At a Glance
NOBS – the Network Observability Platform - is a data sovereign telemetry and monitoring framework developed by Fraunhofer HHI that is designed to address the key requirements of 6G networks. It supports a variety of protocols such as gNMI, NETCONF, and SNMP for fine-granular network monitoring. Additionally, it offers data-sovereign, usage-control, and regulated telemetry sharing towards telemetry data consumers for multi-stakeholder (e.g. multiple vendors, multiple operators, etc.) environments leveraging a customized Eclipse Dataspace Component Connector (EDDC). This novel and unique feature distinguishes NOBS from all other monitoring platforms by offering a state-of-the-art solution to protect data ownership of stakeholders, which becomes extremely important in multi-party disaggregated ecosystems
