1.1 Overview of Alarms


This section describes basic information about about Alarm Management, including its
definition, benefits, application scenarios, functions, availability, and principles.

1.1.1 Definition
Alarm Management enables O&M personnel to monitor and manage alarms or events
reported by the system or MOs. Alarm Management provides various monitoring and
handling rules and notifies O&M personnel of faults. In this way, network faults can be
efficiently monitored, quickly located, and handled, ensuring proper service running. MOs
refer to the objects or NEs connected to Alarm Management.

Alarm and Event


If the system or MOs detect an exception or a significant status change, an alarm or event will
be displayed on the GUI of Alarm Management. Table 1-1 describes the definitions of the
alarm and event.

green.

Current Alarms and Historical Alarms


Table 1-4 describes current alarms and historical alarms.

Table 1-4 Current alarms and historical alarms

Name Description

Current alarms Current alarms include uncleared and unacknowledged alarms,


acknowledged and uncleared alarms, and unacknowledged and cleared
alarms. When monitoring current alarms, you can identify faults in
time, operate accordingly, and notify maintenance personnel of these
faults.

Historical alarms Acknowledged and cleared alarms are historical alarms. You can
analyze historical alarms to optimize system performance.
When you set the current alarm lifecycle, the acknowledged and
cleared alarms are displayed on the Current Alarms page for a period
of time. After the lifecycle ends, the acknowledged and cleared alarms
are moved to the historical alarm list.

faults on next-generation networks, such as Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and
Software-Defined Networking (SDN). Alarm Management improves network O&M
efficiency.
Alarm Management:

Issue 05 (2019-09-05) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 4


U2020
Fault Management User Guide 1 Alarms

l Provides cross-domain and cross-vendor data collection. Alarm Management collects NE


alarms from lower-layer third-party systems and displays the alarms on the monitoring
page, enabling collective alarm monitoring.
l Provides diversified alarm filtering methods, which enable O&M personnel to filter
concerned alarms and achieve precise monitoring.
l Enables flexible alarm rule configurations to associate and compress a large number of
alarms, reducing alarm noises and improving monitoring efficiency.
l Provides real-time alarm reporting interfaces, which are used to report alarms to the
upper-layer NMS so that O&M personnel can monitor the alarms easily.

1.1.3 Application Scenarios


An alarm management panorama describes alarm management operations performed in
different O&M scenarios. O&M personnel can perform operations based on actual O&M
scenarios.

The alarm management panorama provides an overview of end-to-end processes and tasks in

U2020
Fault Management User Guide 1 Alarms

Table 1-6 Alarm management functions


Function Description

Configuring Provides alarm rules and visual management GUIs.


alarms l Alarm masking rule
During maintenance, testing, or deployment, the system or MO
generates predictable alarms or events that do not need to be focused
on or handled. You can set an alarm masking rule to mask alarms or
events on the Current Alarms or Event Logs page. When setting a
masking rule, you can choose to discard masked alarms or events
(not saving them in the alarm database) or display masked alarms on
the Masked Alarms page.
l Alarm notification
– Notification template: You can create a notification template as
required so that you can select it when configuring a notification
rule. This improves rule configuration efficiency.
– Notification rules: U2020 can send alarms or events that meet the
preset conditions to the O&M personnel through short messages
or emails. This helps the O&M personnel learn the alarm or event
information and take measures. You can set alarm or event
notification conditions as required. For example, you can select a
specific time range at work days for notification.
l Severity and type redefinition rule (on U2020)
To preferentially ensure smooth running of network devices or
crucial devices in a region, you can reconfigure rules to modify alarm
or event severities and types. For example, you can set the severities
of the alarms that you are concerned about to high levels so that
O&M personnel will handle the alarms first. In this way, high-quality
network assurance services are provided.
l Name redefinition rule (on U2020)
Some alarm or event names are technical and difficult to understand.
You can redefine alarm or event names as required.
l Severity redefinition rule (on NEs)
You can downgrade the severities of the alarms or events that do not
require attention and upgrade the severities of the alarms or events
that require attention. NEs then report alarms or events to U2020
according to the redefined rules.
l Alarm synchronization
After an interconnected system (for example, an NE or a third-party
system) is disconnected from U2020, alarms in the interconnected
system cannot be reported to U2020. After the connection is restored,
the alarms need to be synchronized with U2020 to facilitate
monitoring.
l Alarm correlation rule
A correlation rule defines correlative relationships between alarms.
Correlated alarms are the alarms whose causes are related. Among
correlated alarms, one alarm is the root cause of the others. By
analyzing NE alarms, U2020 identifies root alarms and correlative

Issue 05 (2019-09-05) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 7


U2020
Fault Management User Guide 1 Alarms

Function Description

alarms based on specified criteria, and displays the alarm


correlations.
You can customize correlation rules, and enable and disable default
correlation rules as required. When monitoring or viewing alarms,
you can filter out correlative alarms, and locate and handle only the
root alarms to improve O&M efficiency.
l Intermittent/toggling rule
When the interval between generation and clearance of an alarm is
shorter than a specific period, the alarm is considered as an
intermittent alarm.
If the number of times that an alarm (with the same ID) is reported
by the same alarm source in a specified period reaches the trigger
condition, the toggling handling is started.
Intermittent/toggling alarms can be discarded or masked to reduce
interference caused by repeated alarms.
l Alarm aggregation rule
After an aggregation rule is set, the system automatically aggregates
repeated alarms reported within the specified period into one alarm.
This reduces interference caused by repeated alarms. O&M personnel
can view the aggregated alarms on the alarm details page.
l Alarm handling experience
After handling an alarm, you need to record the handling information
to the handling experience database for future reference or guidance.
You can import or export alarm handling experience.
l Setting events as ADMC alarms
This rule converts events that meet rule conditions to automatically
detected and manually cleared (ADMC) alarms. This enables you to
monitor and view events that concern you on the Current Alarms
page. This type of alarm cannot be automatically cleared.
l Current alarm threshold warning
To prevent important alarms from being moved to the historical-
alarm list, you can set a threshold for current alarms. When the
number of current alarms reaches a specified threshold, an alarm is
reported to prompt users to handle the current alarms.
l Automatic acknowledge rule
After an automatic acknowledgment rule is set, alarm management
automatically acknowledges the current alarms in the cleared state
according to a specific rule and moves the acknowledged alarms to
the Historical Alarms page.
l Northbound filtering rule
On the live network, the NMS often receives a large number of
alarms. Network congestion and breakdown may occur due to
overload, and consequently users cannot quickly locate their
concerned alarms. To resolve this problem, you can set northbound
alarm filtering rules using alarm management so that the system can
determine whether to report the alarms that meet the rules to the
NMS.

U2020
Fault Management User Guide 1 Alarms

Function Description

l Intelligent alarm correlation


U2020 can effectively identify root alarms and intelligently associate
alarms according to alarm correlation rules. The O&M personnel
manually select NEs to be analyzed and define one-time or periodic
analysis tasks. With typical AI algorithms, U2020 automatically
identifies correlations between NE alarms and generates alarm
correlation rules.
With the Intelligent Alarm Correlation function, U2020 generates
alarm correlation rules based on fault alarm correlation analysis in
multiple scenarios, learns alarm correlations online in a timely
manner, and adjusts the correlation dynamically. This function
simplifies manual analysis, rule configuration and update, poses
lower capability requirements for the O&M personnel, improves
alarm handling efficiency, and accelerates the deployment of the
alarm correlation function in product versions.
l Intelligent alarm compression
U2020 automatically learns alarm toggling rules. By analyzing
historical alarms reported by NEs, U2020 automatically extracts
appropriate alarm toggling rules. Based on the automatically acquired
rules, if the number of duplicate alarms reported by NEs exceeds the
predefined threshold within a specified period, U2020 combines
these alarms, and only the first alarm and U2020-reported toggling
alarms are displayed on U2020. This reduces redundant toggling
alarms from NEs and improves O&M efficiency.
l Defining an NE alarm
With the environment monitoring function provided by U2020, you
can monitor the equipment room environment of NEs by defining NE
alarms according to actual situations. You need to bind the user-
defined alarms to a port of an NE and mount an environment
monitoring device to this port when configuring the NE. When the
monitoring device detects that the environment is abnormal, the NE
generates alarms in real time and reports the alarms to U2020. A
user-defined NE alarm is uniquely identified by NE type and alarm
ID. You need to define the name, severity, and ID of each user-
defined alarm based on site requirements.
l Alarm box
The alarm box can use indicators of different colors and play
different sounds based on NE alarm severities. You can set filter
criteria for the alarm box. Alarms that match the criteria are sent to
the alarm box, and you are notified of the alarms by indicators and
sounds.
l Personalized monitoring
– Color settings: You can set colors for alarms at different severities
to easily browse the concerned alarms.
– Alarm sounds: You can set sounds for alarms at different
severities or alarms specified by Sound by alarm name to
facilitate alarm monitoring. When an alarm is generated, the
sound box on your PC produces a corresponding sound.

Alarm Handling Mechanisms


Alarm Management provides three alarm handling mechanisms:
l Alarm merging rules improve alarm monitoring efficiency.
l Processing of the full current alarm cache is used to control the number of current
alarms.
l Alarm dump rules are used to control the storage capacity of the database to prevent
system performance from being affected.

