OptOSS AI v8.2.0 - Release

September 4, 2024

We are excited to announce the latest minor release of OptOSS AI. This release focuses on service chain discovery and incident impact calculation. Additionally, the user experience has been enhanced with multiple improvements and new essential features.

🚀 What's New

1. Split Cluster

The Split Cluster feature allows for the dynamic splitting of non-homogeneous clusters ‘on-the-fly’ without the need for re-clustering the data. The released anomalies will be re-processed automatically by the clusters, and then will be redistributed into other existing or brand new clusters, resulting in improved performance.

Delete cluster - added button on Cluster Performance View

2. Geo Widget: Show anomalies by type

The “Pyramid” style option allows you to view anomalies by type as a stacked pyramid within the Geo Mapping widget.

3. Save features of description templates for anomalies

This feature enables us to trace back to the original features used to create an anomaly. This will allow us to understand the main drivers behind anomaly or cluster creation, which improves explainability and trustworthiness of our AI engine. This is an important requirement in view of the new European regulations with regards to the use of AI in Critical Infrastructures.

4. Brush for Trends Widgets

Added a brush to trend widgets for zooming in/out and selecting the target period (Ctrl + scroll)

 

5. New concept for infrastructure visualisation in 3D

Modern telecom networks are large, complex and notoriously hard to visualise. The network map has been transposed from 2D to 3D to increase intuitiveness. This new functionality lays a technological foundation for the plethora of new features to be introduced in future releases of OptOSS AI, which will cover many complex networking technologies and will provide a new tool which is easy to understand and navigate.

6. Hierarchical Component - Automated synchronisation with subordinate Instances 

Automation for data synchronisation with subordinate instances has been added. New cluster types, anomaly colours, tags will be synchronised to Hierarchical Instance from subordinate Instances in one click.

7. End-to-End Service Chain and Impact Calculation 

It is now possible to automatically calculate the impact for the individual component link on the  selected end-to-end service chain, helping to attribute and estimate or measure the consequences and urgency of any incident. This functionality is available in the Hierarchical component.

⭐ Enhancements

  • CT Scan view enriched with filter for ‘Protocols’ 

It is now possible to filter out anomalies by protocol within CT Scan.

  • Anomaly Chart: Anomaly ID & Cluster details added into header

The window header displays the anomaly and related cluster details

  • Cluster “Anomalies View” refined

A new filter column - ‘Events count’ - has been added to the Anomalies View. This shows the number of events in an anomaly and allows filtering to highlight selected anomalies on the timeline chart above

  • Widgets have received a ‘drag handle’

This element has been added to the left of the widget header and can be used to manage widget positioning.
