Coordinating cross-domain and specific domain management data analytics

Abstract

The present invention provides for coordinating cross-domain and specific domain management data analytics comprising receiving a cross-domain request for cross-domain data analytics from a data consumer and decomposing the cross-domain request into domain specific requests for domain specific data analytics for the different domains. It further comprises sending a domain specific request for supported capability of each specific domain to a domain specific analytics data producer of each of the specific domains and receiving a domain specific response about the supported capability to determine whether the cross-domain data analytics is feasible. If it is determined feasible, then sending requests for domain specific data analytics to each of the different specific domains. The received domain specific reports are aggregated and forwarded in a cross-domain report for the requested cross-domain data analytics to a cross-domain analytics data consumer. Whereby causal analysis for the specific use case may provide information on a specific issue, information on priority of the issue based on the magnitude of the problem caused by the issue, or information on an optimised guidance to solve the issue. Identified actions may be performed on a network element or function of the specific domains.
