Architecture of a Telecommunications Network Monitoring System Based on a Knowledge Graph

The article focuses on developing a new architecture of telecommunications network monitoring systems based on knowledge graphs that allow comfortably integrate static network models and the dynamic data obtained by monitoring within a single architecture. The article analyses the tasks accomplished by traditional monitoring systems used today, and determines the challenges that are not met by the systems. It offers a new architecture for a system based on a knowledge graph, which allows solve the newly defined challenges by integrating various network models and the dynamic data obtained by monitoring. The structure of the system is defined, and the ontological models it is based on are described. The article shows the capabilities of the system and defines the limits for its applicability. It describes the implementation of the system, including the requirements for its integration with external systems. The options for production implementation of the system components are listed. In order to practically evaluate the architecture proposed, a fragment of a monitoring system is drawn up and the results of its application are presented. Conclusions are formulated, and the areas of further research are identified.