Issue 05 (2019-09-05) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 12


U2020
Fault Management User Guide 1 Alarms

Table 1-7 Alarm handling mechanisms


Mechanism Description

Alarm merging To help users improve the efficiency of monitoring and handling
rule alarms, Alarm Management provides alarm merging rules. Alarms with
the same specified fields (such as location information and alarm ID)
are merged into one alarm. This rule is used only for monitoring and
viewing alarms on the Current Alarms page and takes effect only for
current alarms.
The specific implementation scheme is as follows:
l If a newly reported alarm does not correspond to any previous
reported alarm that meets the merging rule, the newly reported
alarm is displayed as a merged alarm and the value of Occurrences
is 1.
l If the newly reported alarm B and the previous reported alarm A
meet the merging rule, alarm B and alarm A are merged into one
alarm record and are sorted by clearance status and occurrence time.
If alarm A is displayed on top, it is still regarded as a merged alarm,
and the Occurrences value of the merged alarm increases by one.
Alarm B is regarded as an individual alarm.
If alarm B is displayed on top, it is regarded as a merged alarm, and
the Occurrences value of the merged alarm increases by one.
Alarm A is regarded as an individual alarm.
In the alarm list, click Occurrences of an alarm, you can view the
detailed information about the merged alarm and individual alarm.
l If a merged alarm is cleared, it will be converted into an individual
alarm. The previous individual alarms will be sorted by clearance
status and occurrence time. The first one becomes a merged alarm.
l If a merged alarm or individual alarm is cleared and acknowledged,
the alarm will be converted to a historical alarm and the value of
Occurrences decreases by one.

Processing of the To prevent excessive current alarms from deteriorating system


full current performance, Alarm Management provides a full-alarm processing rule.
alarm cache When the number of current alarms in the database reaches the upper
threshold, Alarm Management applies the following two rules to move
some alarms to the historical-alarm list until the number of alarms falls
to 90% of the upper threshold.
l The cleared alarms, acknowledged and uncleared ADMC alarms,
acknowledged and uncleared ADAC alarms, and unacknowledged
and uncleared alarms are moved to the historical-alarm list in
sequence.
l The first reported alarms are moved to the historical-alarm list by
time.

Issue 05 (2019-09-05) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 13


U2020
Fault Management User Guide 1 Alarms

Mechanism Description

Alarm dump rule To avoid excessive alarm database data, the system processes events,
masked alarms, and historical alarms every two minutes according to
the following rules:
l If the database space usage reaches 80%, Alarm Management
dumps the data in the database to files according to the sequence of
occurrence time and data table type (event, masked alarm, or
historical alarm).
l The dumped file will be deleted after 180 days.
l If the total size of the dumped files exceeds 1024 MB or the total
number of files exceeds 1000, the system deletes the earliest files.

Internal Alarm Handling Process


The internal alarm handling process indicates that Alarm Management processes alarms after
receiving the alarms reported by devices. This process involves the operations, such as alarm
masking, correlation analysis, and severity redefinition.
Figure 1-2 shows the internal alarm handling process.

1.2 Configuring Alarms or Events


You can set alarm or event rules to customize alarm or event monitoring policies as required,
improving troubleshooting efficiency.

1.2.1 Precise Monitoring

1.2.1.1 Configuring Masking Rules


During maintenance, commissioning, or site deployment, NEs may report a large number of
alarms or events to U2020. You can set a masking rule to mask unconcerned alarms or events.
Then, the alarms or events that meet the masking rule are not displayed on the U2020 client.
You can set masking rules on U2020 or on NEs. If you set masking rules on U2020, U2020
discards the received alarms or events that meet the masking rules and does not save them in
the alarm database. If you set masking rules on an NE, the NE does not report the alarms or
events that meet the masking rules to U2020.

Prerequisites
l You have the operation rights of Set Masking Rules, Set NE alarm shield, and Add
object alarm shield.
l You can set rules for MOs. For rules not for MOs, you can only view them.

Context
l A masking rule takes effect only for the alarms and events that are reported after the rule
is set.
l After a masking rule is disabled, deleted, or modified, alarms or events that have been
masked before the masking rule is disabled, deleted, or modified will not be reported
again.
l If an alarm matches multiple masking rules that have been enabled and are effective and
if the action of one of these rules is set to Discard, the alarm will be discarded based on
the rule.

U2020
Fault Management User Guide 1 Alarms

l Masking rules mask alarms based on the original alarm attributes (alarm attributes before
redefinition). If both a severity redefinition rule and a masking rule are set for an alarm,
the masking rule will take effect in a higher priority than the redefinition rule.
l A maximum of 1000 masking rules can be created.
l Some alarms that may cause service interruption will not be masked even if a masking
rule is created on U2020. For example: ALM-26817 License on Trial.
l If a masking rule meets all the following conditions, it will mask all alarms or events,
and consequently no alarms or events can be reported.
– The masking rule is enabled.
– All alarm or event sources are selected in the masking rule.
– All alarm or event severities are selected in the masking rule.
– Designated alarms or events are not selected and advanced criteria are not set in the
masking rule.
– The time filter condition is not set in the masking rule.
l The procedure for creating an event masking rule is similar to that for creating an alarm
masking rule. On U2020, creating an alarm masking rule is used as an example. If you
need to create an event masking rule, click Create on the Masking Rules page and
choose Event Masking Rules.
l By default, the rules are sorted by the enablement and disablement statuses, and the rules
in the same status are sorted by update time in descending order.
l You can set an alarm masking rule according to Table 1-10.

1.2.1.4 Configuring Alarm/Event Severity Redefinition Rules on NEs


On U2020, you can redefine the names, types, and severities of alarms or events that U2020
receives from NEs based on actual conditions. For example, you can downgrade the severities
of the alarms or events that do not require attention and upgrade the severities of the alarms or
events that require attention. U2020 supports two redefinition modes: redefinition on the
U2020 side and redefinition on the NE side. In the first redefinition mode, alarms and events
are reported to U2020, and U2020 displays the alarms and events according to the redefined

1.2.1.6 Configuring Intermittent/Toggling Rules


After this rule is set, the alarms that last for a short period of time or are frequently reported
can be discarded or displayed on the Masked Alarms page to reduce interference caused by
repetitive alarms.

Prerequisites
You have the following operation permissions: Set Intermittent/Toggling Rules.

Context
l A rule takes effect only for the alarms reported when the rule is enabled and valid.
l Original alarm: The alarms that meet the intermittent/toggling rules are original alarms.
l Intermittent alarm: When the time difference between alarm generation and alarm
clearance is less than a specific period, the alarm is considered as an intermittent alarm.
The period is called intermittent period.
l Toggling alarm: When the number of times that an alarm (with the same alarm ID) is
reported by the same alarm source in a specified period reaches the trigger condition, the
toggling handling is started. You can set the action to generate a toggling alarm or
avalanche alarm, or redefine the original alarm severity. When the number of times that
the alarm is reported by the sam alarm source in the specified period reaches the
termination condition, the toggling handling is terminated.
l If the interval between the time when an alarm is generated and the time when the alarm
arrives at the NMS is longer than 5 minutes, the alarm does not match the intermittent
policy or toggling policy even if the alarm meets the conditions.
l A new intermittent/toggling rule takes effect only for the alarms that are reported after
the rule is enabled.
l The system calculates and processes the alarms every 10 seconds based on the rule for
handling intermittent alarms. If more than 1000 alarms are reported within 10 seconds,

Issue 05 (2019-09-05) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 32


U2020
Fault Management User Guide 1 Alarms

only the latest 1000 alarms are processed based on the rule for handling intermittent
alarms. Other alarms are reported directly.
l A maximum of 1000 intermittent/toggling rules can be created.
l By default, the rules are sorted by the enabled and disabled states, and the rules in the
same state are sorted by update time in descending order.

Procedure
Step 1 Choose Monitor > Alarms > Alarm Settings from the main menu.

Step 2 In the navigation pane, choose Intermittent/Toggling Rules.

Step 3 On the Intermittent/Toggling Rules page, click Create.

Step 4 In the Basic Information area, set the rule name, description, and whether to enable the rule.

Step 5 In the Conditions area, set the alarm severities, alarms, and alarm sources for the rule to take
effect. Set advanced conditions to filter the alarms for the rule to take effect based on alarm
parameters.
NOTE

l By default, Designated alarms is deselected, that is, the rule takes effect for all alarms.
l All alarm sources is available only when the user can manage all resources.

Step 6 In the Time Filter area, set the time when the rule is effective. You can set the effective time
and effective cycle.
NOTE

If all options of Time Filter are not selected, the rule takes effect at any time.

Step 7 Configure analysis policies.


l Intermittent Policy: Sets an intermittent period and action. For example, set the
intermittent period to 30 seconds and set the alarm handling mode to the discard mode.
When the interval between the alarm generation time and clearance time is less than 30
seconds, the alarm will be discarded.
– Period: If the interval between the alarm generation time and alarm clearance time
is less than the set period, the alarm meets the intermittent policy.
– Action: The action for handling the alarm that meets the intermittent policy can be
set to Discard or Show in Masked Alarms.
l Toggling Policy: Sets the toggling trigger condition, termination condition, and handling
policy. The differences between toggling alarms and avalanche alarms are as follows:
– Toggling alarm: A new alarm is generated. The alarm is identified as a toggling
alarm. The alarm information is the same as that of an original alarm. You can set
Toggling Identifier in the Advanced settings area on the filter panel to filter the
alarms.
– Avalanche alarm: ALM-118 Avalanche Alarm is generated.

Step 8 In the Other area, set the priority for the rule.

Task Example
Scenario

A minor alarm M lasts for a short period of time or is reported frequently. The cause may be
that an NE or service switches between the normal state and the abnormal state repeatedly. To
reduce the interference of such alarms, you can set an intermittent/toggling rule to handle the
alarms using the following policies:

l Intermittent policy: If the duration of alarm M is less than 30 seconds, alarm M is


discarded.
l Toggling policy: If the number of times that alarm M is generated within 60 seconds is
greater than 2, the toggling handling is triggered. If the number of times that alarm M is
generated within 60 seconds is less than or equal to 0, the toggling handling is
terminated.

