In the future, we will add additional rules to be able to audit that a service has been completely deleted.  POMBA will likely require an input parameter on the audit initiation request to indicate whether someone wishes to run the instantiation rule set or the deletion rule sets.

Adding New Rules

The rules that POMBA runs are extensible and anyone can add new rules. Note this is in code currently, so has to be done as part of a development cycle.  Ideas from rules probably fall into two categories

• Validating design intent
  • When designing ONAP features, you may wish to add rules to verify that the system is in the state you expect
• Automation of detecting errors found manually
  • When using or testing the system, you may manually find a data integrity issue and wish to automate its detection in case it happens again
