	abstract = {A scalable, flexible and reliable Analytics service has become a requirement toward building efficient Fifth Generation (5G) experimental platforms that can support a suite of end-user experiments and verticals. Our paper presents the challenges that come with designing such a service-based\&nbsp;Analytics component, and shows how we have used it in the context of open experimental platforms in the\&nbsp;5GENESIS\&nbsp;project. Our Analytics service was designed both for enabling the efficient setup and configuration of the underlying platform, and also for ensuring that it provides useful insights into the experimentation\&nbsp;Key Performance Indicators\&nbsp;(KPIs) toward the end-user. Thus, Analytics proved to be a useful tool across several stages, starting from ensuring correct operation during the initial phases of the network setup and continuing into the normal day-to-day experimentation. Our experiments show how the tool was used in our setup and provide information on how to apply it to different environments. The\&nbsp;Analytics component, designed as a set of\&nbsp;microservices\&nbsp;that serve several goals in the analytics workflow, is also provided as open source, being part of the\&nbsp;Open5Genesis\&nbsp;suite.},
