Abstract
A system includes a first network edge data collector, a first network edge key performance indicator (KPI) engine configured to operate on first data collected by the first network edge data collector, a KPI metrics manager in communication with the first network edge KPI engine, the KPI metrics manager controlling a KPI metric catalog and wherein the first network edge KPI engine determines first edge KPI metric using a metric algorithm from the KPI metric catalog on the first data.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a processing system including a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- collecting first data utilizing a first network edge collector;
- operating on the first data by a first network edge key performance indicator (KPI) engine;
- initiating communication between the first network edge KPI engine and a KPI metrics manager, wherein the KPI metrics manager controls a KPI metric catalog;
- providing a location of the first network edge KPI engine to the KPI metrics manager;
- obtaining a metric algorithm from the KPI metric catalog from the KPI metrics manager, wherein the KPI metrics manager selects the metric algorithm based on the location of the first network edge KPI engine;
- determining a first edge KPI metric using the metric algorithm from the KPI metric catalog on the first data;
- and
- providing the first edge KPI metric to the KPI metrics manager.