Procedure

1. On the Intermittent/Toggling Rules page, click Create.


2. Entering a rule name.
3. In the Conditions area, select Designated alarms. Click Add Alarm and select M,

1.2.1.9 Configuring Auto Acknowledgement Rules


When the number of current alarms reaches the threshold, the system processes the full
current alarm cache and moves current alarms to the historical alarm list. To prevent the
important alarms in the full current alarm list from being processed, the system automatically
acknowledges the current alarms in the cleared status based on an acknowledgement rule
specified by users and converts them to historical alarms.

Prerequisites
You have the following operation permissions: Set Auto Acknowledgement Rules.

Context
l Auto acknowledgment rules take effect only for unacknowledged and cleared alarms.
Alarms cleared before immediate acknowledgment is enabled are not affected.
l A maximum of 1000 auto acknowledgement rules are supported in the system. Four
preset rules exist in the system and a maximum of 996 rules can be created.
l If an alarm complies with auto acknowledgement rules in both the delayed and
immediate modes, the system acknowledges the alarm in immediate mode.
l By default, the rules are sorted by the enabled and disabled states, and the rules in the
same state are sorted by update time in descending order.

Procedure
Step 1 Choose Monitor > Alarms > Alarm Settings from the main menu.

Step 2 In the navigation pane, choose Auto Acknowledgement Rules.

Step 3 In the auto acknowledgement rule list, the first four rules are preset for automatically
acknowledging alarms by severity. Check whether the rules already meet the requirements.
l If yes, go to Step 4.
l If no, go to Step 5.
Step 4 Enable an auto acknowledgment rule by alarm severity. For example, when the auto
acknowledgement rule for major alarms is enabled, the cleared but unacknowledged major
alarms will be acknowledged automatically.
In the auto acknowledgment rule list, the first four rules are preset. Only users who can

1.2.1.10 Configuring Northbound Filtering Rules


The upper-layer NMS often receives a large number of alarms. Network congestion and
breakdown may occur due to overload, and users cannot quickly locate their concerned
alarms. To solve this problem, users can set northbound filtering rules in Alarm Management
to determine whether to report the alarms that meet conditions to the upper-layer NMS.

Prerequisites
You have the following operation permissions: Set Northbound Filtering Rules.

Context
l If no northbound filtering rule is set or enabled, all alarms are reported to the upper-layer
NMS.
l A maximum of 20 northbound filtering rules can be set.
l When the settings of Conditions for the rule to be created are the same as an existing
northbound filtering rule, the creation will fail.

Issue 05 (2019-09-05) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 41


U2020
Fault Management User Guide 1 Alarms

l A northbound filtering rule takes effect only for the alarms generated after the rule is
enabled.
l If alarms are reported to the northbound interface based on the setting, the corresponding
acknowledged alarms, unacknowledged alarms, and clear alarms are reported to the
upper-layer NMS. Acknowledged, unacknowledged, and clear alarm notifications will
still be sent to the upper-layer NMS even if the northbound filtering rule is modified,
deleted or disabled.
l By default, the rules are sorted by the enabled and disabled states, and the rules in the
same state are sorted by update time in descending order.

Procedure
Step 1 Choose Monitor > Alarms > Alarm Settings from the main menu.

Step 2 In the navigation pane, choose Northbound Filtering Rules.

Step 3 On the Northbound Filtering Rules page, set Alarms that do not meet enabled rules to
Reported to northbound interface or Not reported to northbound interface.

The setting takes effect for all northbound filtering rules. If the reported alarms do not meet
any northbound filtering rule, the alarms will be handled based on the setting. If the number
of configured northbound filtering rules is 0, this configuration item is not displayed. In this
case, all reported alarms are reported to the upper-layer NMS.

NOTE

Only users with the Administrators role s can modify the general setting.

Step 4 On the Northbound Filtering Rules page, click Create.

Step 5 In the Basic Information area, set the rule name, description, and whether to enable the rule.

Step 6 In the Conditions area, set the alarm severities, alarms, and alarm sources for the rule to take
effect. Set advanced conditions to filter the alarms for the rule to take effect based on alarm
parameters.
NOTE

l By default, Designated alarms is deselected, that is, the rule takes effect for all alarms.
l All alarm sources is available only when the user can manage all resources.

Step 7 In the Action area, set the handling policy for the alarms that meet the rule. For example, if
Alarms meeting this rule are is set to Reported to northbound interface, Alarm
Management reports the alarms meeting the conditions to the upper-layer NMS.

Step 8 Set the delay time for reporting alarms.


l When the alarm duration is shorter than the delay time, alarms are not reported to the
upper-layer NMS.
l When the alarm duration is longer than the delay time, the alarms are reported to the
upper-layer NMS.

Step 9 In the Other area, set the priority for the rule.

Step 10 Click OK.

1.2.1.11 Configuring Clustering Rules for Similar Alarms


Similar alarm clustering refers to grouping alarms generated by NEs. The number of alarms
remains unchanged before and after clustering. The intelligent algorithm learns historical
alarms of specified NEs and in specified time periods and analyzes similar alarm clustering
rules. New alarms are automatically grouped based on the clustering rules. Users can view all
similar alarms in a group, reducing interference caused by repeated alarms and helping O&M
engineers locate NE faults. As a result, O&M efficiency is improved.

Prerequisites
l You have the Set Similar Alarm Clustering Rules permission.
l You have the permission to manage operation objects.
You can set rules configured for MOs. For rules not configured for MOs, you can only
view them.
l The function of configuring clustering rules for similar alarms is disabled by default. To
enable this function, you must enable related functions and services. For details, see
1.7.16 How Do I Enable or Disable the Function of Configuring Clustering Rules
for Similar Alarms?.
l This feature is under license control. To use this feature, you need to purchase the license
control item LWU2020I02.

Context
l In the event of peer link disconnection, network adapter faults, or host faults, NEs
generate a large number of communication fault alarms, complicating maintenance. With
this function, U2020 can analyze similar alarms in offline mode and cluster them into
one group in online mode, improving alarm fault locating efficiency.
l If an alarm storm occurs (that is, over 150 alarms with clustering rules are reported per
second and the maximum clustering duration for all rules is 120s), the system cache is
full. In this situation, the alarms will not be clustered; instead, they will be reported
directly. After the cache is cleared, the alarm clustering function becomes available.
While the system cache becomes full and the cache is cleared, the alarms are not
clustered; instead, they are directly reported.

Working Principles
The function implementation consists of the following two phases:
1. Offline analysis: U2020 learns historical alarms with the same IDs and NE types using
an algorithm, analyzes and compares fields in alarm location information, recommends
key fields, and generates clustering rules.
2. Online clustering: U2020 collects online alarms, clusters alarms with the same IDs and
NE types by time range, calculates the occurrence frequency of each field value in the
alarm location information in each time range, explores frequent field value
combinations, obtains frequent item sets, identifies the optimal frequent item set based
on key fields in the clustering rules generated during offline analysis, and provides the
best clustering plan.
The following figure illustrates the implementation of this function.
The communication links between the local end (NEs A and B) and the peer end (NEs 1, 2, 3,
and 4) are A1, A2, A3, A4, B1, B2, B3, and B4.

1. Offline analysis: U2020 analyzes location information in NE link interruption alarms in


offline mode, obtains the key fields (local and peer IP addresses), and generates related
alarm clustering rules.
2. Online clustering: U2020 clusters alarms according to the alarm clustering rules
generated in offline analysis.

Procedure
Step 1 Choose Monitor > Alarms > Alarm Settings from the main menu.

Step 2 In the navigation tree, choose Similar Alarm Clustering Rules.

Step 3 Perform appropriate operations by scenario.

1.2.1.13 Setting Intelligent Alarm Compression


U2020 automatically learns alarm toggling rules. By analyzing historical alarms reported by
NEs, U2020 automatically extracts appropriate alarm toggling rules. Based on the
automatically acquired rules, if the number of duplicate alarms reported by NEs exceeds the
predefined threshold within a specified period, U2020 combines these alarms, and only the
first alarm and U2020-reported toggling alarms are displayed on U2020. This reduces the
number of redundant toggling alarms of NEs and improves O&M efficiency.

Prerequisites

This section describes how to define an NE alarm. With the environment monitoring function
provided by U2020, you can monitor the equipment room environment of NEs by defining
NE alarms according to actual situations. You need to bind the user-defined alarms to a port of
an NE and mount an environment monitoring device to this port when configuring the NE.
When the monitoring device detects that the environment is abnormal, the NE generates
alarms in real time and reports the alarms to U2020. A user-defined NE alarm is uniquely
identified by NE type and alarm ID. You need to define the name, severity, and ID of the
alarm as required.

1.5.2 Managing Alarm/Event Data


U2020 provides scheduled dump, and manual dump for alarms and events, and scheduled
alarm synchronization. U2020 preferentially dumps earlier alarms or events based on the
alarm or event generation time stored in the database, and deletes the dumped alarms or
events from the database. Users can open the dump files on the server and view dumped alarm
or event information.

NOTE

When excessive files exist in the dump path, U2020 deletes some earlier dump files. When the same
dump or export path is specified for different tasks, executing one of the tasks may delete the dump or
export files that have been generated by another task. For example, when the same path is specified for
the alarm or event log export task and the alarm/event log dump task, executing this task may delete the
files that have been generated by the alarm/event log dump task.

1.5.2.1 Setting the Current Alarm Threshold Warning


When the number of current alarms reaches the maximum capacity, the system moves some
current alarms to the historical-alarm list based on the full-cache processing rule. To prevent
important alarms from being moved to the historical-alarm list, you can set a threshold for
current alarms. When the number of current alarms reaches a specified threshold, an alarm is
reported to prompt users to handle the current alarms.

