1 NetAct capacity overview

1.1 Objective
This document provides NetAct capacity in terms of data handling and managed network element es-
timates. The capacity threshold for different NetAct variants are derived from tests performed in Nokia
testing Laboratories with NetAct software and simulated load.

NetAct Capacity threshold covers the following functionalities:

• Fault management
• Performance management
• Configuration management
• Software management
• TraceViewer
• User management
• Access Server and Element Manager launch (Node Manager Server)
• Northbound interface management

The capacity threshold does not include optional functionalities or customizations. Enabling those im-
pact NetAct capacity and have to be evaluated based on expected load and available resources. Net-
Act dimensioning and resource allocation does not consider performance impact of customizations.

1.2 Dimensioning principles

The NetAct configuration selection is done with a three year view of providing stable hardware. It is
recommended to renew the hardware as per the reference configuration. Performance degradation
may happen on older hardware.

The capacity threshold allows organic growth in resource needs due to new features and functional-
ities. It aligns with the industry best practices of not having high sustained loads greater than 70%. It
is driven by the size of the database needed to support the generated amount of PM data. While plan-
ning, the capacity threshold must be within 70% of the stated capacity as newer releases of network
element software will introduce more data.

Network elements covered for the current release are subject to the capacity statements and dimen-
sioning. For more information, see the NetAct and NetAct Cloud Compatibility Matrix document in Dis-
covery Center at https://doc.networks.nokia.com. Accessing the documentation in the portal requires
authentication. For custom network element integrations, contact Nokia to ensure that the dimension-
ing is done correctly.

NetAct Capacity and Performances DN1000077985 3-0 NetAct capacity overview

The capacity threshold factors are as follows:

• NetAct can accommodate hardware failures and planned upgrades (firmware, virtualization soft-
ware).
• NetAct can cope with spikes due to sudden increase in load or higher usage than usual.
• NetAct supports high availability requirements.
• Optional VMs need their own server and storage resources.

Hardware configuration is done for NetAct mandatory VMs. Optional nodes should not be created on
NetAct resource pools.

NetAct capacity is based on the following assumptions:

• The NetAct system has been commissioned or upgraded according to the NetAct installation or
upgrade instructions.
• NetAct hardware and DCN bandwidth requirements are fulfilled.
• Official procedures are followed to change the disk/storage or DCN layout with standard tem-
plates.
• Only software belonging to (or related to) NetAct is installed in the system.

1.2.1 Factors impacting capacity

The capacity of NetAct depends on several load factors and impact of each will vary depending on the
usage level. The following figure describes the most important factors.

Figure 1: Factors impacting NetAct system capacity

Capacity limits exist for each of these areas. From the system point of view, the first limit that is met
defines the capacity of the system.

NetAct Capacity and Performances DN1000077985 3-0 NetAct capacity overview

Performance management (PM) capacity is one of the most important factors for system capacity
because the volume of PM data coming to NetAct from the network elements (through southbound in-
terfaces) takes both processing power and disk space. There are several aspects of the PM data col-
lection that impact NetAct capacity:

• Number of measured network elements and network topology (number of managed objects).
• Number of enabled measurements and counters per measurement (volume of data).
• Measurement collection interval (volume of data).
• Capacity is measured by the number of PM counters per hour and incoming PM files per minute
(in case of RTPM).
• Data aggregation/KPI calculation (processing load).
• Report generation (processing and application load).
• NetAct dimensioning is performed by considering reference measurement set and default PM re-
tention.
• Performance testing considers default PM retention. Long-term retention increases the data
amount and performance cannot be guaranteed.
• Long-term storage of raw and hourly aggregated data for NetAct variants bigger than NetAct
Large configuration must be evaluated case by case depending on incoming data and retention
duration.
• Long-term storage of other aggregation levels (daily, weekly, and so on) should only be enabled by
consulting with Nokia. LTS needs cluster-specific dimensioning for capacity (disk space) and per-
formance (storage) based on the incoming data flows.

User load depends on the following:

• Number of users (concurrency)

• Applications launched by each user
• Number of user accounts in the system

First two define the compute or storage resource needs in terms of CPU, RAM, and disk space while
the third one defines the total disk space that is needed. It is possible to dimension the required NMS
users based on usage patterns.

Fault management (FM) capacity impacts system capacity by the number and complexity of filters
and rules applied, which create load on the FM pipe. In addition, the numbers of alarms and open
alarms in the database impact FM processing speed. The rate of incoming FM events impacts the ca-
pacity of the monitoring tools to display the alarm list with up-to-date status. It is expected to have de-
lays in alarm processing in case of burst and/or peak loads.

Configuration management (CM) impacts system capacity by the number and type of operations
performed and by the number of objects configured. Network-wide provisioning and upload operations
require more processing than smaller operations. Umbrella applications and SON features increase
the CM data flow towards NetAct and impact may be higher depending on network size, enabled SON
features, plan provisioning frequency, and synchronization between NetAct and SON applications.

