Tracing and exposing data used for generating analytics

A second network entity for examining analytics generation of a mobile network, the second network entity comprising processing circuitry configured to:

• provide a request for analytics information associated with at least one generated analytics output to a first network entity for analytics generation;
• and
• receive the analytics information from the first network entity, wherein the analytics information comprises data information used to derive one or more insights in the at least one generated analytics output, wherein the data information comprises reference to data used to derive the one or more insights in the one or more analytics,
• wherein the reference to data used to derive the one or more insights in the one or more analytics outputs comprises at least one of:
• a pointer to the data;
• a link to the data;
• or
• a timestamp indicating the time of data reception.

A method for analytics generation of a mobile network, the method comprising:

• receiving a request for providing analytics information associated with at least one generated analytics output;
• and
• providing the analytics information, wherein the analytics information comprises data information used to derive one or more insights in the at least one generated analytics output, wherein the data information comprises reference to data used to derive the one or more insights in the one or more analytics,
• wherein the analytics information further comprises identification information for identifying the data information, and
• wherein the reference to data used to derive the one or more insights in the one or more analytics outputs comprises at least one of:
• a pointer to the data;
• a link to the data;
• or
• a timestamp indicating the time of data reception.