Issue 05 (2019-09-05) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 96


U2020
Fault Management User Guide 1 Alarms

Prerequisites
Only users with the Administrators role can set the current threshold warning.

Context
To prevent excessive current alarms from deteriorating system performance, Alarm
Management provides a full-alarm processing rule. When the number of current alarms in the
database reaches the upper threshold, Alarm Management applies the following two rules to
move some alarms to the historical-alarm list until the number of alarms falls to 90% of the
upper threshold.
l The cleared alarms, acknowledged and uncleared ADMC alarms, acknowledged and
uncleared ADAC alarms, and unacknowledged and uncleared alarms are moved to the
historical-alarm list in sequence.
l The first reported alarms are moved to the historical-alarm list by time.

Procedure
Step 1 Choose Monitor > Alarms > Alarm Settings from the main menu.

Step 2 In the navigation pane, choose Current Alarm Threshold Warning.

Step 3 Select whether to send an alarm when the number of current alarms reaches the threshold and
set the thresholds for generating and clearing alarms.
l Generation threshold: When the ratio of the number of current alarms to the maximum
capacity is greater than or equal to the specified threshold, ALM-157 The Number of
Current Alarms Reaches the Threshold is generated.
l Clearance threshold: When the ratio of the number of current alarms to the maximum
capacity is less than the specified threshold, ALM-157 The Number of Current Alarms
Reaches the Threshold is cleared. The clearance threshold cannot be higher than the
generation threshold.

Step 4 Click Apply.

1.5.2.2 Scheduled Alarm or Event Log Dump


U2020 automatically dumps alarm or event logs at specified intervals. The dumped alarm or
event logs are deleted from the database, avoiding database space shortage.

Prerequisites
You have the operation rights for Alarm/Event Log Dump and Task Management.

Context
The log query tool allows you to query log files in CSV or TXT format or ZIP packages
compressed from CSV or TXT files. If you want to use the tool to query logs, you are advised

l Each dump file saves a maximum of 5,000 records. If more than 5000 records are dumped, they are
dumped to two or more files. The number in the file name continuously increases, for example,
20180907160622-event-log-manual-1.csv and 20180907160622-event-log-manual-2.csv.
l If a file is dumped during daylight saving time (DST), its name contains DST. For example,
20180907160622_DST-event-log-manual-1.csv indicates that this alarm log is dumped during DST.
l Alarm or event logs can be dumped to a CSV, XML, or TXT file and then are compressed to a ZIP
package.
l If the exported CSV file contains a cell starting with special characters including =+@-, a dialog box
may be displayed when you open the file in Excel format, reminding you of security risks. In this
case, you need to disable the macro as prompted.

Question
Why is an alarm not reported immediately after it is generated?

Answer
An intermittent policy may be configured in the intermittent/toggling rule. You do not need to
resolve this issue because it is not a problem.

Intermittent policy: The following uses an intermittent alarm handling rule for which Period
(s) is set to 30 seconds as an example. When an alarm that meets rule conditions is generated:
If the alarm is cleared within 30 seconds, it will be discarded or masked. If the alarm is not
cleared within 30 seconds, it will be reported to Alarm Management.

1.7.10 Why Are Alarms That Meet All Search Criteria Not Found
in Time-based Query Results?
Question
When I query alarms of a specified period based on NT, some alarms that meet the search
criteria are not found. Why?

Answer
If time-based search criteria is set (such as last occurrence time and clearance time), the time
mode is set to NT, and the period covered is within the one-hour shift to the daylight saving
time (DST), some alarms that meet the search criteria may not be found.
The following uses the search criterion Cleared On as an example:
l The server is located in the UTC+10:00 time zone.
l The local time of the time zone changed to DST at 02:00 on March 6.
l Clearance time is set to the period between 01:30 and 02:10 on March 6.
At 02:00 on March 6, the DST starts in the UTC+10:00 time zone. The time 02:00 is
displayed as 03:00 on March 6. Therefore, the hour between 02:00 and 03:00 is lost. In this
case, the clearance time period is set between 01:30 and 02:10 so that alarms generated
between 02:00 and 02:10 cannot be queried.

1.7.11 Why Does the Query Result Contain Alarms That Are
Generated Beyond the Specified Period?
Question
When I query or dump the alarms generated in a specific period, the query result contains
alarms generated beyond this period. What shall I do?

Answer
Time localization means that the alarm generation time and the alarm clearance time are
displayed as the local time of the current system. Because the Alarm Management server uses
the GMT to process all services, the processing is not affected by the time zones or DST.
When the Alarm Management system submits a task to the server, the server automatically
converts the system time into the standard time. Therefore, due to the impacts of the time
zones or DST, if the processing time segment of the time related services processed by the
server contains a period with a DST change, the processing time is probably different from
the time displayed on the GUI of Alarm Management.
Assume that:
l The current time zone of Alarm Management is west area 2.
l The local time of the West Two time zone changed to DST at 02:00, March 25.
l The current GMT is 04:30, March 25.
l An alarm was generated at 01:50, March 25 in the West Two time zone.
l In Alarm Management, query the alarms generated from 02:00 to 04:00, March 25.

Issue 05 (2019-09-05) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 148


U2020
Fault Management User Guide 1 Alarms

l In Alarm Management, dump the alarms generated from 02:00 to 04:00, March 25.
The preceding assumptions lead to the following results:
l The current GMT is 04:30, March 25, which corresponds to 02:30, March 25, non-DST
in West Two. Because the DST started at 02:00, March 25 in West Two, the current DST
time in West Two is 03:30, March 25. The time of Alarm Management is displayed as
03:30, March 25.
l An alarm was generated at 01:50, March 25, local time in the West Two time zone. The
alarm generation time corresponds to 03:50, March 25, GMT. Due to client time
localization, the alarm time is displayed in Alarm Management as 01:50, March 25.
Therefore, when you query the alarms generated from 02:00 to 04:00, March 25 in
Alarm Management, the time range should be converted into 03:00-05:00, March 25. In
this way, you can query the alarms. Similarly, when you dump the alarms generated from
02:00 to 04:00, March 25, the time range should be converted into 03:00-05:00, March
25. In this way, you can dump the alarms.

1.7.12 Why Do Previous Alarms Fail to Be Queried?


Question
Why do previous alarms fail to be queried?

Answer
l Previous alarms in the current-alarm list cannot be queried.
When 200,000 current alarms are archived to a database (if the physical memory is 3
GB), Alarm Management uses the following rules to move some alarms to the historical-
alarm list until the number of current alarms falls into the appropriate range.
– Move cleared alarms, acknowledged and uncleared ADMC alarms, acknowledged
and uncleared ADAC alarms, and unacknowledged and uncleared alarms to the
historical-alarm list in sequence.
– Move earlier alarms to the historical-alarm list first.
l Previous alarms in the historical-alarm list cannot be queried.
Alarm Management performs automatic detection at 01:00 every morning and triggers
the dumping mechanism for events, masked alarms, and historical alarms. Dumped
alarms cannot be queried in the historical-alarm list. Alarms are dumped based on the
following rules:
– If the database tablespace usage reaches 80%, Alarm Management dumps the data
in the database to files according to the occurrence sequence and the database table
type (event, masked alarm, or historical alarm).
– If Alarm Management detects that data in a database table is generated 90 days ago,
it dumps the database table.
– A dump file can contain a maximum of 1024 MB data or is retained for a maximum
of 180 days. If the size or the retention duration exceeds the threshold, the earliest
dump file is deleted.

2.1 Overview of Notifications


This section describes basic information about Notifications, including the definition,
benefits, scenarios, functions, and principles.

2.1.1 Definition
Remote notification allows the system to send messages remotely.
After you set communication parameters for the SMSGW, SMS modem, or mail server, the
system supports automatic sending of SMS messages and emails. You can also set SMS
message and email recipients and message content templates, and view and export notification
logs using remote notification.

2.1.2 Benefits
To meet O&M requirements, Remote Notification automatically sends service information,
such as alarms and reports.
Remote Notification provides the message sending function, and O&M personnel can set the
message content and message sending rules as required. In this way, the system can send
alarms and reports to relevant personnel in a timely manner and in the form of SMs or emails
based on the set message content and message sending rules. Therefore, the notified personnel
can take measures to handle those alarms and reports.

2.1.3 Scenarios
Remote Notification allows the system to send emails or SMS messages. When network
O&M personnel are during non-working time or business trips and need to send some
notifications, they need to use Remote Notification to send messages.
If network O&M personnel cannot view alarms or reports onsite in a timely manner during
non-working time or business trips, the alarms and reports are sent to them in the form of
emails or SMS messages.
After setting Notifications parameters, O&M personnel set the message content and message
sending rules. Then, the system automatically sends alarms and reports to relevant personnel
in the form of SMS messages or emails through its interconnected short message service
gateway (SMSGW) or mail server.

3 FARS

3.1 FARS Overview


This section describes the features and technical specifications of FARS.

3.1.1 Introduction to the FARS Function


When a UE service is faulty, OM engineers need to quickly locate and rectify the fault. The
U2020 provides the Fault Assistant Resolved Solution (FARS) function to help OM engineers
collect the raw signaling data of a specified object and range. The data post-analysis function
of FARS helps OM engineers filter and analyze the collected raw data so that they can locate
the fault within the shortest time.

NOTE

If the EOX date of a third-party software release (such as the browser) you have deployed on your PC is
earlier than that of the product, upgrade the software to a version that spans the product lifecycle to
ensure network security.

Overview
As a function of the U2020, the FARS consists of the graphical user interface (GUI) for
tracing signaling and the signaling trace service, namely, FarsService. Running on the U2020
server as an independent service, the FarsService provides GUIs for users to process services,
manage collection tasks, and monitor collection tasks.

