This page shows how the Policy Design and API Flow to/from the PAP and PDPs works to support Model Driven Control Loops in Dublin.
The figure below shows the Artifacts (Blue) in the ONAP Policy Framework, the Activities (Yellow) that manipulate them, and important components (Pink) that interact with them.
Please see the TOSCA Policy Primer page for an introduction to TOSCA policy concepts.
TOSCA defines a PolicyType, the definition of a type of policy that can be applied to a service. It also defines a Policy, the definition of an instance of a PolicyType. In the Policy Framework, we must handle and manage these TOSCA definitions and tie them to real implementations of policies that can run on PDPs.
The diagram above outlines how this is achieved. Each TOSCA PolicyType must have a corresponding PolicyTypeImpl in the Policy Framework. The TOSCA PolicyType definition can be used to create a TOSCA Policy definition, either directly by the Policy Framework, by CLAMP, or by some other system. Once the Policy artifact exists, it can be used together with the PolicyTypeImpl artifact to create a PolicyImpl artifact. A PolicyImpl artifact is an executable policy implementation that can run on a PDP.
The TOSCA PolicyType artifact defines the external characteristics of the policy; defining its properties, the types of entities it acts on, and its triggers. A PolicyTypeImpl artifact is an XACML, Drools, or APEX implementation of that policy definition. PolicyType and PolicyTypeImpl artifacts may be preloaded, may be loaded manually, or may be created using the Lifecycle API. Alternatively, PolicyType definitions may be loaded over the Lifecycle API for preloaded PolicyTypeImpl artifacts. A TOSCA PolicyType artifact can be used by clients (such as CLAMP or CLI tools) to create, parse, serialize, and/or deserialize an actual Policy.
The TOSCA Policy artifact is used internally by the Policy Framework, or is input by CLAMP or other systems. This artifact specifies the values of the properties for the policy and specifies the specific entities the policy acts on. Policy Design uses the TOSCA Policy artifact and the PolicyTypeImpl artifact to create an executable PolicyImpl artifact.
1 Policy Types
Policy Type Design manages TOSCA PolicyType artifacts and their PolicyTypeImpl implementations.
TOSCA PolicyType may ultimately be defined by the modeling team but for now are defined by the Policy Framework project. Various editors and GUIs are available for creating PolicyTypeImpl implementations. However, systematic integration of PolicyTypeImpl implementation is outside the scope of the ONAP Dublin release.
The PolicyType definitions and implementations listed below are preloaded and are always available for use in the Policy Framework.
| Policy Type | Description |
|---|---|
| onap.policies.Monitoring | Overarching model that supports Policy driven DCAE microservice components used in a Control Loops |
| onap.policies.controlloop.Operational | Used to support actor/action operational policies for control loops |
| onap.policies.controlloop.Guard | Control Loop guard policies for policing control loops |
| onap.policies.controlloop.Coordination | Control Loop Coordination policies to assist in coordinating multiple control loops at runtime |
1.1 onap.policies.Monitoring Policy Type
This is a base Policy Type that supports Policy driven DCAE microservice components used in a Control Loops. The implementation of this Policy Type is developed using the XACML PDP to support question/answer Policy Decisions during runtime for the DCAE Policy Handler.
The PolicyTypeImpl implementation of the onap.policies.Montoring Policy Type is generic to support definition of TOSCA PolicyType artifacts in the Policy Framework using the Policy Type Design API. Therefore many TOSCA PolicyType artifacts will use the same PolicyTypeImpl implementation with different property types and towards different targets. This allows dynamically generated DCAE microservice component Policy Types to be created at Design Time.
DCAE microservice components can generate their own TOSCA PolicyType using TOSCA-Lab Control Loop guard policies in SDC (Stretch Goal) or can do so manually. See How to generate artefacts for SDC catalog using Tosca Lab Tool for details on TOSCA-LAB in SDC. For Dublin, the DCAE team is defining the manual steps required to build policy models Onboarding steps for DCAE MS through SDC/Policy/CLAMP (Dublin).
NOTE: For Dublin, mS Policy Types will be pre-loaded into the SDC platform and be available as a Normative. The policy framework will pre-load support for those mS Monitoring policy types.
TCA Example - Please note that the official version of this will be located in the SDC repository.
1.2 onap.policies.controlloop.Operational Policy Type
This policy type is used to support actor/action operational policies for control loops. There are two types of implementations for this policy type
- Existing Drools implementations that supports runtime Control Loop actions taken on components such as SO/APPC/VFC/SDNC/SDNR
- New implementations using APEX to support Control Loops.
For Dublin, this policy type will ONLY be used for the Policy Framework to distinguish the policy type as operational. The contents are still TBD for El Alto.
