Determining application data and/or analytics

An apparatus for application data analytics in a wireless communication network, the apparatus comprising:

• at least one memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the apparatus to:
• receive a first request from an external application for providing end-to-end application related performance analytics for at least one application;
• associate an application data analytics event with a combination of a plurality of data collection events and a plurality of network data analytics events based on the first request for end-to-end application related performance analytics;
• obtain a first set of data from a plurality of data producing entities, data analytics producing entities, or a combination thereof based on the application data analytics event;
• configure a second set of data based on the first set of data, wherein the second set of data comprises at least a portion of the first set of data, an abstraction of the first set of data, or a combination thereof based on the application data analytics event;
• derive application data analytics corresponding to the application data analytics event based on the second set of data, wherein the application data analytics are derived at an edge platform, a cloud platform, a radio access network (RAN) intelligent controller, or a combination thereof;
• and
• transmit the derived application data analytics to the external application, the external application comprising a vertical application, an application function, an application server, a network function, or a combination thereof, based on the application data analytics event.
