Real-time monitoring of services through aggregation view
First Claim
1. A telecommunications network management system that comprises:
- a data collector that receives service information from one or more sources in a telecommunications network, and that converts the service information into values of primary parameters of multiple service model instances; and
a performance data manager that receives the primary parameter values from the data collector, and that calculates values of secondary parameters of the service model instances from the primary parameter values, wherein the performance data manager stores the primary and secondary parameter values in a performance data database, wherein the performance data manager determines at least one aggregated parameter value from values of a parameter of the multiple service model instances and stores the aggregated parameter value in the performance data database.

Abstract
A telecommunications network management system that continuously monitors aggregated service performance is disclosed. The system preferably employs a service model having a hierarchy of user-defined service components, each having one or more parameters. A given service may have multiple instances, each instance corresponding to a different locality. Alternatively, or in addition, the service parameters may have customer-dependent values. The system o includes a data collector component and a performance data manager component. The data collector component receives service information from one or more sources in a telecommunications network, and converts the service information into values of primary parameters of a service model. The performance data manager component calculates values of secondary parameters of the service model, and stores the parameter values in a database. The performance data manager component further determines aggregated parameter values from multiple instances and/or multiple customer-dependent parameter values. The aggregated parameter is stored in the performance data database.
