Abstract
A VNF information obtaining method and apparatus are provided. Detailed VNF running information can be obtained, so as to provide more comprehensive and more accurate data for determining a fault cause. The method includes instantiating, by a NFVO, a VNFM based on a software package of the VNFM to establish a communication connection between the VNFM and the NFVO; and receiving, by the NFVO during monitoring, monitoring information that is sent from the VNFM after the VNFM summarizes and analyzes monitoring data of a VNF in a NS.

A virtualized network function (VNF) information obtaining method, comprising:
- instantiating, by a network functions virtualization orchestrator (NFVO), a virtualized network function manager (VNFM) based on a software package of the VNFM to establish a communication connection between the VNFM and the NFVO;
- receiving, by the NFVO during monitoring, monitoring information that is sent from the VNFM after the VNFM summarizes and analyzes monitoring data of a VNF in a network service (NS), and
- initiating, by the NFVO, a monitoring instantiation request to the VNFM, wherein the monitoring instantiation request is for instantiating a first monitoring and a second monitoring based on a description file and for establishing communication connections between the first and the second monitoring and the VNFM.
A virtualized network function (VNF) information obtaining apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor, a network interface, and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for execution by the at least one processor, the program when executed causes the at least one processor to implement operations including:
- instantiating a virtualized network function manager (VNFM) based on a software package of the VNFM to establish a communication connection between the VNFM and the VNF information obtaining apparatus;
- receiving, during monitoring, monitoring information that is sent from the VNFM after the VNFM summarizes and analyzes monitoring data of a VNF in a network service (NS), and
- initiating a monitoring instantiation request to the VNFM, wherein the monitoring instantiation request is for instantiating a first monitoring and a second monitoring based on a description file and for establishing communication connections between the first and the second monitoring and the VNFM.
A virtualized network function (VNF) information obtaining apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor, a network interface, and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for execution by the at least one processor, the program when executed causes the at least one processor to implement operations including:
- establishing a communications connection to a network functions virtualization orchestrator (NFVO) when the VNF information obtaining apparatus is instantiated by the NFVO;
- receiving monitoring data of a VNF;
- summarizing and analyzing the received monitoring data to obtain monitoring information of the VNF;
- and
- instantiating a first monitoring and a second monitoring based on a description file of the first and the second monitoring to establish communication connections between the first and the second monitoring and the VNFM.
