Description

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATICALLY DETECTING A NEW NETWORK NODE ASSOCIATED WITH A NETWORKTECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to network management systems. More particularly, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method and a system for automatically detecting a new network node associated with a network.BACKGROUND

[0002] The following description of the related art is intended to provide background 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 admissions of the prior art.

[0003] In the field of telecommunication, a network performance management (NPM) is a process of managing, enabling, and ensuring a plurality of performance levels in a network. The NPM performs continuous monitoring of a quality and a performance service level of the network. Additionally, the NPM monitors one or more performance metrics, such as an error rate, a network delay, a packet loss, a packet transmission, and a throughput across the network.

[0004] Further, network performance management systems typically track network elements and data from network monitoring tools and combine and process such data to determine key performance indicators (KPIs) of the network. Integrated performance management systems provide the means to visualize a network performance data so that network operators and other relevant stakeholders are able to identify the service quality of the overall network and individual / grouped network elements. By having an overall as well as detailed view of the network performance, a network operator may detect, diagnose, and remedy actual service issues, as well as predict potential service issues or failures in the network and take precautionary measures accordingly.

[0005] However, several challenges arise during an integration of a new node or new instance into the network. A network administrator faces delays and complexity during the integration of thenew node or new instance in a conventional network architecture. Further, this delay and complexity hinder network management and monitoring processes as the network administration has to wait until the next scheduled configuration cycle to observe the newly added node or instance. Further, the network administrator is required to manually update an existing dashboard. The manual process of updating the existing dashboard is time-consuming and prone to one or more errors, as the manual process involves the selection and configuration of the new node within the existing dashboard. Further, an inability to immediately monitor the new addition may also lead to potential service disruptions. Further, a report generated via a network monitoring tool (such as network performance management systems) needs to be rescheduled or reconfigured whenever there is the integration of the new node in the network, which disrupts regular reporting schedules.

[0006] Hence, there is a need to provide an improved method and system for automatically detecting a new network node associated with a network.SUMMARY

[0044] As discussed in the background section, several challenges arise during the integration of the new node or new instance into the network. Further, as discussed above, the network administrator faces delays and complexity while integrating the new node or new instance in a conventional network architecture. Further, this delay and complexity hinder the network management and monitoring processes, as the network administration has to wait until the next scheduled configuration cycle to observe the newly added node or instance. Further, the network administrator is required to manually update an existing dashboard. The manual process of updating the existing dashboard is time-consuming and prone to one or more errors, as the manual process involves the selection and configuration of the new node within the existing dashboard. Further, an inability to immediately monitor the new addition may also lead to potential service disruptions. Further, a report generated via a network monitoring tool (such as network performance management systems) is needed to be rescheduled or reconfigured whenever there is the addition of a new node in the network. This process disrupts regular reporting schedules. Hence, current known solutions have several shortcomings. The present disclosure aims to overcome the above-mentioned and other existing problems in this field of technology byproviding a novel solution that automatically detects a new network node associated with a network. Further, the novel solution involves receiving a load balance request, which may indicate that the network is under load or might require any adjustment. Further, a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) data request is transmitted, and in response to the request, the KPI data is collected, which may include detailed performance metrics that help assess the current state of the network. Further, a target counter is identified from the KPI data, which indicates a specific performance indicator that is relevant to detecting new network activity. Further, data associated with the target counter is retrieved, and based on this data, computed data and a notification are generated. Further, the computed data is analysed to detect the presence of the new node in the network. If the computed data shows any deviations from a general pattern or standard data of the network, then the presence of the new node in the network is detected.

[0053] Following are the various components of the system

[0200] , the various components may include: The Integrated performance management module

[0202] comprise of a Performance Management Engine

[0246] and a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) Engine

[0248] ,

[0054] Performance Management Engine

[0246] : The Performance Management engine

[0246] is a crucial component, responsible for collecting, processing, and managing performance counter data from various data sources within the network. The gathered data includes metrics such as connection speed, latency, data transfer rates, and many others. This raw data is then processed and aggregated as required, forming a comprehensive overview of network performance. The processed information is then stored in a Distributed Data Lake

[0228] , a centralized, scalable, andflexible storage solution, allowing for easy access and further analysis. The Performance Management engine

[0246] also enables the reporting and visualization of this performance counter data, thus providing network administrators with a real-time, insightful view of the network's operation. Through these visualizations, operators can monitor the network's performance, identify potential issues, and make informed decisions to enhance network efficiency and reliability.

[0055] Key Performance Indicator (KPI) Engine

[0248] : The Key Performance Indicator (KPI) Engine

[0248] is a dedicated component tasked with managing the KPIs of all the network elements. It uses the performance counters, which are collected and processed by the Performance Management engine from various data sources. These counters, encapsulating crucial performance data, are harnessed by the KPI engine

[0248] to calculate essential KPIs. These KPIs might include data throughput, latency, packet loss rate, and more. Once the KPIs are computed, they are segregated based on the aggregation requirements, offering a multi-layered and detailed understanding of network performance. The processed KPI data is then stored in the Distributed Data Lake

[0228] , ensuring a highly accessible, centralized, and scalable data repository for further analysis and utilization. Similar to the Performance Management engine, the KPI engine

[0248] is also responsible for reporting and visualization of KPI data. This functionality allows network administrators to gain a comprehensive, visual understanding of the network's performance, thus supporting informed decision-making and efficient network management.

[0056] Ingestion layer

[0244] : Its primary function is to establish an environment capable of handling diverse types of incoming data. This data may include Alarms, Counters, Configuration parameters, Call Detail Records (CDRs), Infrastructure metrics, Logs, and Inventory data, all of which are crucial for maintaining and optimizing the network's performance. Upon receiving this data, the Ingestion layer

[0244] processes it by validating its integrity and correctness to ensure it is fit for further use. Following validation, the data is routed to various components of the system, including the normalization layer

[0204] , Streaming Engine
