What is QNOD?

QNOD stands for QualityNet Operations Dashboard. QNOD is a single pane of glass into the health of the entire Center for Clinical Standards and Quality (CCSQ) ecosystem. Capabilities include predictive analytics and historical performance. It is the preferred method to share the state of your service with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the rest of the community.


Section

How does it work

QNOD integrates data from multiple reporting sources then displays system health and availability information about each CCSQ service based on this data. The data included for each service are the KPIs that the service owner determined were important to understand whether their service was running as expected. Service owners can get the most of QNOD by ensuring that the data they provide is what is most important for understanding how their service is performing.

QNOD2 currently pulls in data from the following Services:

  • Airflow 
  • File Cloud
  • FireEye vNX
  • GitHub
  • IQIES
  • Mailman
  • McAfee WG
  • MedTrak
  • New Relic
  • Next Gen Firewall
  • PRS
  • QCOR
  • QNP
  • QSEP
  • QTSO
  • SAS Viya
  • ServiceNow
  • Slack
  • SurveyMonkey
  • TestRail
  • VPN ASA
  • Zeppelin

QNOD takes in values from multiple monitoring tools and applications and brings them into one unified view to make it easy for people to understand how a service performs. This process means that we can add new monitoring tools to QNOD in the future without losing the historical view.

Users can access the QNOD DashboardDashboards by using the following links:

titleWhat is Machine Learning

What is machine learning and how can it help you?

Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence that uses computer algorithms to automatically discover patterns in data. QNOD’s machine learning algorithms learn how CCSQ services work from the historical data provided by the service owners. What this means is that the quality of the data provided to QNOD is essential for getting quality machine learning results. These learnings can be used to make predictions about how services will perform in the future.

QNOD currently includes two types of machine learning models:

  • Anomaly detection
  • Predictive analytics

Anomaly detection

An anomaly does not mean that something is wrong with a service. An anomaly simply means that our model observed values outside of the typical range. A typical value range for a service comes from the historical values of the KPIs that the service owner shared with the QNOD team.

Predictive analytics

Our machine learning models review data for a service over a period of time. The model uses this data to determine what would be an expected value for a KPI based on what values were seen in the past. QNOD displays what the expected values will be in the future.

QNOD’s machine learning engineers are also investigating other types of machine learning including Deep Reinforcement Learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP) models.

titleHow can you make sure your service’s information is accurate?

Service owners can keep the QNOD team informed when they make changes to their monitoring. When data feeds change, services may display as down if the feed details have not been updated in QNOD. This situation can occur with:

  • Host name changes
  • AWS tag and environment updates
  • New monitoring tools added
  • Any other changes to your data feeds

  • Removed the additional components involved in data transfer between data collection and data storage layers. Also removed the additional components between data processing and data storage layers. This has resulted in significant improvements in performance and will enable quicker restoration compared to the current process. This will also reduce the downtime during deployments to 1–2 minutes compared to current 10–15 minutes.
  • Multiple orgs. within the Influxdb data are merged into one for better visibility and testing within the data storage layer.


Known Issue(s):

  • Time picker for service drilldown dashboards has been temporarily disabled to address possible issues with system stability.

Users can expect the following new functionality with this release as well as fixes and/or security patching.


New Feature(s):

  • Onboarding for Service(s):
    • QMARS
      • Synthetics – Determines the availability of the QMARS application; Duration and Success Percent are the two KPIs ingesting into QNOD.
      • Application – Onboarded KPIs: Web Transaction Time, Read/Write Latency, Transaction Throughput.
      • Compute – Onboarded KPIs: CPU, Memory, Disk, Read/Write IOPS, for the service’s Infrastructure.

      • This capability will aid service owners with investigating root causes as well as fixing issues with their service that would otherwise lead to a potential future service issue or degradation.
  • QNOD Notifications:
    • Confluence and Syslog:
      • Using the Slack channel #alerts-qnod-prod, the Anomaly Detection process from the Machine Learning capability above will send alerts when an anomalous event is detected in these services. An alert will also be sent when the condition has cleared for the service.
      • This capability will aid service owners with identifying and quickly fixing issues with their service that would otherwise lead to a potential service issue or degradation.
  • Service Availability:
    • Service Availability percentage for the past 24 hours is now displayed in service drilldown dashboards.
      • The Service Availability percentage refers to the percentage of time service stayed in a “Non-Critical” state out of the total time reported to New Relic.
