4.5 KPI Management Agents

Last updated: May 16, 2023 by Former user (Deleted)

The KPI Cluster In and KPI Cluster Out agents are real-time processing agents that deliver KPIs based on the configured service model and the incoming KDR UDRs.

The KPI Cluster In agent sends incoming KDR UDRs to a Spark application via a Kafka cluster. The actual KPI calculations are then performed in the Spark Application and the result is passed to a KPI Cluster Out agent, which decodes the bytearray payload from Kafka and delivers KPIAggregatedOutput UDRs. 


KPI Management workflows


When the service model is configured to trigger immediate alarms you must configure two separate Kafka Collector agents, one for the kpi-output topic, and another for the kpi-alarm topic.