The FARS provides the data collection and data analysis functions to help OM engineers
locate faults. Data collection depends on the trace or monitoring tasks created on the U2020
client. When creating trace or monitoring tasks, OM engineers need to specify the information
about the object to be traced or monitored and the information about the NE related to the
object. For example, when creating a UE trace task, OM engineers need to specify the UE
identity, such as the IMSI. When creating a cell trace task, OM engineers need to specify the
cell information such as the cell ID. Based on the preset task information, the U2020 collects
data such as the signaling interacted between NEs, internal NE messages, NE resource usage,
and traffic. In addition, the U2020 displays the collected data on the U2020 client for OM
engineers to check or export. The FARS provides various post-analysis functions for collected
data, such as message comparison and message filtering. These functions help OM engineers
locate faults.

Issue 05 (2019-09-05) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 192


U2020
Fault Management User Guide 3 FARS

NOTE

In the event of a subscriber service fault, to locate the fault cause as soon as possible, FARS helps O&M
engineers collect raw signaling data of a specified object and scope and analyzes the data. The data is
saved as files on the U2020 server or recorded in a database. If FARS tasks are deleted manually or due
to timeout, the data will be deleted accordingly. Data collected for FARS tasks may involve personal
data of subscribers, such as IMEISV, IMEI, MSISDN, MS IP address, IMSI, location information in the
MDT, client user name, client IP address, and client MAC address. To prevent personal data from
disclosure, you are advised to delete the data after it is used. In addition, FARS provides the
pseudonymization function and NEs provide the function of pseudonymizing security-sensitive data
source. If the pseudonymization function is enabled, FARS encrypts IMSIs and IMEIs using HMAC-
SHA256 and does not encrypt location information and unit ID. For eNodeBs and pico base stations,
FARS encrypts their IP addresses using HMAC-SHA256 or stores the last 16 bits of the IP addresses.
You are advised to conform to laws and regulations in related countries and take adequate measures to
protect personal data.

Application Scenario
The FARS provides various trace or monitoring functions. When processing service problems,
such as multiple call drops, poor-quality handovers, and poor quality of voice services, or
when the rate of a data service is low or a data service is unavailable, OM engineers can
customize different policies based on site requirements.

Issue 05 (2019-09-05) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 193


U2020
Fault Management User Guide 3 FARS

Type Application Scenario

Trace l Locating link faults


To locate link faults when NEs fail to be interconnected initially, field
engineers can create a link trace task on the U2020 and check whether the
negotiated link parameters of NEs are consistent or whether the link data
is correct.
l Handling complaints of subscribers
When using radio network services, subscribers file complaints related to
quality of service (QoS) if the services do not meet the requirements. In
such a case, OM engineers can create a trace on the U2020 to analyze the
signaling of standard interfaces during a call or analyze the cell data to
locate and rectify network faults.
l Testing networks
If a new device is used, the new device needs to be tested whether it meets
the requirement of each test item. Field engineers can create a trace on the
U2020 and then collect the data generated during the drive test to check
whether the existing network meets the requirements.
l Locating UE faults
When a UE is faulty, OM engineers can create a trace on the U2020 to
obtain the signaling during a call.
l Checking the radio coverage of BTSs
To check whether the radio coverage of BTSs meets the network design
requirements, field engineers can create a trace task on the U2020 during
the drive test. By collecting the data generated during the drive test, field
engineers can check whether the radio coverage rate meets the
requirements.
l Testing new network features
When applying a new feature in an area, network planning engineers can
create a trace on the U2020 to test the implementation of the feature. The
new network feature may be an optimized algorithm or an optimized
network architecture.
l Identifying interworking call failures for a convergent GMSC
When interworking calls between a local network with another carrier's
network using the convergent GMSC fails, and a large number of calls
fail, you can create trace tasks on the U2020 to collect trace messages of a
single user or interface trace messages between NEs for fault
identification.

Monitorin l Monitoring device status in the event of heavy traffic


g The device status in scenarios of heavy traffic, such as during holidays
and festivals, is monitored, helping identify and handle exceptions in time.
l Checking the alarm recovery status after handling NE alarms
After handling alarms such as high CPU usage and over-high board
temperature, OM engineers can check the alarm recovery status using the
monitoring function.
l Monitoring resource usage
OM engineers can monitor the TRX performance, MAC error frames, IP
packet loss, and status of links on the air interface to evaluate network
status and adjust network parameters in time.

Trace or Monitoring Principles


Figure 3-1 shows the interactions between the U2020 and NEs after a trace or monitoring
task is created.

Figure 3-1 Trace or monitoring principles

1. The U2020 issues the predefined trace or monitoring task parameters in commands to an
NE. After the commands are issued successfully, a corresponding trace or monitoring
task is registered on the NE.
If multiple NEs to be traced/monitored are defined in a trace or monitoring task, the
U2020 issues the commands to all the NEs defined in the task.
2. Based on the trace or monitoring parameters, the NE that receives the commands
identifies the targets to be traced/monitored, such as interfaces, cells, subscribers, boards,
and links.
If the NE determines that this trace or monitoring task requires another NE, it issues the
commands for registering this trace or monitoring task to the target NE.
3. The NE that receives the trace or monitoring task periodically collects trace or
monitoring data.
4. The NE reports the trace or monitoring result to the U2020 as a file or message.
5. The U2020 parses the trace or monitoring result and then saves the parsing result to the
database. OM engineers can check the result on the U2020 client.

3.1.2 Task Description of FARS


This section describes types and states of U2020 tasks. The system collects signaling data or
resource data from the network based on tracing/monitoring tasks created on the U2020
client.

Task Type
l Tasks are classified into trace tasks and monitoring tasks based on the application
scenarios and traced/monitored objects.
– Trace tasks are used to collect information such as the signaling interacted between
NEs, and messages inside NEs. The collected information is used to locate network
faults. Trace tasks are classified into UE trace tasks, cell trace tasks, and other trace
tasks. The icons for these trace tasks are , , and , respectively.
– Monitoring tasks are used to collect NE data such as resource usage and traffic data.
The collected data is used to check the usage of device resources. The icon for the
monitoring tasks is .
l Tasks are classified into server tasks, client tasks, and collection tasks based on
execution modes.
– Server task: The U2020 server analyzes the data reported by NEs and then saves the
data into the server database. The execution of server tasks affects system
performance.
– Client task: The U2020 server sends the data reported by NEs to the U2020 client
without analyzing the data. The U2020 client analyzes the data and saves the
analyzed data in a specified directory on the client. The execution of client tasks has
a relatively small impact on server performance. A client task is visible only on the
client where the task is created. When the U2020 client is logged out, tasks are
stopped and task data is deleted from the U2020 client. You are advised to export
client tasks before shutting down the client. If you want to view the client tasks,
import them into the U2020 or into the Traffic Recording Review Tool delivered
with NEs.
– Collection task: The U2020 server saves data reported by NEs in a specified
directory on the server based on the following rules without analyzing the data. The
execution of collection tasks has small impact on server performance. You are not
allowed to view or analyze data of a collection task directly. For a task that can also
be created as a server task, after the task is executed, you can convert the collection
task into a server task to view the task. You can also export the collection task and
then import it into the U2020 or the Traffic Recording Review Tool delivered with
NEs when you want to view the task. For a task that can only be created as a
collection task (excluding LTE cell trace tasks, whose results are queried using Cell
Trace Browse), after the task is executed, you can only export the task and import
it into the Traffic Recording Review Tool delivered with NEs when you want to
view the task.
The rules for saving collection task data are as follows:
n NEs report data in files. The U2020 server saves the files.
n NEs report data in messages. The U2020 server saves the messages as a TMF
file when more than 5000 messages are reported or when 15 minutes have
elapsed since last save operation.

State Description

Suspended A task is automatically terminated and is in the Suspended state if the


communication between the U2020 server and an NE is abnormal due to
problems, such as NE disconnection and deletion during the task startup.
NOTE
If the server task, collection task, and server import task are in the Suspended state
and reach the task retention period, they are automatically deleted, as described in
Automatically Deleting the Tasks in the Suspended and Finished States. The
automatically deleted suspended task does not include the task that is directly
suspended without running after being created successfully.

Running After being started successfully, a task is in the Running state.

Stopping You can manually stop a running task. After you run the command for
stopping a task, the task is in the Stopping state during the termination of
the interaction between the U2020 and the NE.

Finished A task is in the Finished state after it stops normally or abnormally.


NOTE
If the server task, collection task, and server import task are in the Finished state
and reach the task retention period, they are automatically deleted, as described in
Automatically Deleting the Tasks in the Suspended and Finished States.

Preparing After a collection task stops, you can convert the collection task into a
analysis server task to view the task result. Before the conversion, the task is in the
Preparing analysis state.

Analyzing After a collection task stops, you can convert the collection task into a
server task to view the task result. During the conversion, the task is in the
Analyzing state.

Error If an exception occurs on the U2020 server during the import or export of
a task, the tasks on the File Transfer tab page are in the Error state.

Cancel If you manually stop the import or export when a task is being imported
or exported, the tasks on the File Transfer tab page are in the Cancel
state.

3.2.1 Configuring the Pseudonymous Policy and Pseudonymity


Key
You can enable or disable the pseudonymous policy on the U2020. You can also change the
pseudonymity key for the pseudonymous policy algorithm on the U2020. To ensure data
security, you are advised to change the pseudonymity key periodically.