Applications should use the following Content-Type when creating onap.policies.controlloop.Operational policies:
Content-Type: "application/yaml; vnd.onap.operational"
1.2.1 Operational Policy Type Schema for Drools
For Dublin Drools will still support the Casablanca YAML definition of an Operational Policy for Control Loops.
Please use the Casablanca version of the YAML Operational Policy format defined https://git.onap.org/policy/drools-applications/tree/controlloop/common/policy-yaml/README-v2.0.0.md.
1.2.3 Operational Policy Type Schema for APEX (El Alto proposal)
The operational Policy Type schema for for APEX will extend the base operational Policy Type schema. This Policy Type allows parameters specific to the APEX PDP to be specified as a TOSCA policy.
1.3 onap.policies.controlloop.Guard Policy Type
This policy type is the the type definition for Control Loop guard policies for frequency limiting, blacklisting and min/max guards to help protect runtime Control Loop Actions from doing harm to the network. This policy type is developed using the XACML PDP to support question/answer Policy Decisions during runtime for the Drools and APEX onap.controlloop.Operational policy type implementations.
The base schema is defined as below:
As with onap.policies.Monitoring policy type, the PolicyTypeImpl implementation of the onap.policies.controlloop.Guard Policy Type is generic to support definition of TOSCA PolicyType artifacts in the Policy Framework using the Policy Type Design API.
For Dublin, only the following derived Policy Type definitions below are preloaded in the Policy Framework. However, the creation of policies will still support the payload from Casablanca.
1.3.1 onap.policies.controlloop.guard.FrequencyLimiter Policy Type
This is WIP for El Alto for the proposed policy type.
1.3.2 onap.policies.controlloop.guard.Blacklist Policy Type
1.3.3 onap.policies.controlloop.guard.MinMax Policy Type
1.3.4 onap.policies.controlloop.Coordination Policy Type (STRETCH)
This policy type defines Control Loop Coordination policies to assist in coordinating multiple control loops during runtime. This policy type is developed using XACML PDP to support question/answer policy decisions at runtime for the onap.policies.controlloop.operational policy types.
2 PDP Deployment and Registration with PAP
The unit of execution and scaling in the Policy Framework is a PolicyImpl entity. A PolicyImpl entity runs on a PDP. As is explained above a PolicyImpl entity is a PolicyTypeImpl implementation parameterized with a TOSCA Policy.
In order to achieve horizontal scalability, we group the PDPs running instances of a given PolicyImpl entity logically together into a PDPSubGroup. The number of PDPs in a PDPSubGroup can then be scaled up and down using Kubernetes. In other words, all PDPs in a subgroup run the same PolicyImpl, that is the same policy template implementation (in XACML, Drools, or APEX) with the same parameters.
The figure above shows the layout of PDPGroup and PDPSubGroup entities. The figure shows examples of PDP groups for Control Loop and Monitoring policies on the right.
The health of PDPs is monitored by the PAP in order to alert operations teams managing policy. The PAP manages the life cycle of policies running on PDPs.
The table below shows the methods in which PolicyImpl entities can be deployed to PDP Subgroups
| Method | Description | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cold Deployment | The PolicyImpl (PolicyTypeImpl and TOSCA Policy) are predeployed on the PDP. The PDP is fully configured and ready to execute when started. PDPs register with the PAP when they start, providing the PolicyImpl they have been predeployed with. | No run time configuration required and run time administration is simple. | Very restrictive, no run time configuration of PDPs is possible. |
| Warm Deployment | The PolicyTypeImpl entity is predeployed on the PDP. A TOSCA Policy may be loaded at startup. The PDP may be configured or reconfigured with a new or updated TOSCA Policy at run time. PDPs register with the PAP when they start, providing the PolicyImpl they have been predeployed with if any. The PAP may update the TOSCA Policy on a PDP at any time after registration. | The configuration, parameters, and PDP group of PDPs may be changed at run time by loading or updating a TOSCA Policy into the PDP. Lifecycle management of TOSCA Policy entities is supported, allowing features such as PolicyImpl Safe Mode and PolicyImpl retirement. | Administration and management is required. The configuration and life cycle of the TOSCA policies can change at run time and must be administered and managed. |
| Hot Deployment | The PolicyImpl (PolicyTypeImpl and TOSCA Policy) are deployed at run time. The PolicyImpl (PolicyTypeImpl and TOSCA Policy) may be loaded at startup. The PDP may be configured or reconfigured with a new or updated PolicyTypeImpl and/or TOSCA Policy at run time. PDPs register with the PAP when they start, providing the PolicyImpl they have been predeployed with if any. The PAP may update the TOSCA Policy and PolicyTypeImpl on a PDP at any time after registration. | The policy logic, rules, configuration, parameters, and PDP group of PDPs may be changed at run time by loading or updating a TOSCA Policy and PolicyTypeImpl into the PDP. Lifecycle management of TOSCA Policy entities and PolicyTypeImpl entites is supported, allowing features such as PolicyImpl Safe Mode and PolicyImpl retirement. | Administration and management is more complex. The PolicyImpl itself and its configuration and life cycle as well as the life cycle of the TOSCA policies can change at run time and must be administered and managed. |
3. Public APIs
The Policy Framework supports the APIs documented in the subsections below. The APIs in this section are supported for use by external components.
