TRAFFIC FORECAST

Overview

Predict the network voice and data traffic KPIs with machine learning models.  

The Traffic Forecast feature helps users to focus on taking actions to proactively handle relevant cases. It considers trend, seasonality and special dates when informed. Once configured, it enables the user to automate this type of data analysis for all desired regions and elements, avoiding waste of time with the manual work of analyzing big volumes of past data with external tools.  

NetChart runs all the pre-defined KPI traffic forecasts and threshold rules once a day. All monitored elements or regions which satisfy a rule will generate an alarm informing the element ID or name, KPI ID, the threshold and the predicted day that the threshold will be crossed. 

All active predicted alarms are available for consultation in a table format, similar to the Logical Alarms feature. 

Users can plot the KPI chart with predicted data through an option in NetChart’s menu. This option allows users to select the KPI and the element or region from the precalculated list that shall be plotted.
