancements

Release introduced: 24.11

In previous releases availability monitoring was enabled or disabled for all managed object classes involved in supporting Availability reports in NSP Analytics. This release introduces the flexibility to enable/disable the availability monitoring of selected availability managed object classes. This can reduce system resource usage and align it better with customer reporting needs.

It is possible for the synchronization of the Analytics data dictionary table data with the NFM-P for periodic availability monitoring to fall behind and not complete in the configured interval of time. In this release synchronization of data for the next interval will not start unless the previous synchronization cycle has completed. This avoids potentially exacerbating a loaded system condition at the risk of suspect intervals for some availability data (which is logged).

[NSPF-429072] NFM-P Availability Framework profile

Release introduced: 24.8

This release provides detailed deployment guidelines for the Availability Framework when used with NSP Analytics reports, e.g. Comprehensive reports. Additional instrumentation is provided to monitor the framework and to alert of overload conditions. The rate of availability KPI processing is expanded as documented in the Analytics Report Catalog.

[NSPF-205637] Analytics server containerization

Release introduced: 24.4

In Release 24.4, the NSP analytics server functions and data are transferred to the NSP Kubernetes cluster. The RPM-based analytics servers deployed outside the cluster are no longer required or supported.

The move to the NSP cluster reduces the number of required VMs in a deployment, and eliminates the need for discrete analytics installation and upgrade procedures.

The analytics migration to the NSP cluster is a simple and straightforward operation that requires minimal user interaction.
