TCSA Integration (Optional)

Prebuilt workflows support sending status updates to VMware Telco Clould Service Assurance (TCSA).

Follow the steps below before running workflows:
  1. SSH to the TCA-M appliance.
    ssh admin@<TCAM-IP>
  2. Edit the coredns configmap.
    kubectl edit cm -n kube-system coredns
    Add the following to the manifest: 
    hosts custom.hosts kafka-edge {
           <kafka-edge-hostname> kafka-edge
           fallthrough
        }
  3. Restart coredns.
    kubectl rollout restart -n kube-system deployment/coredns
