Cloud Native Analytics on container platforms

Cloud Native Analytics allows you to identify seasonal patterns of events and temporal event groups while running on a container platform.

Use the Example_IBM_CloudAnalytics view to see the Grouping and Seasonal columns in the Event Viewer. The Default view does not display the grouping and seasonal columns. To add these columns to the Default view, use the Edit Views icon to add the CEACorrelationDetails and CEASeasonalDetails columns to the Event list view.

For the Event Viewer to work correctly, you must mark as investigate the columns you want in the Cloud Native Analytics Incident Viewer apart from:

CEACorrelationDetails
CEASeasonalDetails
CEAAsmStatusDetails
CEAEventScore
CEAEventClassification

To mark the columns as investigate, click on the icon in the Event Viewer on the left of the View Name to open the View Builder.

Note: You must always set at least one column to investigate.

Seasonal events

Cloud Native Analytics uses statistical analysis of IBM® Tivoli® Netcool®/OMNIbus historical event data to determine the seasonality of events, such as when and how frequently events occur. Use the Example_IBM_CloudAnalytics view to see the Seasonal column in the Event Viewer. Seasonal events are also highlighted using an icon in the Incident panel.

Temporal event grouping

Cloud Native Analytics uses statistical analysis of Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus historical event data to determine which events have a statistical tendency to occur together. Cloud Native Analytics outputs the results of this statistical analysis as event groups, on a scheduled basis. Use the Example_IBM_CloudAnalytics view to see the Grouping column in the Event Viewer. Click Investigate to open the Incident Viewer. View details of the events and quickly determine the temporal or scope-based groups to which each event belongs.

The Example_IBM_CloudAnalytics view displays parent events, with one or more child events hidden from view. You can toggle a parent event in the Event Viewer to display the child events.

Roles

Three roles are available in Cloud Native Analytics:

noi_lead - The noi_lead role can perform all operations on the UI. With the noi_lead role, you can manage policies in Temporal policies. This feature is not available to other roles.
noi_engineer - The noi_engineer role can perform all operations on the UI, except for managing policies.
noi_operator - The noi_operator role can open the Incident Viewer from the Event Viewer, but cannot click-through on the seasonality and grouping icons in the Incident Viewer. The Temporal group or Seasonal event panels are not available with this role. The See more info option is not available on individual events with this role. Also, policies cannot be approved or rejected with this role.