Context
l You need to have the operation permissions of Pseudonymization Policy Management.
l After you set the pseudonymous policy, the U2020 delivers the policy to all NEs it
manages.
l The pseudonymous policies and pseudonymity keys on the same network must be
consistent. Otherwise, the trace or monitoring results will be abnormal. If there are
multiple U2020 systems on the network, you must manually verify that the
pseudonymous policies and pseudonymity keys set on these U2020 systems are
consistent. If you cannot determine whether the pseudonymity keys are consistent,
deliver a new pseudonymity key to all these U2020 systems by following the instructions
provided in Change the pseudonymity key for the pseudonymous policy.
l The pseudonymous policy is disabled by default. When this policy is enabled, the U2020
delivers the default pseudonymity key to NEs. To change the pseudonymity key, go to
Change the pseudonymity key for the pseudonymous policy. To enable or disable the
pseudonymous policy again, go to Enable/Disable the pseudonymous policy. To use

Detail UE Trace Compared with the standard UE trace, detailed


UE trace is used to trace signaling of a specified
UE under an RNC and its NodeBs. This trace
can collect both the standard signaling messages
and the signaling messages in user planes and
control planes.
The results of the detailed UE trace are saved on
the U2020 server. You need to export the results
to a local PC and then use the trace reviewer to
view them.

Standard Cell Trace The standard cell trace is used to sample cell-
related calls. The contents to be sampled are the
standard signaling messages that are generated
during multiple calls and then reported by an
RNC. You can specify the maximum number of
calls to be collected at a time before starting a
trace.
Assume that the maximum number of calls to be
collected at a time is N. If the number of the calls
that are being traced is N, the U2020 does not
trace new calls. If the number of the calls that are
being traced is less than N due to call
termination, the U2020 automatically traces new
calls.
When creating the cell trace, you can set the
feature parameters such as the RAB and RRC
parameters for the calls to be traced. The U2020
traces the calls that meet the preset conditions.

Detail Cell Trace The detailed cell trace is used to sample calls
under one RNC and its NodeBs. The detailed cell
trace can collect both the standard signaling
messages and the signaling messages in user
planes and control planes.
When creating the detailed cell trace, you can set
feature parameters for the calls to be traced. This
operation is the same as that in the creation of
the standard cell trace. You do not need to type
UE identities for detailed cell trace. The U2020
randomly selects UEs for trace according to the
preset conditions.
The results of the detailed cell trace are saved on
the U2020 server. You need to export the results
to a local PC and then use the trace reviewer to
view them.

The numerals shown in Figure 3-10 are described as follows:


1. The U2020 delivers trace commands to the SAE-HSS/HSS9860 (for single-subscriber
trace initiated by the SAE-HSS/HSS9860) or MME (for single-subscriber trace initiated
by the MME) through the management links to create, query, and delete trace tasks.
2. The SAE-HSS/HSS9860 (for single-subscriber trace initiated by the SAE-HSS/
HSS9860) or MME (for single-subscriber trace initiated by the MME) broadcasts the
trace control parameters to the SGW, PGW, or eNodeB through the signaling links.
3. The MME, SGW, PGW, or eNodeB performs subscriber trace and reports the trace
results to the U2020 for display through the trace data links.

U2020
Fault Management User Guide 3 FARS

Context
If the maximum number of a certain task type is not reached, you can create a task of this
type. Otherwise, no task of this type can be created. You need to wait till the task of this type
is complete or manually delete the task so that you can create a task.

The database and disk space usage affects the number of available tasks. Due to the restriction
of the system performance protection mechanism on the U2020, the U2020 displays a
message, stating that no new task can be created when Database usage or Disk usage is 80%
or greater. In such a case, you can create new tasks only after the performance recovers.
Create tasks as prompted.

You can perform the following steps to query specification of various available tasks for the
current U2020 server type. For details about specifications of all the U2020 server types, see
FARS tab page in U2020 Technical Specifications in U2020 Product Documentation.

Procedure
Step 1 Choose Monitor > Signaling Trace > Signaling Trace Task Statistics. The Signaling Trace
Task Statistics window is displayed.

You can click Refresh to refresh the numbers of various available tasks in the U2020 system.

----End

3.3.1.4 Creating a Trace Task


You can create trace tasks to collect the signaling messages generated during a call or when
subscribers use data services. In this way, you can analyze the signaling messages to locate
problems.

Prerequisites
l The NEs have been added to the U2020.
l You are authorized to manage specific tasks.
l The NEs have been configured with numbers to be traced.
l You must learn whether the task to be created reaches the upper limit of the
corresponding task type. If the upper limit is reached, a task of this type cannot be
created. You can query specifications of various tasks for the current U2020 server type
and the numbers of various available tasks in the U2020 system by referring to 3.3.1.3
Querying the Number of Various Available Tasks.
l If you start LTE Minimization of Drive Tests (MDT) collection on the U2020, you must
add the mapping between the Trace Collection Entity (TCE) ID and TCE IP address on
the eNodeB. The mapping ensures that collected information is sent to the specified trace
server. For detailed operations, see 3.3.4.6 Configuring MDT Trace Server.

Context
When creating trace tasks for RNCs in RNC in POOL mode, you are advised to set U2020
server or the third-party FTP server to a relay server. Otherwise, no data can be traced.

3.3.1.8.8 Summarizing the Causes of GSM Call Drops


Through the U2020, you can obtain the abnormal signaling messages that cause call drops
during a GSM trace task. You can also view the measurement report before and after a call
drop and view the related information about the call drop. In addition, you can view all the
signaling messages of the call when a call drop occurs so that you can quickly locate faults.

Prerequisites
The trace tasks that already collect the messages are available on the U2020.

Context
You can collect the statistics of call drops of the GSM CS UE trace and cell trace. During a
call, the U2020 determines that the call drop occurs when one of the following signaling
messages is generated:
l Error Indication message
After an MS is in normal conversation on the traffic channel, the BTS sends an Error
Indication message to the BSC owing to a radio link fault or a hardware fault.
l Connection Failure message
When establishing a data link in multiframe mode, the BTS receives a DISC frame from
an MS and sends the Connection Failure message to the BSC.
l Clear Request message
If the BSC has not received any measurement report for a specified period (5 minutes by
default), it sends a Clear Request message to the MSC for releasing the call.
For a data collection task of which the Source column in the task list of the Signaling Trace
Management window is Collection, you need to convert the task to the server task before

To ensure the security of subscribers' sensitive information such as IMSI, IMEI, and MSISDN
during signaling tracing, the U2020 provides the pseudonymous policy. If the anonymous
policy has been enabled, the function of exporting the LTE/EPC End-to-End User Trace
messages remains pseudonymous, otherwise non-pseudonymous. For how to enable/disable
the pseudonymous policy, see Configuring the Pseudonymous Policy and Anonymity Key.

Procedure
l Export an LTE/EPC End-to-End User Trace task.
a. Choose Monitor > Signaling Trace > Signaling Trace Management from the
main menu.
b. In the navigation tree, select LTE/EPC End-to-End User Trace under Trace Type
> LTE/EPC.
c. Select a task to export from the trace task list, and then click Export in the lower
pane.
d. In the displayed Export File dialog box, set Export Mode and File Type and then
specify the export path.
n Separate files by NE: The U2020 will export the trace messages of one NE
type into one file.
n Merge base station files by: The U2020 will export the trace messages of all
base stations of the selected version into one file. For the other NEs involved
in the virtual UE trace task, the U2020 will export the trace messages of one
NE type into one file.
n File Type: You can set this parameter to TMF or ZIP.
NOTE

l Each tmf format file saves a maximum of 50,000 messages. If the number of messages
in an export task is greater than 50,000, more than one file is created.
l The name of the export file is reported by NEs and cannot be manually modified.
l The LTE/EPC End-to-End User Trace and LTE Virtual UE Trace data may be from
NEs of different versions. However, the offline analysis tool cannot parse NE data of
different versions in the same file, and therefore, you are advised to export data by NE
version.

1 Cell display legend: the max value indicates how many times the most frequent value
combination appears. Based on the percentage of times of value combination to the max
value, the U2020 uses different colors to fill corresponding cells according to defined
legends. You can explicitly analyze the distribution of value combinations through the cell
colors and the max value.

2 Vertical coordinate: refers to the measured values of comparison counters Y.

3 Value combination of comparison counters: refers to the value combination of comparison


counter X and comparison counter Y. The cell color of value combination of comparison
counters is dependent on the percentage of times of value combination to the max value. For
description of comparison counters, see .3.3.3.1.6 Parameters for Measurement Counters
of an MR
For example, comparison counter X = -58, Y = -65, and the times of the value combination
is 861. The value equals the max value. Based on the legend of the maximum value, the
color of this cell is black. If you move the cursor to the corresponding cell, information
similar to Value:(-58,-65,100) is displayed. In the message, -58 indicates the horizontal
coordinate, -65 indicates the vertical coordinate, and 100 indicates the maximum occurrence
probability (100%).

