The 5G promise of accelerated data transmission, low-latency, wider coverage, and reliability enables new use cases such as mission critical and enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) services. For accelerating massive growth, the cloud native transformation results in processes and workflows that fully take advantage of the 5G platform. Hence, with the new requirements, new scenarios, and massive technology transformation, the monitoring services for the 5G should be re-designed. This paper identifies the new challenges for defining monitoring services in 5G network and presents 10 design principles to meet the monitoring needs. Then, by following the analysis of these new monitoring challenges for the 5G, we review seven open source monitoring tools with the proposed design principles and presents our perspectives.
