IT - ATNoG | 5GASP project
An open-source platform that allows you to integrate different metrics collectors into one large super-system.
5G has changed the paradigm of networks, physical devices are now virtualized as common software and because of this, there is a need to monitor resources.
In the current market monitoring tools are typically limited and not centralized.
Orwell is a toolset capable of monitoring 5G infrastructures - from networks to VNFs - and centralize this information.
In order to meet the 5GASP monitorization standards, we provide a Prometheus database, integrated with Grafana to create user-friendly views.
Our system has a microservices architecture, based in several independent modules that work together. We wanted to create a system where the information was centralized in a unique format and stored in a unique database cluster.
Our middleware is the most important piece of the game, because it makes everything comunicate and work as it should. All metrics have to go through our middleware before being exported to Prometheus. This allows us to easily change our storage location and/or system.
Our API provides all the information needed to monitorize the system, so we could easily change from Grafana to another visualization system.
