KPI instance
A KPI instance is described by a set of attributes:
KPI identifier: unique alphanumeric string associated to a KPI instance.

- KPI name: string associated with a KPI instance.
KPI parameters
Thresholds
Threshold values are associated to a KPI instance.
They are expressed as couples of numeric values (the WARNING and the CRITICAL thresholds), representing the limits of the KPI value.
If the KPI value exceeds the threshold, it is considered in a WARNING or CRITICAL condition.
For additional details, see KPI use case.
Location
A location refers to a spatial object related to the underlying network.
It aggregates several elements of the network in order to manage/export related data in an efficient way.
Furthermore, it must be associated with a location name provided by the user during the creation of the location.
Direction
KPI values can be considered in two different directions:
- INCREASING (the higher KPI values are associated with the better quality of the KPI)
- DECREASING (the lower KPI values are associated with the better quality of the KPI)
