What is Subscriber Manager?

1 Subscriber Manager

1.1 What is Subscriber Manager?


The Subscriber Manager application lets you see NE KPI and subscriber domain information, and
provides troubleshooting functions for subscriber hosts. The Dashboard view shows KPI, statistics,
and alarm information for NEs within a specified supervision group. The Troubleshoot view shows
session-related information for subscriber hosts and user equipment (UE) connected to an access
point (AP).

1.1.1 Statistics and KPI collection


For Subscriber Manager to display information, an administrative user must configure statistics
collection; see 1.2 “What if the Subscriber Manager GUI is empty?” (p. 5).
Automatic statistics collection is discontinued in Subscriber Manager as of NFM-P 19.6.
The default supervision group BNG/WiFi_GW displayed on the Subscriber Manager app dashboard
is populated using a filter associated with the administrative user in NFM-P. If the administrative
user is removed from NFM-P, this supervision group should be updated with an appropriate filter.
The absence of a filter will prevent NEs from being included in the supervision group.

1.2 What if the Subscriber Manager GUI is empty?


For the Subscriber Manager to display information, an administrative user must configure statistics
collection in the application settings.
Administrators can enable or disable specific KPIs and statistics counters in NFM-P. KPI and
statistics counters are enabled in Subscriber Manager by associating them with NFM-P statistics
policies. When a counter is associated with a statistics policy, it gathers information for all NEs
associated with the policy. By enabling only required statistics collection, you save system
resources on the NFM-P server. These settings apply to all Subscriber Manager application users.

Note: You need administrator access to configure KPI and statistics collection. Non-admin
users can view the settings only.

1
Click More , Statistics Configuration. The Statistics Configuration form opens.

2
In the KPI Indicator area, configure a polling interval and select a statistics policy for each KPI
you want to configure.
When a statistics policy is selected for a KPI, the KPI is enabled. Statistics policies are
configured in the NFM-P GUI.
The default polling interval of 15 minutes is recommended for most applications. Changes to
polling intervals may take considerable time to deploy fully through the NFM-P.

The default polling interval of 15 minutes is recommended for most applications. Changes to

1.2.1 Access control in Subscriber Manager


An operator’s visibility of network equipment and subscribers is based on access control settings,
which are configured by an administrator. Depending on your access settings, some information
may not be visible. See the User Manager Application help and your network administrator for more
information.

1.3 Dashboard view


The Dashboard gives you a high-level view of subscriber management-related information in a
supervision group, based on multiple KPIs. Information is categorized and summarized through
Dashboard cards, each dedicated to specific KPIs or statistics.
In this way, you know at a glance the overall performance of your network, and if you need to take
immediate action to correct problems.

Note: The Subscriber Manager KPI perspective calculates and displays KPI information for
service-ready NEs (currently reachable via SNMP, full or partial resync Done state in NFM-P,
and statistics are collected and available for the NE in NFM-P). The number of service-ready
NEs in the supervision group is indicated by the counter in the lower-right corner of the
Dashboard.

How do I view the full contents of a Dashboard card?

Statistics data is considered stale if it was fetched any earlier than two times the polling
interval, as specified in the statistics configuration tool. Stale data is not included with data
displayed in the KPI perspective.

For example, Dashboard cards can display:


• top five DHCP pools with highest usage, across all NEs in a supervision group
• number of DHCPv4 pools exceeding address usage threshold, or DHCPv6 pools exceeding
address block usage threshold
• number of NEs that exceed a specified threshold for memory usage, CPU usage, or CPU
temperature
• top five sites with highest subscriber activity
• number of critical, major, and minor subscriber alarms in the past 15 minutes / 1 hour (as
displayed on the dashboard card)
The VIEW ALL button at the bottom of certain cards takes you to a Triage view of the card, with a
full list of related objects to help you investigate potential problems. For cards that display individual
KPIs, you can click VIEW next to each KPI to view the KPI in a Triage view.
The system administrator can select which cards appear in the dashboard, and the order in which
they appear; see 1.34 “How do I reorganize the Dashboard view?” (p. 22).

1.4 How do I view the full contents of a Dashboard card?


1
In the Dashboard card you want to investigate, click VIEW ALL.
A Triage view opens with an expanded list of objects. The list objects depend on the item
clicked in the Dashboard (NEs, DHCP pools, alarms).
The list is filtered to display only objects from service-ready sites. You can disable the List Only
Service-ready Sites filter check box to display a complete list of DHCP pools.

2
When you’ve finished looking at the item, click Go Up to return to the Dashboard.

END OF STEPS

1.5 How do I investigate a site item in a Dashboard card?


1
Click directly on the site list item in the card.
A Site Info page opens with an expanded layout of NE statistics, KPI readings, alarm counts,
and NE system information.

The list is filtered to display only alarms from service-ready sites.

Do any of the following to help examine the alarm list:


• Disable the List Only Service-ready Sites filter option to display a complete list of alarms.
• Sort the list under a heading: Click on one of the column headings to sort the list under that
heading. Click the heading again to reverse the sort order, as indicated by Up/Down arrows.
• Filter the list contents: Type a text string in the field under a column heading to reduce the
