Configuring Edge Kafka and VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance Data Collector

You must specify the Edge Kafka and VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance Data Collector credentials in the clientConnect.conf file and specify the Orchestrator, Edge Kafka, and VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance Data Collector details in esm-param.conf file located in the Server Manager installation directory.

To specify credentials:

Procedure

1. At BASEDIR/smarts/bin , type the following command:
   sm_edit ../conf/clientConnect.conf
2. Enter the following line for Kafka, Kafka Keystore, and DCF instance:

   kafka:kafka-edge:<kafka_user_name>:<kafka_password>:<Port>:<Discovery_Topic>:<Monitoring_Topic>
   kafkakeystore:kafka-edge:<Kafka_Keystore_Location>:<Kafka Keystore Password>
   dcc:<Data Collection Framework IP address>:< DCC_user_name>:<DCC_password>:<Protocol>:<Port>

   You must add the line for Kafka and DCF instances above:

   ::admin:<E-1.0>94689C5A7C826FD58DDE9F62284A68191EC739743EA25E5E1F76FE49 3337D558 in the clientConnect.conf file.

   For example:

   kafka:kafka-edge:kafka-scram-sha-512-client-credentials:<E-1.0>9E9941CB0981689B53B1201246953D8D08C8308C12A860D440AA473E2CE622D5:32092:dcf_disc:dcf_mon
   kafkakeystore:kafka-edge:/root/cacerts/cacerts:<E-1.0>A2B03F81F53A4EA6ED4E0148818A815AC79B4897CF247803743713DA97A77BAC
   dcc:xx.xx.xx.xx:admin:<E-1.0>94E8B1AD5BF8F6D7B54E003537A1515AB3F609A6A08D3C4E7EE2730F3389A6CC:https:30002

   Note: For TKG deployments: Kafka broker must be populated with Kafka Edge IP address to be populated as Kafka-edge followed by Kafka port. For example: kafka-edge:32092

   For Azure deployments: Kafka Edge IP address followed by Kafka port. For example: kafka-edge:32092

   Note: Add the Kafka monitoring topic if user wants to collect the SNMP Performance metrics for vIMS VNF nodes.
3. Save and close the file.
4. At BASEDIR/smarts/bin, type the following command:
   sm_edit ../conf/esm/esm-param.conf
5. Enter the following line for Orchestrator, Kafka and DCF Controller:

   # For TKG deployments use below format

   Kafka broker must be populated with Kafka Edge IP address as Kafka-edge followed by Kafka port. For example :kafka-edge:32092

   # For Azure Deployments use below format

   Kafka Edge IP address followed by Kafka port. For example : kafka-edge:32092

   # For providing Kafka broker instance use below format

   KAFKA-<Orchestrator_host_IP_address> <Kafka-edge:port>

   # For providing DCF Controller instance use below format

   Data Collection Framework IP address - Virtual IP address of the VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid workload cluster , Azure The external IP address of the istio-ingressgateway

   # For providing orchestrator instance use below format

   ORCHESTRATOR-<orchestrator_IP_Address> CLOUDIFY

   For Example:

   KAFKA-xx.xx.xx.xx kafka-edge:32092
   DCC-xx.xx.xx.xx yy.yy.yy.yy
   ORCHESTRATOR-xx.xx.xx.xx CLOUDIFY

6. Restart the Server Manager.
