Some embodiments of the invention provide a method of reporting telemetry data in a telecommunication network. The telemetry data is collected from a set of one or more telemetry-producing (TP) network elements and is distributed to a set of one or more telemetry-consuming (TC) network elements registered to receive the telemetry data. The method receives a telemetry packet produced by a TP network element and performs a filtering operation to determine whether the telemetry packet should be reported to at least a subset of one or more TC network elements. When the filtering operations result in a determination that the telemetry packet should be reported, the method forwards the telemetry packet to the subset of TC network elements.

Collecting, processing, and distributing telemetry data

A graphical user interface ('GUI') allows for the creation of custom key performance indicators ('KPIs') for real-time analysis of network telemetry events. The GUI can include options for defining variables based on event attributes. These can correspond to events that exist in input telemetry streams at a stream processor. The GUI can allow creation of a formula based on these variables. An aggregation section specifies how the output of the formula is aggregated. This can be based on group, aggregation function, and time period. A manager process causes the stream processor to apply the custom KPI definition to real-time input streams. An output KPI stream can then be routed to a destination for analysis.
