PARAMETERS DISTRIBUTION

OVERVIEW

This function is used to analyze the values’ distribution in the parameter tables.

The image below helps to understand the way this function works. Let’s suppose there is a cell level table called TABLE_ABC with the following content:

Parameters_Distribution

Running the Parameters Distribution function for this table we would get the following information:

  • Parameter A: 13 cells are configured with value ENABLED and 5 cells are configured with value DISABLED.
  • Parameter B: 6 cells are configured with value 1, 6 cells with value 2 and 6 cells with value 3.
  • Parameter C: 18 cells are configured with value 104.
  • And so on.

HOW TO USE

Parameters_Distribution_1

1 – Select the element to analyze the parameters distribution.

2 – In Options, it is possible to select the day that you want to see the current configuration or leave it set with the last day of data available.

3 – Select the tables whose parameters will be analyzed. It is possible to choose more than one table, and you can also use the Select All button. To see the selected tables, click at Show Selected.

4 – Click on GO to display the parameters distribution of the selected table(s).

5 – Save the preference with the tables that you use often.

6 – The selected tables come separated by tabs and in each tab, you will find the parameters corresponding to this table.

7 – Search by parameter name or parameter value.

8 – The name of the parameters that belong to the selected table(s). By clicking in this parameter name, its description will be showed.

9 – The distribution of the parameters. The number inside the parenthesis corresponds to the total of elements that present this value.
E.g.: -3 (94) where -3 is the value of the parameter and 94 is the total of elements with this value.

10 – Click to open the pie chart with the distribution of the parameter values.

11 – Download the image. You can resize it and show the chart labels before downloading it.

12 – Download the file with the parameter distribution. In this file, you can find which elements have each value.

USE CASES

Let’s suppose that you need to know the % of elements in the network that has the parameter AdminCellState set as 0.

In the image below we can analyze:

  • 24% of the elements have the parameter AdminCellState set as 0, i.e., 960 elements of a total of 15.383 elements in the network have the value 0.
  • 76% of the elements have the parameter AdminCellState set as 1, i.e., 14.423 elements of a total of 15.383 elements in the network have the value 1.

Parameters_Distribution_2

COMMON ERRORS

  • Unselect the button Last Available Data and selected a day with no data in the Date tab.

Parameters_Distribution_3

  • Looking for a table that belongs to a different level of elements.

NOTE: the available tables are displayed according to the selected element in the treeview.

  • Looking for a table that belongs to other vendor/technology.