NetAct Capacity and Performances DN1000077985 3-0 NetAct capacity overview

Northbound Interfaces (NBI) impacts system capacity by the number of interfaces configured and
the type of operations performed. The rate of outgoing events or files impacts the performance of the
NetAct cluster. Number of clients also influences northbound bandwidth requirement.

Hardware system capacity (server/storage) defines resource availability in terms of capacity and per-
formance. Different hardware models have different performance specifications. NetAct blueprint hard-
ware can accommodate three years of growth in resource needs in NetAct coming due to new fea-
tures, performance improvements, and so on. It is recommended to align with blueprint hardware for
NetAct releases to have optimum performance. Resources for optional nodes must not be allocated
from NetAct resource pools.

It is mandatory to follow the resource requirements as defined in the NetAct Node Architecture and
Resource Plan document in Discovery Center at https://doc.networks.nokia.com. Accessing the docu-
mentation in the portal requires authentication.

The following rules must be followed as large reports might take several hours to run:

• The reports must spread over the day so that the overlap of report execution is minimal.
• The concurrent execution of large or heavy reports must be reduced to minimum.
• There must not be more than two large and heavy reports running for each five minutes period.
• If large reports are to be executed, pre-aggregations must be enabled (through the Administration
of Aggregates application). Pre-aggregations need less virtual resources compared to aggrega-
tions executed in runtime.
• If aggregates are not used, a degradation in the range of 2x to 20x compared to the default usage
of aggregates can be expected depending on the nature of the reports.

2.2.2 Network element measurement weight

2.2.2.1 Overview of network element measurement weight

The measurements are indicative and the total performance management (PM) counters generated by
the network element and the weight of each measurement vary based on the following:

• Change in measurement interval and/or enablement of non-default measurements.

• Network topology is different from the one used for calculating weights.
• Change in network element version.

The network element measurement weight for each measurement relative to total PM counters per
hour produced by the network element is listed.

NetAct capacity estimation is calculated based on the reference measurement set, that is, some mea-
surements are by default considered as ON and the rest are OFF.

NetAct™ 22 FP2305 © 2023 Nokia. Nokia Confidential Information 16

Final Use subject to agreed restrictions on disclosure and use.
NetAct Capacity and Performances DN1000077985 3-0 Functionality specific thresholds

The reference measurement set is based on the feedback from several deployments. The reference
measurement set considers commonly used measurements, their intervals, and network topology.

For each measurement, based on the PM counters, the following information is listed:

• PM measurements
• Measurement ID
• Active state
• Time interval
• Weights

This chapter also describes the handling of PM data on different network element releases. This in-
cludes how the PM counters vary with reference and default measurement set enabled.

2.2.2.2 Performance measurement data calculation methodology

As part of system self-monitoring, performance management (PM) data is calculated and available for
reporting. The calculation is done for active measurements and for only those network elements where
measurements are active and received by NetAct. Network element version support is delivered in the
NetAct releases, Service Packages, and NetAct fast pass Service Packages. Based on the require-
ment, network element version support must be activated.

Typically, NetAct fast pass Service Package activation is needed only if the network element version is
planned to be upgraded.

After a certain network element version is activated in NetAct, PM counter calculation considers new
counters introduced for active measurements. This is calculated for all network elements which are
sending active measurements, even if the network element is in the previous version. This is because,
as part of the network element version support activation in NetAct, new "columns" in database are
created to enable counter insertion when the network element sends the data. In case of the absence
of such data, the new columns have a NULL value. PM counter calculation in self-monitoring counts
these NULL values.

Depending on the currently supported version in NetAct and the newly deployed version, the number
of counters may change as more counters get added to the existing measurement to support features
and functionalities. The amount of change also depends on how many measurements are active in a
network. If there are more measurements, the change is bigger. This reflects in the self-monitoring re-
ports and is to be viewed as a leading indicator for expected PM data when network element is updat-
ed.

2.2.2.3 Impact of changing default values

The reference measurement set is used to indicate the NetAct capacity to support a certain network
size. Changing defaults measurements increase performance management (PM) data towards NetAct.
Nokia recommends not to change the default measurement values by enabling heavy measurements
or by reducing the interval for the entire network.

2.2.2.4 Network element technologies

The following chapters list the reference measurement sets considered for calculating the capacity and
weight of each measurement for the following radio technologies:

• SRAN reference measurements

• WCDMA reference measurements
• GSM reference measurements
• SDL reference measurements

2.2.2.4.1 SRAN reference measurements

SRAN reference measurements provide the following information for the SRAN network elements:

• Measurement ID
• Measurement
• Active state
• Time interval
• Weights

Note: Weights are calculated based on the PM counter load for the individual
measurements.

