Building a Reporting Dashboard for 5G Telecom Network

Current monitoring of network elements is mainly done via traditional polling methods (e.g. SNMP polling). These methods reach their limits as data volumes grow, since they have high latencies and burden the CPU of network elements. There is no central high-performance platform for correlating and storing telemetry data in the long term.

Project goal The goal is to implement a TIG stack that receives network data via streaming telemetry (push method). This enables high-resolution monitoring in near real time, efficient storage of large time-series data, and intuitive visualization of performance metrics.

• Scope of work & milestones

The focus is on the technical integration and configuration of the three core components:

Telegraf: installation and configuration as a collector for gNMI, SNMP, or Netflow data. InfluxDB: setup of the time-series database. Grafana: creation of dynamic dashboards and setup of an alerting system.

Milestone 1: Provisioning server infrastructure and installing software components. Milestone 2: Successful data reception from the first pilot network elements. Milestone 3: Creation of dashboards and setup of a weathermap. Milestone 4: Final approval of dashboards and handover to operations.

• Experience building and implementing a TIG stack for other clients
• Degree in computer science or equivalent technical training with relevant experience in the telecommunications industry
• Experience with Cisco and/or Juniper systems
• Solid knowledge of IP and MPLS network technologies
• Experience designing VoIP, data, and IPTV networks and the necessary QoS concepts is a plus
• Methods and techniques in project management
