Feature Description

This chapter provides details of bulk statistics, and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) used for performance analysis on SMF.

There are two types of bulk statistics:

  • Gauge - A snapshot value that shows the statistic at that reporting moment (for example, the number of current PDP contexts, simultaneous Active EPS Bearers). Gauge statistics can increment or decrement continuously.

  • Counter - A historic value that shows the statistic that accumulated over time (for example, the total number of CSR requests received). Counter values can only increment except in two cases: rollover, where a counter exceeds its maximum value and rolls over to zero, and reset, where a counter is manually reset to zero.
