The owner has no objection to the facsimile reproduction by anyone of the patent document or the patent disclosure, as it appears in the Patent and Trademark Office patent files or records, but otherwise reserves all rights whatsoever. All rights to such intellectual property are fully reserved by the owner.FIELD OF INVENTION

[0002] The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for creating nested dashboards using nested templates for analysing complex performance measurements. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a system and a method for integrated performance management using machine learning (ML) and the nested templates.DEFINITIONS

[0003] Distributed File System" refers to a network file system that spans multiple servers or nodes, providing scalable and fault-tolerant storage for error code data and other related information.

[0004] "Distributed Data Lake” refers to a scalable storage solution designed to store and manage large volumes of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data, including processed and analyzed error code data. Structured data is data that has a standardized format for efficient access by software and humans alike. It is typically tabular with rows and columns that clearly define data attributes. Unstructured simply means that it is datasets (typical large collections of files) that aren't stored in a structured database format. Unstructured data has an internal structure, but it's not predefined through data models. It might be humangenerated, or machine generated in a textual or a non-textual format. Semistructured data is data that does not conform to a data model but has some structure. It lacks a fixed or rigid schema.

[0005] “Load Balancer” is a component that distributes incoming user requests across multiple instances of the system to ensure optimal performance and scalability.

[0006] “Template” is a pre-created document that already has some formatting. Rather than starting from scratch to format a document, you can use the formatting of a template to save yourself a lot of time.

[0007] A “nested template” is just basically one template within another. The advantage of a nested template is that you can go ahead and deploy resources across resource groups.

[0008] “Computation Layer” is responsible for performing data filtering and geography-based network functions failure data computation. It retrieves raw error code data, applies filtering and aggregation operations based on user requests, and computes relevant metrics and insights.

[0009] “Integrated performance manager” (IPM) works on a holistic approach to corporate performance management based on the integration of multiple factors and long-term value creation into decision-making to drive strategic success.

[0010] A “nested dashboard” is a dashboard canvas that is embedded inside another dashboard canvas. This embedded dashboard can contain multiple visualizations and widgets just like any other dashboard canvas. There can bet two additional levels (child dashboards) of dashboard at opt level (parent dashboard), for a total of three levels of nesting. The main dashboard canvas can have a first level nested dashboard, which can have a second level nested dashboard, which can then have a third level nested dashboard.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0011] The following description of the related art is intended to providebackground information pertaining to the field of the disclosure. This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section is used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and not as admission of the prior art.

[0012] Complex performance analysing metrics may require multiple dashboards for presenting comprehensive data to users. Various dashboards may- pro vide specific metrics or key performance indicators (KPIs) where specific pieces of information may be continually monitored. However, conventional systems involve manual creation and periodical execution of templates, which may be inefficient and take a lot of processing time.

[0013] In conventional systems, for analysing the complex performance matrix at deeper level, a user may need to create different dashboards. Even at KPI level which is made of counter, child KPI and attributes, the user may need to check for child KPI or counter for analysing the complex performance matrix, which may be time-consuming.

[0014] There is, therefore, a need in the art to provide a system and a method that can mitigate the problems associated with the prior arts.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0069] Although FIG. 2 shows exemplary components of the system (108),in other embodiments, the system (108) may include fewer components, different components, differently arranged components, or additional functional components than depicted in FIG. 2. Additionally, or alternatively, one or more components of the system (108) may perform functions described as being performed by one or more other components of the system (108).

[0070] FIG. 3 illustrates an example flow diagram (300) for generating a key performance indicator (KPI) report / service level report / alarm / counters report through a distributed file system, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0071] As illustrated in FIG. 3, the flow diagram (300) may include a detailed procedure for generating various reports.

[0072] In an embodiment, a user may create a template and makes a report on a graphical user interface (GUI) (302). The user may send a request to create and store a report to a load balancer (ELB) OR (LB) (304) via the GUI (302) at step 316. The ELB (304) may send the request to create and store the report to an integrated performance manager (IPM) (306) at step 318. At step 320, the IPM converts the request as per JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). After the conversion, the IPM (306) may send a request validation successful message to the LB (304) at step 324. Further, the LB (304) may send the request validation successful message to the GUI (302). At step 322, it is determined whether the request was successful based on the Request validation Successful received from IPM. The IPM (306) may fetch data from a distributed data lake (312) for report creation at step 330. The IPM may create a report and store the report in a distributed file system (DFS) (314) at step 332.

[0073] The IPM (306) may send parameters to an AI / ML model (308) at step 336 that may be trained using the data and request insights from the IPM (306). Further, the AI / ML model (308) may send the data and insights to the IPM at step 348, while the IPM may send a request successful message to the LB (304) at 338. The LB may further send the request successful message to the GUI (302) at step340 to generate a JSON response at 342. The IPM may fetch data from a computation layer (CL) (310) at step 352 for report creation at step 354. Based on a failed request (350), the IPM (306) may generate a report and send a request failed message to the LB (304) at step 356 which is further provided to GUI at step 358. A first child dashboard may be computed, and the child dashboard output may be provided as an input for a parent dashboard. For example, in a waterfall dashboard busy hour of the child dashboard may be taken as an input for the parent dashboard. The parent dashboard may compute only at a busy hour of a child KPI. Both outputs of child and parent dashboards may be populated at the GUL Upon computation, the CL may send the output to the IPM to save the report.

[0074] Further, in an embodiment, the LB (304) may send the request failed message to the GUI (302) at step 364. Additionally, based on a failed validation (360), the IPM (306) may send a validation failed message to the LB (304) at step 362, while the LB may send the validation failed message to the GUI (302) at 364. Further, the user (102) may view the report right away and may also view them at regular intervals based on customized schedule.

[0075] The created report template may be used in different flow seamlessly such as on Demand execution, report scheduling, live monitoring, etc.

[0076] FIG. 4 illustrates an example block diagram (400) of a system architecture for analyzing complex performance metrics, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
