20210320839 | SELF-MONITORING - The present approach relates to event monitoring and management of an instance using a generated service map, allowing monitoring of CIs (e.g., applications) and connections that are currently active in a user's specific instance. A self-monitoring solution is generated for a user (e.g., via an application) that depicts status, configuration, and errors related to the user's instance. In certain implementations, the present techniques involve applying internal knowledge of the working of a user's instance and applications to perform the self-monitoring, and determine when an alert should be generated. Further, the present techniques may involve making a determination to provide a user with a self-help solution in addition or based on the self-monitoring of the user's instance. | 2021-10-14 |

20210320843 | EGRESS TRUNCATION FOR TAP AGGREGATION DEVICES - Some embodiments provide a method, executable by a network device, that receives a packet from a network at a first port of the network device. The method further sends the packet to a second port of the network device. The second port includes an interface and a loopback function implemented at an egress of the interface. The loopback function is configured to transmit the packet back to the network device through the interface. The interface is configured to truncate the packet upon receiving the packet from the loopback function. Upon receiving the truncated packet from the interface of the second port, the method also forwards the truncated packet to a device through a third port of the network device that is coupled to the device. | 2021-10-14 |

The holistic validation may include receiving an xNF, determining a first amount of risk associated with that xNF based on one or more differences between the xNF and the validation criteria, determining a second amount of risk by comparing performance characteristics of the xNF to performance characteristics of earlier version of the same or similar xNFs, providing the xNF to the network for deployment in response to the total risk being within an acceptable amount of risk, and preventing xNF deployment while providing a notification with a set of recommendations to reduce the xNF risk in response to the total risk exceeding the acceptable amount of risk. | 2021-10-14 |
20210320845 | NETWORK FUNCTION NF MANAGEMENT METHOD AND NF MANAGEMENT DEVICE - In a network function (NF) management method, a NF management device receives an NF discovery request sent by a first NF component, where the NF discovery request includes a second NF identifier that indicates a second NF. The NF management device obtains component information of a second NF component based on the second NF identifier, where the second NF component has the second NF, and the component information includes a discovery policy of the second NF component and a second NF component identifier. The NF management device determines, based on the discovery policy in the component information, that the first NF component can access the second NF component, and sends the second NF component identifier to the first NF component. | 2021-10-14 |
