Gap & Risk Analysis
β’ Fit/gap analysis for proposed open-source tools
β’ Operational readiness risks
β’ Optional feature roadmap for future customization (e.g., time/volume-based billing, pyramidal services)
Technical Environment Youβll Design ForOSS Scope
β’ Monitoring Tools: Zabbix / OpenNMS (infra), Prometheus + Grafana (service metrics)
β’ Logging Stack: Filebeat / Fluent Bit + OpenSearch + Kibana
β’ Backup: urBackup / Proxmox Backup Server (PBS)
β’ NTP Infrastructure
β’ FreeRADIUS for AAA
β’ Southbound protocols: SNMP, Kafka, NetConf, Prometheus exporters
β’ Northbound outputs: CDRs, dashboards, NOC workflows
