Introduction

The VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance Collector SDK user guide provides information on the python based SDK (software development kit) tool that is used to develop the custom collectors for metrics data collections.

The VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance Collector SDK has been developed primarily for providing an interface to the user for writing their own custom collectors without having any dependency on developers. The next sections describes how to write and test the Rest and Kafka custom collectors and the operations they can invoke.

The Programming guide also presents examples of python based custom collectors written using the SDK.
