Section 7.4.6 PM Dictionary

The Performance Management (PM) Dictionary is used by analytics applications to interpret and process perf3gpp measurement information from vendors, including measurement name, measurement family, measured object class, description, collection method, value ranges, unit of measure, triggering conditions and other information. The ultimate goal is for analytics applications to dynamically process new and updated measurements based on information in the PM Dictionary.

The PM dictionary is supplied by NF vendors in two parts:

• PM Dictionary Schema: specifies meta-information about perf3gpp measurement events from that vendor. The meta-information is conveyed using standard meta-information keywords, and may be extended to include vendor-specific meta-information keywords. The PM Dictionary Schema may also convey a range of vendor-specific values for some of the keywords.
• PM Dictionary: defines specific perf3gpp measurements sent by vendor NFs (each of which is compliant with a referenced PM Dictionary Schema).

NOTE:
• A vendor may provide multiple versions of the PM Dictionary Schema and refer to those versions from the PM Dictionary.
• Please refer to the latest version of the VES Event Registration specification for the listing of the PM Dictionary schema keywords, PM Dictionary Schema example and PM Dictionary example.