3.1 Policy Type Design API for TOSCA Policy Types
The purpose of this API is to support CRUD of TOSCA PolicyType entities. This API is provided by the PolicyDevelopment component of the Policy Framework, see The ONAP Policy Framework architecture.
The API allows applications to create, update, delete, and query PolicyType entities so that they become available for use in ONAP by applications such as CLAMP. Some Policy Type entities are preloaded in the Policy Framework. The TOSCA fields below are valid on API calls:
| Field | GET | POST | DELETE | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (name) | M | M | M | The definition of the reference to the Policy Type, GET allows ranges to be specified |
| version | O | M | C | GET allows ranges to be specified, must be specified if more than one version of the Policy Type exists |
| description | R | O | N/A | Desciption of the Policy Type |
| derived_from | R | C | N/A | Must be specified when a Policy Type is derived from another Policy Type such as in the case of derived Monitoring Policy Types |
| metadata | R | O | N/A | Metadata for the Policy Type |
| properties | R | M | N/A | This field holds the specification of the specific Policy Type in ONAP |
| targets | R | O | N/A | A list of node types and/or group types to which the Policy Type can be applied |
| triggers | R | O | N/A | Specification of policy triggers, not currently supported in ONAP |
Note: On this and subsequent tables, use the following legend: M-Mandatory, O-Optional, R-Read-only, C-Conditional. Conditional means the field is mandatory when some other field is present.
Note: Preloaded policy types may only be queried over this API, modification or deletion of preloaded policy type implementations is disabled.
Note: Policy types that are in use (referenced by defined Policies) may not be deleted
Note: The group types of targets in TOSCA are groups of TOSCA nodes, not PDP groups; the target concept in TOSCA is equivalent to the Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) concept
3.1.1 Policy Type query
The API allows applications (such as CLAMP and Integration) to query the PolicyType entities that are available for Policy creation using a GET operation.
https:{url}:{port}/policy/api/v1/policytypes GET
The table below shows some more examples of GET operations
| Example | Description |
|---|---|
| https:{url}:{port}/policy/api/v1/policytypes | Get all Policy Type entities in the system |
https:{url}:{port}/policy/api/v1/policytypes/{policy type id} eg. | Get a specific policy type and all the available versions. |
https:{url}:{port}/policy/api/v1/policytypes/{policy type id}/versions/{version id} eg. | Get the specific Policy Type with the specified name and version |
3.1.2 Policy Type Create/Update
The API allows applications and users (such as a DCAE microservice component developer) to create or update a Policy Type using a POST operation. This API allows new Policy Types to be created or existing Policy Types to be modified. POST operations with a new Policy Type name or a new version of an existing Policy Type name are used to create a new Policy Type. POST operations with an existing Policy Type name and version are used to update an existing Policy Type. Many Policy Types can be created or updated in a single POST operation by specifying more than one Policy Type on the TOSCA policy_types list.
For example, the POST operation below with the TOSCA body below is used to create a new Policy type for a DCAE microservice.
https:{url}:{port}/policy/api/v1/policytypes POST
Following creation of a DCAE TCA policy type operation, the GET call for Monitoring policies will list the new policy type.
https:{url}:{port}/policy/api/v1/policytypes GET
Now the onap.policies.Monitoring.cdap.tca.hi.lo.app Policy Type is available to CLAMP for creating concrete policies. See the Yaml contribution on the Model driven Control Loop Design page for a full listing of the DCAE TCA policy type used in the example above.
