1. An apparatus, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
cause a graphical user interface to be output by a display, the graphical user interface comprising:
a first user input field configured to receive a first user input identifying a target key performance indicator (KPI) parameter associated with a network;
a second user input field configured to receive a second user input identifying a KPI historical data parameter;
a third user input field configured to receive a third user input identifying a baseline threshold parameter; and
a fourth user input field configured to receive a fourth user input identifying a quantity of historical KPI values to be included in a first set of one or more historical KPI values;
process the target KPI parameter, the KPI historical data parameter, the quantity of historical KPI values, and the baseline threshold parameter to generate a KPI management profile;
in response to validating that a quantity of available historical KPI values satisfies the quantity input as the fourth user input in the fourth user input field:
process the target KPI parameter and the first set of one or more historical KPI values based on the KPI historical data parameter to generate an initial baseline threshold value to which target KPI data is compared with respect to the KPI management profile to determine an operating state of the network; and
in response to determining that the quantity of available historical KPI values is less than the quantity input as the fourth user input in the fourth user input field:
await a next process cycle for the quantity of historical KPI values to be achieved.
