A method in a communication device of a radio telecommunications network for enabling provision of data to be used in a performance analysis, the method comprising: obtaining (200,300,400,500) an input to set up at least one rule within the communication device, which rule is to be fulfilled in order to create at least one performance management counter to count occurrences of a performance management parameter related to the communication device, setting up (210,310,410,510) the at least one rule, detecting (420,520) an impulse, determining (240,330,430,530) whether the at least one rule is fulfilled based on the impulse, when the at least one rule is fulfilled, monitoring (440,540) data associated to the communication device, dynamically creating (250,340,450,550), when the at least one rule is fulfilled, the at least one performance management counter to count occurrences of the at least one performance management parameter detected in the monitored data, transmitting (280,395,460,560) a message comprising a result of the at least one performance management counter to an operation and maintenance communication device, the method being characterized in that: the detecting of an impulse further comprises receiving the impulse, wherein the impulse comprises a request, from the operation and maintenance communication device, requesting the communication device to create a performance management counter for counting a single performance management parameter, the at least one rule states that if an impulse comprises a request requesting a creation of a performance management counter of the single performance management parameter, more than one performance management counter should be created counting occurrences of a performance management parameter detected in the monitored data associated to the single performance management parameter, and the transmission of a message comprises transmission of results of the more than one performance management counters. obtaining (200,300,400,500) an input to set up at least one rule within the communication device, which rule is to be fulfilled in order to create at least one performance management counter to count occurrences of a performance management parameter related to the communication device, setting up (210,310,410,510) the at least one rule, detecting (420,520) an impulse, determining (240,330,430,530) whether the at least one rule is fulfilled based on the impulse, when the at least one rule is fulfilled, monitoring (440,540) data associated to the communication device, dynamically creating (250,340,450,550), when the at least one rule is fulfilled, the at least one performance management counter to count occurrences of the at least one performance management parameter detected in the monitored data, transmitting (280,395,460,560) a message comprising a result of the at least one performance management counter to an operation and maintenance communication device, the method being characterized in that: the detecting of an impulse further comprises receiving the impulse, wherein the impulse comprises a request, from the operation and maintenance communication device, requesting the communication device to create a performance management counter for counting a single performance management parameter, the at least one rule states that if an impulse comprises a request requesting a creation of a performance management counter of the single performance management parameter, more than one performance management counter should be created counting occurrences of a performance management parameter detected in the monitored data associated to the single performance management parameter, and the transmission of a message comprises transmission of results of the more than one performance management counters. the detecting of an impulse further comprises receiving the impulse, wherein the impulse comprises a request, from the operation and maintenance communication device, requesting the communication device to create a performance management counter for counting a single performance management parameter, the at least one rule states that if an impulse comprises a request requesting a creation of a performance management counter of the single performance management parameter, more than one performance management counter should be created counting occurrences of a performance management parameter detected in the monitored data associated to the single performance management parameter, and the transmission of a message comprises transmission of results of the more than one performance management counters.
