NSP Telemetry

Course number: OS00107-W

Course duration: 2 hours

Price: €200 

Course overview

This self-paced e-learning course enables the learner to develop a solid theoretical and practical understanding of telemetry based network monitoring and statistics collection using Nokia’s Network Services Platform (NSP).  Discover the pre-requisites and associated procedures for implementing telemetry in your NSP managed network such as the setup of TLS and gRPC, and the creation and/or installation of statistics definition and device mapping files.  Understand what a telemetry subscription is and how to create and manage them using the NSP Data Collection and Analysis function.  Verify subscriptions are enabled and view the real-time telemetry data.  Learn to define how telemetry data is aggregated and for how long it is retained in the database.  Using references from the Nokia Developer Portal, see how subscriptions can be created using NSP RESTCONF APIs.

Course objectives

After completing the course, students should be able to:

 

  • Define telemetry in the context of the NSP
  • Describe the gRPC framework and its key components
  • List the steps for configuring gRPC on NSP and SROS
  • Summarize the benefits and functions of NSP Telemetry
  • Describe Cloud-Native (CN) telemetry, its’ framework, and its’ components
  • Contrast gathering telemetry from classic managed nodes versus NSP managed nodes
  • Explain the difference between Stats Definition and Device Mapping files
  • Demonstrate how to create and install Stats Definition and Device Mapping files
  • Explain the importance of the Kafka bus
  • Demonstrate how to enable Transport Layer Security (TLS)
  • Demonstrate how to configure and enable gRPC
  • List the prequisites for telemetry data collection
  • Define “subscription”, “age-out-policy” and “aggregation rule”
  • Explain the purpose of NSP’s Data Collection and Analysis function
  • Demonstrate how to enable, edit and view NE telemetry data collection via the Data Collection and Analysis function
  • Locate telemetry resources using the Nokia Developer Portal
  • Perform a RESTCONF telemetry subscription
