Discovery and Monitoring Flow

For the Cell Sites to be discovered, the VMware vROps and the VMware Telco Cloud Automation instance (on which the Cell Sites are configured) must be discovered in the VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance. Once the discovery is complete, the CellSite Group, Cell Site, and its association with the Hypervisor will be created in the VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance. The real time monitoring of the CellSites, Kubernetes Nodes, and the nodepools takes place every polling interval post the discovery.

Prerequisites

Verify that VMware vROps is configured with Kubernetes management pack which is managing the 5G Core infrastructure.

The following information applies to Kubernetes node discovery, CellSite discovery, and nodepool:

• Kubernetes node discovery (Worker and Master) happens through VMware vROps and monitoring happens through both VMware vROps and VMware Telco Cloud Automation.
• CellSite discovery and monitoring happens through the VMware Telco Cloud Automation.
• VMware Telco Cloud Automation nodepool status is updated with the corresponding Kubernetes Worker node in the VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance discovered through the VMware vROps.

As part of the CellSite discovery, the following new objects are created in the VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance:

• CellSite
• CellSiteGroup
