5G Core#
Introduction#
Built on a cloud-native architecture for maximum scalability, the Unryo platform is design to ingest massive volume of 5G messages and telemetry data. The 5G Core monitoring solution is vendor-agnostic, 3GPP-compliant, flexible and supports all 5G 3GPP core components.
It provides the following telecoms use-cases:
- SBI Traffic Analysis, by streaming the messages coming from CNFs
- Kubernetes Monitoring, to monitor the underlying infrastructure.
- Processing and enrichment of CNFs messages, following 3GPP Service Based Architecture (SBA)
- Best-Practice KPIs & dashboards on 5G Core layer and Kubernetes layer.
- 5G Core Topology Maps, multi-layers and dynamically created from ingested data.
- Cross-domain RCA/Impact Correlation, calculating impacts of Kubernetes infrastructure issues on 5G services.
- Service Monitoring, with configurable service hierarchies and SLO/SLA
- Customizable Alarm Console for NOC teams, with alerting to most-common notification channels
- ML-based troubleshooting, to speed-up resolution times
Analysis of SBI traffic#
Leveraging Mantisnet NFV probes (ebpf-based passive monitoring), Unryo collectors ingests 5G data as JSON encoded messages, and stores them in a log engine (OpenSearch).
Kubernetes Monitoring#
Unryo monitors in parallel the Kubernetes infrastructure, either by polling data from the Kubernetes API or by connecting your existing Prometheus endpoint(s).
Depending on your architecture, you can also extend visibility and correlation to other domains or telemetry data, such as network flows, service meshes, OpenTelemetry, integration to custom third-party data-sources and more.
Processing and enrichment of CNFs messages#
Unryo extracts in real-time important metadata information from the messages and enrich them with 3GPP service information such as service name, service operation and other tags, based on SBI path and method.
Best-Practice KPIs & Dashboards#
KPIs are computed from log aggregates and stored in a time-serie database for fast queries.
Dashboards show information in real-time and over time:
- 5G Core control plane communications (success rates, volume rates, etc.)
- Kubernetes ...
5G Core Topology Maps#
Multi-layers 5G topology maps, automatically learned from the SBI message feed.
- NF-to-NF traffic
- 5G Service-Based Architecture
- NF-to-Kubernetes
- NF-to-probes
- Service Topology Maps
- Custom Maps
Dependencies between CNF components are learned automatically, across multiple layers:
