US 11,777,828 B2 · Self-definable counter-based filtering method and device, and computer readable storage medium

Abstract

A customizable filtering method for a counter, apparatus, and a computer storage medium are disclosed. The method may include: configuring a first filter condition according to a filter parameter table, at least one category of first filter parameters being configured in the first filter condition (S101); converting the first filter parameters into second filter parameters by means of category uniformization (S102); analyzing a second filter condition according to the filter parameter table, converting the second filter condition into a first data structure that facilitates local filter processing and saving the first data structure (S103); collecting performance data, the performance data comprising filter indication information (S104); processing the filter indication information according to the filter parameter table, and storing the filter indication information in a second data structure (S105); and performing filter processing on the filter indication information stored in the second data structure, and recording the filter result (S106).

A customizable filtering method for a counter, comprising:

configuring a first filter condition according to a loaded filter parameter table, wherein the first filter condition is configured with at least one type of first filter parameters;
converting the first filter parameter into a second filter parameter through type unification, and correspondingly, converting the first filter condition into a second filter condition;
analyzing, according to the filter parameter table, the second filter parameter configured in the second filter condition, and converting and storing the second filter parameter as a first data structure that is easy to filter locally;
collecting performance data, wherein the performance data comprises basic performance information and filter indication information;
processing the filter indication information according to the filter parameter table, and storing the filter indication information into a second data structure;
and
performing filtering, according to the first data structure, on the filter indication information stored in the second data structure, and recording a filtering result;
wherein when the filter condition combination comprises at least two sub-filter conditions, configuring a first filter condition according to a loaded filter parameter table further comprises:
configuring a first filter condition according to logical operations between the sub-filter conditions and a processing order of the sub-filter conditions, wherein the logical operations between the sub-filter conditions comprise an OR operation;
wherein performing filtering, according to the first data structure, on the filter indication information stored in the second data structure comprises:
performing filtering on the filter parameters in the filter indication information according to the processing order;
in response to the filter parameters meeting a current sub-filter condition and the operations between the current sub-filter condition and other sub-filter conditions are OR operation, determining that the filter parameters meet the first filter condition, and terminating the operations;
and
in response to the filter parameters meeting the current sub-filter condition and other sub-filter condition which connect the current sub-filter condition with an AND operation, determining that the filter parameters meet the first filter condition, and terminating the operations.

The contents of these applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

#Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to, but are not limited to, the field of communications technologies, and in particular relate to, but are not limited to, a customizable filtering method and apparatus for a counter, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium.

#Performance data collection is a basic function of a modern communications system. In the communications system, collected performance data is usually presented to users through counters. Traditional counters are already provided with conditions when implemented, and the users cannot configure the conditions otherwise by themselves.

#In order to make the objective, technical schemes and advantages of the present disclosure clear to be understood, the implementations of the present disclosure will be further illustrated in detail by means of the embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the embodiments described here are intended only to explain the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

#In order to solve a problem in the existing technology that filter conditions cannot be customized in a counter, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a customizable filtering method for a counter, which enables the counter to support customized setting of the filter condition. In addition, the number of data types to be filtered is reduced through type unification on filter parameters, and some data structures that are not easy to filter can be easily filtered.
