By default, source property is used to identify the solution pack events belong to. If the source property is not unique, following configuration is required to add property spname to identify the solution pack events belong to, contained in message.

Following steps must be performed and validated before ingesting the events to VMware Telco Cloud Operations Gateway.
Note: Use Event-Property-Tagger (EPT) to update spname to filter SP data, and to fetch the mapping of events packets. For more information on configuring Event Property Tagger, refer Event-Property-Tagger.pdf in the MnR installation .

Procedure

  1. Ensure that, EPT is installed in the MnR installation. If not, refer Event-Property-Tagger.pdf available in the MnR installation, to install EPT.
  2. To add new property spname, configure EPT.
  3. Provide a processing-element entry in the processing.xml file of SP.
    Note: The SPNAME must be unique for the given Solution Pack, and cannot used by other solution packs deployed in MnR. Typical values for this property can be the name of the solution pack for example Netflow.
  4. Restart the Event-Processing-Manager.
    Example - EPT configuration to add spname:
    Traffic Flow SP uses EPT already. The modified existing EPT and configured are as follows:
    1. Add the entry to the configuration file Event-Property-Tagger/<instancename>/conf/flow-global-enrichment.xml, with the configuration add a new field spname as follows.
      Note: When the ROUTER_SRC is matched to anything a property is added with name as spname and value Netflow. No changes are required in the processing.xml file, as using existing EPT.

                    </new-properties>
                </text-file>
    Note: You must replace the SPNAME, with actual value like Netflow in the previous example and ROUTER_SRC with a property that is present.
