For supporting R1 usecases, DCAE expects VES events to be received from both VNF and VM through the VES Collector. Enrichment for these events are necessary for TCA, Holmes (both under DCAE platform) and Policy to support the close-loop flows.  

For R1 – enrichment for only VNF and VM are being discussed in this scope; although same rules can be extended for PNF in future release.

Enrichment Key

VES specification requires the sender (vnf/vm) to populate sourceName – the actual entity generating the event to DCAE (note this value can be different from reportingEntityName incase when EMS is involved). This sourceName is expected  under event.commonEventHeader.sourceName in the VES payload. This field is mandatory field in VES commonEventHeader and will be used as key for A&AI enrichment lookup