3.1.3 Policy Type Delete
The API also allows Policy Types to be deleted with a DELETE operation. The format of the delete operation is as below:
https:{url}:{port}/policy/api/v1/policytypes/onap.policies.monitoring.cdap.tca.hi.lo.app/versions/1.0.0 DELETE
Note: Predefined policy types cannot be deleted
Note: Policy types that are in use (Parameterized by a TOSCA Policy) may not be deleted, the parameterizing TOSCA policies must be deleted first
Note: The version parameter may be omitted on the DELETE operation if there is only one version of the policy type in the system
3.2 Policy Design API
The purpose of this API is to support CRUD of TOSCA Policy entities from TOSCA compliant PolicyType definitions. TOSCA Policy entities become the parameters for PolicyTypeImpl entities, producing PolicyImpl entities that can run on PDPs. This API is provided by the PolicyDevelopment component of the Policy Framework, see The ONAP Policy Framework architecture.
This API allows applications (such as CLAMP and Integration) to create, update, delete, and query Policy entities. The TOSCA fields below are valid on API calls:
| Field | GET | POST | DELETE | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (name) | M | M | M | The definition of the reference to the Policy, GET allows ranges to be specified |
| type | O | M | O | The Policy Type of the policy, see section 3.1 |
| description | R | O | O | |
| metadata | R | O | N/A | |
| properties | R | M | N/A | This field holds the specification of the specific Policy in ONAP |
| targets | R | O | N/A | A list of nodes and/or groups to which the Policy can be applied |
Note: Policies that are deployed (used on deployed PolicyImpl entities) may not be deleted
Note: This API is NOT used by DCAE for a decision on what policy the DCAE PolicyHandler should retrieve and enforce
Note: The groups of targets in TOSCA are groups of TOSCA nodes, not PDP groups; the target concept in TOSCA is equivalent to the Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) concept
YAML is used for illustrative purposes in the examples in this section. JSON (application/json) will be used as the content type in the implementation of this API.
3.2.1 Policy query
The API allows applications (such as CLAMP and Integration) to query the Policy entities that are available for deployment using a GET operation.
Note: This operation simply returns TOSCA policies that are defined in the Policy Framework, it does NOT make a decision.
The table below shows some more examples of GET operations
| Example | Description |
|---|---|
https:{url}:{port}/policy/api/v1/policytypes/{policy type id}/versions/{versions}/policies eg. | Get all Policies for a specific Policy Type and version |
https://{url}:{port}/policy/api/v1/policytypes/{policy type id}/versions/{version}/policies/{policy name}/versions/{version} eg. | Gets a specific Policy version |
https:{url}:{port}/policy/api/v1/policytypes/onap.policies.monitoring.cdap.tca.hi.lo.app/versions/1.0.0/policies/onap.scaleout.tca/versions/latest GET | Returns the latest version of a Policy |
https:{url}:{port}/policy/api/v1/policytypes/onap.policies.monitoring.cdap.tca.hi.lo.app/versions/1.0.0/policies/onap.scaleout.tca/deployed GET | Returns the version of the Policy that has been deployed on one or more PDP groups. |
| https://{url}:{port}/policy/api/v1/policytypes/onap.policies.monitoring.cdap.tca.hi.lo.app/versions/1.2.3/policies/CL-LBAL-LOW-TRAFFIC-SIG-FB480F95-A453-6F24-B767-FD703241AB1A/versions/1.0.2 GET | Returns a specific version of a monitoring policy |
3.2.2 Policy Create/Update
The API allows applications and users (such as CLAMP and Integration) to create or update a Policy using a POST operation. This API allows new Policies to be created or existing Policies to be modified. POST operations with a new Policy name are used to create a new Policy. POST operations with an existing Policy name are used to update an existing Policy. Many Policies can be created or updated in a single POST operation by specifying more than one Policy on the TOSCA policies list.
3.2.2.1 Monitoring Policy Create/Update
While designing a control loop using CLAMP, a Control Loop Designer uses the Policy Type for a specific DCAE mS component (See Section 3.1.1) to create a specific Policy. CLAMP then uses this API operation to submit the Policy to the Policy Framework.
For example, the POST operation below with the TOSCA body below is used to create a new scaleout Policy for the onap.policies.monitoring.cdap.tca.hi.lo.app microservice. The name of the policy "onap.scaleout.tca" is up to the user to determine themselves.
https:{url}:{port}/policy/api/v1/policytypes/onap.policies.Monitoring.cdap.tca.hi.lo.app/versions/1.0.0/policies POST
Given a return code of success and a "metadata" section that indicates versioning information. The "metadata" section conforms exactly to how SDC implements lifecycle management versioning for first class normatives in the TOSCA Models. The policy platform will implement lifecycle identically to SDC to ensure conformity for policy creation. The new metadata fields return versioning details.
