Statistics

This section provides the counter that gets generated for the network slicing scenarios.

  • inbound_request_slice_rejected: Captures the requests initiated for specific slices and the requests rejected for the slices that PCF does not support. The inbound_request_slice_rejected counter monitors requests that contain the slice information (Npcf_SMPolicyControl_Create).

    Note
    The inbound_request_slice_rejected does not determine the traffic on the slice.

    The inbound_request_slice_rejected counter supports the following labels:

    • interface_name—Indicates the name of the Service Based Interface (SBI) such as N7.

    • service_name—Indicates the name of the service such as npcf-smpolicycontrol.

    • operation_name—Indicates the name of the service operation such as Npcf_SMPolicyControl_Create.

    • command—Indicates the command type such as Create.

    • slice—Indicates the S-NSSAI that corresponds to the slice such as 1:0000ab.

  • incoming_request_slice_total—The incoming_request_slice_total includes all create, update, and delete actions and indicates the total number of incoming requests per slice on the N7 and N5 interfaces.

The incoming_request_slice_total counter supports the following labels:

  • interface_name—Indicates the name of the Service Based Interface (SBI) such as N5, N7, nNRF, and N28.

  • service_name—Indicates the name of the service such as nchf-spendinglimitcontrol.

  • result—Success and Error. Indicates that the request is success or error.

  • slice—Indicates the allowed-nssais that corresponds to the slice such as 1:0000ab.

  • outgoing_request_slice_total—The outgoing_request_slice_total includes all subscribe and unsubscribe/notify operations and indicates the total volume of outgoing requests per slice on N28/N7 interfaces.

The outgoing_request_slice_total counter supports the following labels:

  • interface_name—Indicates the name of the Service Based Interface (SBI) such as N5, N7, nNRF, and N28.

  • service_name—Indicates the name of the service such as nchf-spendinglimitcontrol.

  • result—Success and Error. Indicates that the request is success or error.

  • slice—Indicates the allowed-nssais that corresponds to the slice such as 1:0000ab.