SRAN reference measurements are provided for the following:

• SRAN_MRBTS reference measurement set

• SRAN_5G reference measurement set
• SRAN_LTE reference measurement set
• SRAN_3G reference measurement set
• SRAN_2G reference measurement set

2.2.2.4.1.1 SRAN_MRBTS reference measurement set

In case of parallel plan provisioning, actual numbers may differ due to plan size in terms of number of
objects, parameters, and so on.
**
Burst/Peak CM Change Notifications (CCNs) value is for a duration of five minutes.
***
The max plan amount may differ when the plan size in terms of the number of objects and number
of parameters is much higher. Nokia recommends having an automated old plan deletion procedure
activated by utilizing the following instructions: Deleting old plans automatically using cron job in
CM Operations Manager Help. The default retention time is 30 days, but it should be adjusted to
be smaller or longer depending on the daily CM plan amount of increase. The retention time can
be adjusted according to the instructions. The existence of automated removal can be checked by
running crontab -l on the DMGR node as root user and by checking that the following scheduled
process exists: NSN-cmplatform-remove-old-plans.

The amount of CM plans can be found with the help of CM Operations Manager GUI:

1. From the Plan menu, select Delete Plans Older Than… .

2. In the Delete Plans Older Than dialogue: As a Scope, select Delete all Plans and Delete plans
older than: 0 days
3. As a result, without pressing any button, you will see the amount of the plans by summarizing to-
gether all the CM plan types.
4. Exit the dialog by clicking Close. If Start is clicked, the user will see a confirmation dialogue, and
the deletion operation should be canceled by clicking No.

Note:

• CM history retention depends on northbound integrations like SON, Advanced Configu-

rator, and network size. Based on the number of changes in the network, retention period
might have to be revised.
• For more information on Configuration dashboard validated capacity details, see Capaci-
ty limitations in Using Configurator Dashboard.

2.5 Users and UI applications

Table 29: Capacity definitions applicable to NetAct users and UIs provides capacity definitions ap-
plicable to the number of users and Monitor UI applications. Active users and UI applications are not
mapped one-to-one. Each user can launch more than one application.

Note: These capacities are applicable to Access Server usage and Element Manager
launches only if there are sufficient resources (vCPU, vRAM, and disk space) assigned to the
relevant Node Manager Server virtual machines. For more information, see Table 32: Scaling
recommendations for Node Manager Server VDA VMs based on the number of concurrent
active users.

Statement Unit Description

consideration.
• For resource details on Node Manager Server VDA VMs, see Table 32: Scaling
recommendations for Node Manager Server VDA VMs based on the number of
concurrent active users.

2.6 Node Manager Server

Number of required Node Manager Servers (NMSs) depends on number of concurrent users, applica-
tions, and total user accounts. Application load can further be divided into element managers and us-
age of Node Manager as an access server to launch NetAct applications.

Final Use subject to agreed restrictions on disclosure and use.
NetAct Capacity and Performances DN1000077985 3-0 Functionality specific thresholds

Number of user accounts defines the storage needs, while number of concurrent users and applica-
tions define compute and storage needs to ensure adequate performance and availability. NMS di-
mensioning can be further tuned based on usage patterns for NetAct applications and Element Man-
ager.

Table 32: Scaling recommendations for Node Manager Server VDA VMs based on the number of con-
current active users

Note:

• If alarms are displayed for low resources in the Node Manager Server virtual machines,
Nokia recommends to increase the relevant resources for the virtual machines and/or in-
crease the number of VMs. For more information on Access Server usage and Element
Manager launch dimensioning in NetAct, contact Nokia Technical Support.
• NMS dimensioning is done with concurrent user and application load as defined in the
capacity and this is variant-specific.
• In environments with heavier usage, it is recommended to increase the C: drive space to
have enough swap space. This space should be equal to the memory of the VM and is
applicable for VM having more than 16 GB vRAM, for example, current C:\ + memory of
VM.

ment in TraceViewer documentation.

** To trace simultaneously 300 subscribers on HSS, CSCF, or NTAS elements for 24 hours, 600 GB of
NetAct storage is needed (based on approximated traffic model). For more information, see capacity
statement in TraceViewer documentation.

to export data with 15 or 30 minutes interval.
• The PM File Merger NBI should not be configured to function in the NetAct Small con-
figuration. This component is aimed to be functioning in the NetAct Mainstream or more
capable configurations to handle significant amounts of PM files received from the man-
aged network.

The detailed capacity estimation should be calculated on a case-by-case basis because it depends on
the size of the network topology. Before integrating SIEM to NetAct, ensure that the chosen third-par-
ty SIEM system (for example, Graylog) can collect all the logs with acceptable performance. This re-
quires calculating the amount of resources (including storage) needed on the SIEM server.
