• Proposed name for the project: Pinpoint
• Proposed name for the repository: pinpoint
• Project Categories: Requirements

• The overall goal of the Pinpoint project is to provide fault localization framework for NFVI and VIM layers focusing on network issues
• Fault localization target is to deduce the exact source of a failure from a set of observed failure indications while reducing the time spent on analyzing problems.
• Fault localization also identify performance bottlenecks easily revealing the true source of the various symptoms
• Fault localization is also known as fault isolation, alarm/event correlation, and root cause analysis (RCA).

• Define the relevant APIs for fault localization system
• Define functional requirements for fault localization block
• Perform gap analysis on existing API, mainly on OpenStack components and SDN controllers
• Out of scope : Fault localization specific algorithm
• Future extensions: Fault localization for compute and storage, Extend for upper layers of NFV (alongside OPNFV evaluation)

• The project has some relations to the: Doctor, Yardstick and bottleneck OPNFV projects as it may use some of their APIs
• The project is related to the: Neutron, Nova, Ceilometer and maybe some other OpenStack project as it may use some of their APIs
• The project is related to the: Onos and ODL project as it may use some of their APIs
• The project is aligned with an activity in IETF LIME group to provide generic model for technology agnostic network OAM

• User requirements of OPNFV fault localization.
• Gap analysis on fault localization APIs with open source upstream projects.
• Propose BPs in OpenStack projects, Onos and ODL according to gaps found in the analysis.

• Planned for OPNFV release 3