Parameter Description

User ID NOTE
l The system will encrypt subscriber information such as international
mobile subscriber identity (IMSI), international mobile equipment identity
(IMEI), mobile station international ISDN number (MSISDN), and Media
Access Control (MAC) address when the pseudonymous policy is enabled.
In this situation, enter the encrypted IDs during task creation. Before the
pseudonymous policy is enabled, enter the IMSI, IMEI, and MSISDN in
decimal format. After the pseudonymous policy is enabled, enter the IMSI,
IMEI, and MSISDN in hexadecimal format. The MAC address must be
entered in hexadecimal format before and after the pseudonymous policy is
enabled. For details about the pseudonymous policy, see 3.2
Pseudonymization Policy Management.
l When you perform a UE trace using any type of the subscriber numbers
(MSISDN, IMSI, IMEI, and TMSI), you will obtain the same trace result.
l If you type multiple UE numbers to be traced when creating GSM CS UE
trace tasks in batches, U2020 creates one trace task for each UE number.
To set this parameter, perform the following operations:
1. Select the numbering scheme from the drop-down list. The
numbering scheme can be MSISDN, IMSI, IMEI, or TMSI.
l When you trace user messages using the MSISDN (you are
advised to trace the calling ID through the called ID):
– If you trace the calling party, the MSISDN is the called ID,
indicating the ID that the MS calls. For example, if the MS
calls 12345, the MSISDN is 12345.
– If you trace the called party, the MSISDN is the calling ID.
The MS must be enabled with caller ID display. If 54331 is
displayed on the MS, specify the MSISDN with 54321; if
8654321 is displayed on the MS, specify the MSISDN with
8654321.
l If you trace user messages using the temporary mobile
subscriber identities (TMSI) or IMSI, you must determine the
reassignment policy on the MSC side.
– If TMSI is carried, you can trace the MS using the TMSI.
– If IMSI is carried, you can trace the MS using the IMSI.
l If you trace user messages using the IMEI, you must determine
whether the IMEI is available to the MSC.
2. Enter a specific UE number in the User ID text box. To create
trace tasks in batches, you can type multiple UE numbers and use
SBC commas to separate the numbers.
The subscriber numbers are described as follows:
If Enable pseudonymization policy is deselected:

The U2020 provides the function of querying UMTS trace and monitoring data. This section
describes the interface for viewing UMTS trace data. You can learn about the components of
this interface and the function of each component.

Issue 05 (2019-09-05) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 544


U2020
Fault Management User Guide 3 FARS

The interfaces of UMTS trace/monitoring query results are as follows:


l Standard UE Trace
l Multi-RAT Coordinated Trace
l Standard Cell/Interface Trace
l UMTS Virtual UE Trace

NOTE

l The U2020 does not parse and save the result files of the detailed UE trace and detailed cell trace in
the database. Therefore, the results of the two cells are not displayed on the U2020 client. You can
view these two tasks only on the Traffic Recording Review Tool. You can export these trace tasks
from the U2020 server and then import them into the tool.
l Subscriber Identity in UMTS trace results specifies UTRAN Radio Network Temporary Identity
(URNTI).
l For Standard Cell Trace and Detail Cell Trace, if multiple trace tasks for which the same parameters
are set are started (for example, the tasks are created by copying a started task), and the trace tasks
are of the same type, the trace messages of a subscriber can be traced and displayed by only one
trace task because the different task traces different subscribers within a cell.

1. Call procedure: You can view signaling interactions between all the NEs during the whole
call procedure. After selecting a message in the call procedure, you can view the details
about the selected message in the message browse table.
NOTE
During the UE trace, the terminal UE is in the mobile state. Thus, the NEs that report signaling messages
may not be managed by the U2020. Thus, when NEs report signaling messages, the Destination
Signaling Points (DSPs) instead of the NE names are displayed in the call flow chart.

3.3.3.18.3 Multi-RAT Coordinated Trace


This section describes the parameters for Multi-RAT Coordinated Trace. With the three
licenses for Multi-RAT Coordinated Trace covering the GBSS, WRAN, and FDD/TDD
networks, the Multi-RAT Coordinated Trace can trace the service conditions of a single
subscriber moving among the NEs of the GBSS, WRAN, and FDD/TDD networks. If the
license for Multi-RAT Coordinated Trace does not cover a networking mode, the Multi-RAT
Coordinated Trace cannot trace the NEs of the corresponding networking mode and the
corresponding parameters are unavailable in the GUI.

Issue 05 (2019-09-05) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 641


U2020
Fault Management User Guide 3 FARS

Application Scenario
Multi-RAT Coordinated Trace can trace service status of a single subscribers across the GUL
networks and help identify exceptions in time and quickly locate network faults in the Circuit
Switched Fallback (CSFB) scenario. Multi-RAT Coordinated Trace also can locate and
analyze the problems caused by voice service handover between the GSM and UMTS
network.
Multi-RAT Coordinated Trace integrates the GSM CS UE Trace, UMTS Standard UE Trace,
LTE Virtual UE Trace, and LTE Standard CDT Trace functions and provides unified operation
GUIs. It allows users to select multiple GBSCs, RNCs, and eNodeBs during task creation, to
trace signaling across intra-RAT NEs and inter-RAT NEs in case of call handover, and to view
message interaction of subscribers on different networks on the same GUI, which ensures the
trace integrity.

NOTE

Multi-RAT Coordinated Trace is mainly used to locate the movement of a single subscriber across the
GUL networks. If a fault occurs, such as in the handover scenario, create a GSM CS UE Trace, UMTS
Standard UE Trace, LTE Virtual UE Trace, or LTE Standard CDT Trace task to issue the trace task
to a single-mode NE.

Service Impact

3.3.3.18.4 Cell Trace


Cell Trace is used to trace the signaling and MRs of multiple calls served by a cell within a
specified time segment. You can analyze the trace results to troubleshoot the cell and optimize
cell performance.

l For the LTE Cell Trace tasks whose status are running, if Error Cause is TS service
error, please check, the task cannot be stopped manually. In this case, restore the Trace
Server service quickly. The U2020 cannot issue the command of stopping data collection
to the Trace Server due to an error in the Trace Server service. As a result, the collection
task continues running on the Trace Server. If you manually stop the task on the U2020,
the collected data cannot be reported to the U2020 after the Trace Server service is
restored. To prevent data loss, do not manually stop the task.
l If you want to start Logged MDT collection, set Trace Depth to Medium when creating
a Cell Trace task and select the PERIOD_LOGGED_MDT_MEASUREMENT or
LOGGED_MEASUREMENT event. Select the correct event name because the event
name varies slightly according to the NE version. Before starting Logged MDT
collection, you must add the mapping between the TCE ID and TCE IP address on the
eNodeB so that NEs can recognize the TCE IP address. For detailed operations, see
3.3.4.6 Configuring MDT Trace Server.
l After the Cell Trace is stopped on the U2020, the Trace Server needs to wait for NEs to
report result data, which takes about 5 minutes. In this case, the task status is Finished
on the U2020. However, if you restart the task immediately, an error message will be
displayed. Wait for about 5 minutes and then try to restart the task.
l You need to view Cell Trace results by creating a Cell Trace browse task. For detailed
operations, see 3.3.1.7 Querying Trace Data.

Fault Management User Guide 3 FARS

l Currently, the MMEs of some vendors cannot process Cell Traffic Trace messages over
the S1 interface or some operators do not have the requirement of using the Cell Traffic
Trace messages. Therefore, to prevent exceptions from occurring on the MME that
cannot process Cell Traffic Trace messages and reduce the signaling overhead over the
S1 interface after the Cell Trace function is enabled, you can run the MML commands to
disable the function of sending Cell Traffic Trace messages to the MME by the base
station by default. For details about the mechanism of triggering Cell Traffic Trace
messages by the Cell Trace function, see related sections in 3GPP TS 32.422.

NOTE

l Subscription to medium-level and maximum-level periodic intra-frequency MR events involves


adding air-interface MR messages. The intra-frequency MR events include
PERIOD_INTRA_FREQ_MEASUREMENT, PERIOD_INTRA_FREQ_MR_MDT,
PERIOD_A2_EVENT_MDT, and PERIOD_INTRAFREQ_MEASCONFIG. If configured UEs are
excessive and measurement periods are excessively short, air-interface message processing may be
affected. You are advised to set the number of UEs to a value ranging from 1 to 100 and set the
measurement period to a value greater than or equal to 10240 (ms).
l Subscription to medium-level and maximum-level periodic inter-frequency/RAT MR events
involves the UE GAP mode. The inter-frequency MR events include
PERIOD_INTER_FREQ_MEASUREMENT, PERIOD_INTER_FREQ_MR_MDT, and
PERIOD_INTERFREQ_MEASCONFIG. The inter-RAT MR events include
PERIOD_INTER_RAT_MEASUREMENT and PERIOD_INTERRAT_MEASCONFIG. In GAP
mode, UEs cannot be scheduled, thereby affecting services.
l Subscription to miscellaneous medium-level and maximum-level periodic events does not affect
UEs and air interfaces. The miscellaneous events include
PERIOD_PRIVATE_UE_MEASUREMENT, PERIOD_PRIVATE_UE_MEASUREMENT_MDT,
PERIOD_PRIVATE_THROUGHPUT_MEASUREMENT_MDT, and
PERIOD_PRIVATE_MEASUREMENT. However, frequent measurement of periodic counters on
eNodeBs may increase eNodeB CPU loads, affecting product specifications. You are advised to set
the number of UEs to a value ranging from 1 to 100 and set the measurement period to a value
greater than or equal to 10240 (ms).

Table 3-154 Description of Cell Trace


Field Description

Trace name Name of a Cell Trace task.

Cell-level traced UE count Number of UEs to be traced in each cell.


The value range is from 0 to 400. 0
indicates that all UEs in each cell are to be
traced.
For eRAN7.0 and later versions, this
parameter is available. For versions earlier
than eRAN7.0, this parameter is
unavailable.
NOTE
The more the number of UEs to be traced
concurrently, the greater the impact on system
performance and subscriber services.

Field Description

Cell trace ID Cell trace ID that identifies a trace task. It


can be number that is not used within the
value range, and it must be unique on the
entire network.
Value range: 0-16777215 (3 bytes)
The cell trace ID of Cell Trace is mapped
onto the Trace ID in the E-UTRAN trace ID
information element (IE) in CELL
TRAFFIC TRACE part of 3GPP TS 36.413.
For details about the cell trace ID, see the
trace ID part in 3GPP TS 32.422.
NOTE
For LTE Cell Trace tasks, the eNodeB reports log
files to the U2020 every five minutes. After an
LTE trace task stops, the cell trace ID is reserved
for about five minutes to ensure that no log file
for the task is lost. To use the cell trace ID to
create a task, you must wait for at least 5
minutes.
If you select the
PERIOD_LOGGED_MDT_MEASUREMEN
T event for a Cell Trace task with the trace depth
set to Medium, you must wait for 48 hours plus
5 minutes after the task stops to use the cell trace
ID to create a task. The event name varies
slightly according to the NE version.

