NETWORK ELEMENT HEALTH STATUS DETECTION METHOD AND DEVICE

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a network element health status detection method and device, and relate to the field of communications technologies. The method specifically includes: determining, by a detection device, sampled data of at least one key performance indicator KPI of a target network element in a first time window; obtaining, by the detection device, a fluctuation score of any KPI in the at least one KPI according to sampled data of the any KPI in the first time window and a steady state value of the any KPI; and determining, by the detection device, a health status of the target network element based on a fluctuation score of each of the at least one KPI. Therefore, a network element health status is determined by using single-point performance data of a network element and performance data in a network element time window. A problem of inaccurate judgment by considering only single-point moment performance data of the network element is resolved. Therefore, this solution can be used to identify the network element health status more accurately.
