New features

New dashboard to monitor whether KPI exceeds threshold for specific period [ID 42406]

A new dashboard is now available with the name US FN Breach Report (OFDMA) and US FN Breach Report (SC-QAM). It allows you to monitor whether a KPI is higher than a specific threshold for a specific period of time. It makes use a of new ad hoc data source (EPM_I_DOCSIS_GQI_GET_BREACH_DATA) that reports the fiber nodes that breached a threshold for a specific number of months in a row. This is checked in weekly increments. This means that if for example a month is selected, the dashboard will check whether for that period of time (i.e. a month), the threshold was breached at least once every week.

Changes

Enhancements

Cisco CBR-8 CCAP UTSC: Improved management of FTP settings to prevent data loss [ID 43203]

Up to now, after a reboot or software upgrade of the device , the Cisco CBR-8 CCAP UTSC connector removed FTP settings available in the PNM Bulk Data Transfer Configuration Table (SNMP OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.4491.2.1.27.1.1.3.1). However, these define the destinations for telemetry data generated by the CCAP, including details about the PNM UTSC tests supported by this solution. This means that data could be lost after a reboot or upgrade.

To prevent this, the connector will now store and sync the FTP settings, ensuring they are always backed up and restored by DataMiner. If a reboot or upgrade happens, the settings stored in the UTSC element will automatically be pushed to the CCAP again.

In addition, users will now be able to configure the PNM Bulk Data Transfer Configuration Table directly from the CCAP UTSC element.

Cisco CBR-8 CCAP UTSC/Generic SFTP Client: Improved spectrum capture process [ID 43237]

Previously, when processing spectrum traces using the connectors Cisco CBR-8 CCAP UTSC and Generic SFTP Client, it could occur that it was not clear when all trace results were processed. To improve this, after a capture is triggered, the element using the Cisco CBR-8 CCAP UTSC connector will now wait for the duration that combines the configured free run duration, the repeat period, and a configurable delay. This will ensure that every capture file is safely written to the local storage on the DataMiner Agent where the spectrum capture was taken.

Cisco CBR-8 CCAP UTSC: Improved trace updates [ID 43387]

To ensure that the spectrum trace is updated smoothly, traces are now buffered and then sequentially de-buffered to update the UI.