TCE IP(IPV4) IP address of a trace collection entity


(TCE). The default IP address is 0.0.0.0.
If users do not need to specify TCE IP, the
default IP address is issued. The Cell Trace
data is saved on the Trace Server by default.
If the Logged MDT event is enabled, TCE
IP must be consistent with TCE mapping
configured in the MML commands of the
eNodeB. You can type LST
TCEIPMAPPING to query TCE mapping.
For scenarios where southbound and
northbound networks are isolated, type the
obtained southbound or northbound IP
address in this field.
The TCE IP address must be configured
when Trace Depth is set to Maximal,
Medium, or Minimal.

3.3.3.18.22 User Detail Trace


User Detail TraceThese traces are used to trace control-plane messages of a specified UE in
an eNodeB based on the MME and TMSI or random value carried by the UE when accessing
the network, to trace information of a specified UE on the entire network, including S1, X2
and Uu interface information at the control plane and data transmission statistics at the user
plane, and to trace the UE data messages at the user plane of a specified UE. This traced
information can be used to locate the exception generated during the subscriber process.

NOTE

When creating a task and selecting a UEID type, you can enter a maximum of five groups of parameters
and separate them with slashes (/). In this way, multiple tasks can be created at the same time.
l This trace is used to collect information on the LTE network. This trace involves a large amount of
data and has impact on the performance of NEs and the U2020. You are advised to use this trace
under the assistance of Huawei technical support engineers.
l You can view the trace tasks for LTE information collection only on the Traffic Recording Review

3.3.3.20.2 Cell Trace


Cell Trace is used to trace the signaling and MRs of multiple calls served by a cell within a
specified time segment. You can analyze the trace results to troubleshoot the cell and optimize
cell performance.

l For the eRelay Cell Trace tasks whose status are running, if Error Cause is TS service
error, please check, the task cannot be stopped manually. In this case, restore the Trace
Server service quickly. The U2020 cannot issue the command of stopping data collection
to the Trace Server due to a error in the Trace Server service. As a result, the collection
task continues running on the Trace Server. If you manually stop the task on the U2020,
the collected data cannot be reported to the U2020 after the Trace Server service is
restored. To prevent data loss, do not manually stop the task.
l After the Cell Trace is stopped on the U2020, the Trace Server needs to wait for NEs to
report result data, which takes about 5 minutes. In this case, the task status is Finished
on the U2020. However, if you restart the task immediately, an error message will be
displayed. Wait for about 5 minutes and then try to restart the task.

3.3.3.27 Parameters for Tracing NR


This section describes how to use trace functions for locating problems on the network and
how to view trace results. It also describes the application scenarios, interface settings, and
precautions related to the trace functions. Parameters or parameter values supported by some
track tasks may vary, subject to NE types and versions. This section provides all parameters of
tasks for reference, and you can use the parameters based on actual situations.
You can create a task by setting this parameter to STMSI, Random value, Trace reference
No., 5G-Random value, and 5G-STMSI. The value of UEID type varies depending on
application scenarios and restrictions.
l STMSI and Random value: You can select a maximum of 100 NEs of the same version
when creating a task using STMSI or Random value. If the specified UE is handed over
successfully among the selected NEs over the X2 or S1 interface, the trace task can
continually collect data of this UE. If a gNodeB is not within the selected NE range after
the handover, U2020 cannot continually collect data. Even if the UE is handed over to a
gNodeB within the selected NE range thereafter, U2020 still cannot continuously collect
data.
l Trace reference No.
– The prerequisites for issuing a task using Trace reference No.: The core network of
any manufacturer supports the IMSI-based single-user whole network trace function
(complying with the 3GPP TS 32.422 protocol) and the trace task has been initiated.
For example, the LTE/EPC End-to-End User Trace task has been executed on the
Huawei core network.
– You can select a maximum of 100 NEs of the same version when creating a trace
and monitoring task using Trace reference No.. If a specified UE is handed over
between selected NEs, U2020 can continually collect data.
– If a gNodeB is not within the selected NE range after the handover, U2020 cannot
continually collect data and then can collect data when the specified UE is handed
over to a selected gNodeB.
l 5G-STMSI and 5G-Random value: You can select a maximum of 500 NEs of the same
version when creating a task using 5G-STMSI or 5G-Random value. If the specified
UE is handed over successfully among the selected NEs over the Xn interface, the trace
task can continually collect data of this UE. If a gNodeB is not within the selected NE
range after the handover, U2020 cannot continually collect data. Even if the UE is

NR Virtual UE Trace is a special UE trace. In the trace, gNodeBs to which traced UEs
belongs are unknown, and the AMF may not be managed by U2020. To enable NR Virtual
UE Trace, issue single-UE trace tasks on the CN OSS to CN based on 3GPP TS38.422. If the
CN uses Huawei devices, create a network-wide trace task on the U2020 that manages the
devices.

3.3.3.27.13 User Detail Trace


User Detail Trace is used to trace control-plane messages of a specified UE in a gNodeB
based on the MME and TMSI or random value carried by the UE during access to the
network, to trace information of a specified UE on the entire network, including X2, Uu, and
gNodeB-CU F1 interface information at the control plane and data transmission statistics at
the user plane, and to trace the UE data messages at the user plane of a specified UE. The
traced information can be used to locate the exception generated during the subscriber
process.

unknown, and the MME is not managed by the current U2020. NSA Virtual UE Trace can be
started only after you issue related trace tasks to the core network through the CN U2020
based on 3GPP TS 32.422. If the core network uses Huawei devices, create LTE/EPC end-to-
end user trace tasks on the related CN U2020.

Precautions
NSA virtual UE trace tasks cannot be displayed on the U2020 WebUI. However, the NR and
LTE virtual UE trace tasks which are created at the same time as NSA virtual UE trace tasks
are displayed. For details about NSA virtual UE trace specifications, refer to the NR or LTE
virtual UE trace specifications. U2020 supports a maximum of 120 NSA virtual UE trace
tasks. Each LTE or NR NE supports a maximum of 40 NSA virtual UE trace tasks. Only one

3.3.3.30 Parameters for Monitoring LTE


Performance monitoring is used to monitor the current running status of eNodeBs by using
U2020. Monitoring results are displayed in tables or charts. In this way, the running status of
system equipment and services can be monitored. Equipment can be maintained and faults
can be rectified by analyzing the exceptions shown in monitoring results. Parameters or
parameter values supported by some track tasks may vary, subject to NE types and versions.
This section provides all parameters of tasks for reference, and you can use the parameters
based on actual situations.
A carrier aggregation (CA) UE is able to access multiple cells simultaneously and report the
monitoring results of each cell at the same time. However, if a CA UE whose secondary
serving cell (SCell) is not configured or not activated, monitoring results in the SCell will not
be reported. If a monitoring item does not involve the CA feature, actual monitoring result of
the monitoring item is reported. In the inter-BBU CA scenario, multiple eNodeBs must be
selected for user-level monitoring items under a monitoring task.
UEID types are classified into STMSI, Random value, and User trace ID. The application
scenarios and usage restrictions of different UEID types vary. Select a UEID type to create
tasks based on actual situations.

Issue 05 (2019-09-05) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 1005


U2020
Fault Management User Guide 3 FARS

l STMSI and Random value:


– If the core network (CN) does not support the IMSI-based single-user whole
network trace function, you can perform the single-user whole network trace and
monitoring using STMSI or Random value for versions not earlier than eRAN6.0.
– For NEs whose versions are later than eRAN6.1: You can select a maximum of 100
NEs of the same version when creating a trace or monitoring task using STMSI or
Random value. If the specified subscriber is handed over successfully among the
selected NEs using the X2 or S1 interface, the trace and monitoring task can
continuously collect data of this subscriber. If the eNodeB after handover is not
within the selected NE range, the U2020 cannot continually collect data. Even if the
subscriber is handed over to an eNodeB within the selected NE range, the U2020
still cannot continually collect data.
– For eRAN6.0 version NEs: You can select a maximum of 100 NEs of the same
version when creating a trace or monitoring task using STMSI or Random value.
If the specified subscriber is handed over successfully among the selected NEs
using the X2 interface, the trace and monitoring task can continually collect data of
this subscriber.
– Due to the sequence problem, data may not be recorded completely during the
initial period when the subscriber is handed over to the target NE.
l Trace reference No.:
– Prerequisites for creating trace and monitoring tasks using Trace reference No.:
The core network of any manufacturer supports the IMSI-based single-user whole
network trace function (complying with the 3GPP TS 32.422 protocol) and the trace
task has been initiated. For example, the LTE/EPC End-to-End User Trace task
has been executed on the Huawei core network.
– You can select a maximum of 100 NEs of the same version when creating a trace or
monitoring task using Trace reference No.. If the specified subscriber is handed
over among the selected NEs, the U2020 can collect data continually.
– If the eNodeB after handover is not within the selected NE range, the U2020 cannot
continually collect data and then can collect data when the specified subscriber is
handed over to a selected eNodeB.

Time N/A N/A Time when a N/A


result is
generated on an
NE. The format
is MM/DD/
YYYY
HH:MM:SS
(Tick/MS).
Tick/MS is
timestamp that
can precisely
identify the
sequence in
which result is
generated on an
NE.
l Tick is a
timing
method
(unit: 10
ms).
l MS is
millisecond
for short
(unit: ms).
NOTE
If the sequence
of the messages
corresponding
to the collection
time is
inconsistent
with the actual
message
sequence, time
deviation occurs
in the messages
reported by NEs
because the
time between
the processes
for processing
the messages is
not
synchronized.
