Difficulties & Solutions

VIApass Palais des Festivals (Cannes) Network Operations

Problem 1 — Heterogeneous Maps

Multiple versions coexisted, with different legends and naming conventions, which wasted time during peak load periods.

Solutions Implemented

  • Single Template: standard legend, color codes, common vocabulary.
  • Homogeneous Naming: convention for zones, racks, ports, and SSIDs ("public" version).
  • Process: update checklist and centralized repository.

Problem 2 — Overly Verbose Alerting

Non-actionable alerts drowned out priority incidents → risk of overlooking a true impact.

Solutions Implemented

  • Sorting by Criticality and context (event vs. non-event).
  • Thresholds reviewed and creation of a readable **"Synthesis View"**.
  • **Low-level logs** separated to avoid polluting the executive view.

Problem 3 — Field ↔ NOC Gateway

Field reports were not always structured (who/what/where/when), slowing down diagnosis.

Solutions Implemented

  • Mandatory Minimal Ticket: who/what/where/when + photo/port if useful.
  • **Briefing** before opening & **Debriefing** 10 min at the end of the day.
  • **Synthetic Post-Mortem** (root cause, 1–3 actions).

Indicators to Monitor (Generic)

  • **Availability** & load per zone (peaks, troughs, Day J trends).
  • **Wi-Fi**: RSSI/SNR, median throughput, association/failure rates.
  • **Ticketing**: completeness of fields, time until first diagnosis.
Confidentiality: sensitive information (public IPs, SSIDs, identifiers) are anonymized or reformulated.
