The notification types like alarm, incident, and change-requests that the target devices (109A-109N) are requesting the data through an API after data receives notification processing will start.


In the API-based approach for network performance monitoring, the centralized system (100) fetches data from the different modules API for which the target devices (109A-109N) has requested by creating a notification. Notification service is loosely coupled to the system, centralized system (100) is very safest and most secure approach for the system and service, centralized system (100) will provide speedy performance and the fastest approach to get data from the different modules through the API.


A PM database is one of network nodes (110A-110N) stores the KPI information for every network element. The centralized system (100) fetches the KPI information directly from the PM database and stores it in Hbase. The Hbase is used to store the unstructured form of data which provides consistent read/write access in high-volume requests. The unstructured data is processed in apache spark due to its speed, ease of use, and dynamic nature, apache-spark is the best choice to process a large amount of data using different functions and approaches.
