Reporting


Reporting is one of the most important features of an NMS. Data is retrieved from the network and presented in a specified report format. This can include:

  • Deployed NEs

  • NE configuration

  • Interfaces

  • Links

  • Virtual connections

The data gathered is presented in a manner useful to the operator.

NNM Reporting

NNM reporting is GUI-based and accessible through a browser. The main options are:

  • Report configuration : Create, delete, and modify reports

  • Congestion, for example, FR PVCs

  • Historical details

  • Inventory

  • Performance

  • Real-time details

  • Thresholds

  • Trend analysis

These provide a useful foundation for creating additional reports if required.
