Abstract
A system instantiates a unified query tool for a telecommunications network including a Network Function Virtualization (NFV) architecture. The NFV architecture includes distributed Virtual Network Functions (VNFs), where each VNF has multiple instances of a virtual component function. The system receives a query including key information indicative of a subscriber or a session of the telecommunications network. The query is associated with a logic flow that traverses a first VNF and a second VNF. The system identifies a first virtual component function of the first VNF as a first anchor point for the subscriber or the session. The first anchor point is identified based on the key information. The method retrieves results data that satisfies the query from the first virtual component function. The results data indicates behavior of the first virtual component function relative to the subscriber or the session.