The following new policy will be listed and will have a "metadata" section as shown below:
https:{url}:{port}/policy/api/v1/policytypes/onap.policies.monitoring.cdap.tca.hi.lo.app/versions/1.0.0/policies GET
The contents of the new policy can be retrieved using the ID:
https:{url}:{port}/policy/api/v1/policytypes/onap.policies.monitoring.cdap.tca.hi.lo.app/versions/1.0.0/policies/onap.scaleout.tca GET
3.2.2.2 Operational Policy Create/Update
While designing an operational policy, the designer uses the Policy Type for the operational policy (See Section 3.1.1) to create a specific Policy and submits the Policy to the Policy Framework.
This URL will be fixed for CLAMP in Dublin and the payload will match updated version of Casablanca YAML that supports VFModules.
https:{url}:{port}/policy/api/v1/policytypes/onap.policies.controloop.operational/versions/1.0.0/policies POST
Content-Type: application/yaml; legacy-version
FUTURE: Content-Type: application/yaml; tosca
NOTE: The controlLoopName will be assumed to be the policy-id
3.2.2.2.1 Drools Operational Policy Create/Update
TBD Jorge Hernandez
3.2.2.2.2 APEX Operational Policy Create/Update
The POST operation below with the TOSCA body below is used to create a new Sample Domain test polict for the APEX Sample Domain operational policy type.
https:{url}:{port}/policy/api/v1/policytypes/onap.policies.controloop.operational.apex/versions/1.0.0/policies POST
3.2.2.3 Guard Policy Create/Update
TBD Pamela Dragosh Similar to Operational Policies
3.2.2.4 Policy Lifecycle API - Creating Coordination Policies
TBD Similar to Operational Policies, stretch for Dublin
3.2.3 Policy Delete
The API also allows Policies to be deleted with a DELETE operation. The format of the delete operation is as below:
| Example | Description |
|---|---|
https:{url}:{port}/policy/api/v1/policytypes/onap.policies.monitoring.cdap.tca.hi.lo.app/versions/1.0.0/policies/onap.scaleout.tca DELETE | Deletes a Policy - all versions will be deleted. NOTE: The API call will fail if the policy has been deployed in one or more PDP Group. They must be undeployed first from all PDP Groups. |
3.3 Policy Administration API
The purpose of this API is to support CRUD of PDP groups and subgroups and to support the deployment and life cycles of PolicyImpl entities (TOSCA Policy and PolicyTypeImpl entities) on PDP sub groups and PDPs. See Section 2 for details on policy deployment on PDP groups and subgroups. This API is provided by the PolicyAdministration component (PAP) of the Policy Framework, see The ONAP Policy Framework architecture.
PDP groups and subgroups may be prefedined in the system. Predefined groups and subgroups may not be modified or deleted over this API. However, the policies running on predefined groups or subgroups as well as the instance counts and properties may be modified.
A PDP may be preconfigured with its PDP group, PDP subgroup, and policies. The PDP sends this information to the PAP when it starts. If the PDP group, subgroup, or any policy is unknown to the PAP, the PAP locks the PDP in state PASSIVE.
The fields below are valid on API calls:
| Field | GET | POST | DELETE | Comment | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| name | M | M | M | The name of the PDP group | ||
| version | O | M | C | The version of the PDP group | ||

YAML is used for illustrative purposes in the examples in this section. JSON (application/json) will be used as the content type in the implementation of this API.
3.3.1 PDP Group Query
This operation allows the PDP groups and subgroups to be listed together with the policies that are deployed on each PDP group and subgroup.
https:{url}:{port}/policy/pap/v1/pdps GET
The table below shows some more examples of GET operations
| Example | Description |
|---|---|
https:{url}:{port}/policy/pap/v1/pdps | Get all PDP Groups and subgroups in the system |
| https:{url}:{port}/policy/pap/v1/pdps/groups/onap.pdpgroup.controlloop | Get PDP Groups and subgroups that match the supplied name filter |
https:{url}:{port}/policy/pap/v1/pdps/groups/onap.pdpgroup.monitoring/subgroups/xacml | Get the PDP subgroup informtation for the specified subgroup |
3.3.2 PDP Group Deployment
This operation allows the PDP groups and subgroups to be created. A POST operation is used to create a new PDP group name. A POST operation is also used to update an existing PDP group. Many PDP groups can be created or updated in a single POST operation by specifying more than one PDP group in the POST operation body.
https:{url}:{port}/policy/pap/v1/pdps POST
Other systems such as CLAMP can use this API to deploy policies using a POST operation with the body below where only mandatory fields are specified.
https:{url}:{port}/policy/pap/v1/pdps POST
Simple API for CLAMP to deploy one or more policy-id's with optional policy-version.
https:{url}:{port}/policy/pap/v1/pdps/policies POST
Content-Type: application/json
{
"policies" : [
{
"policy-id": "onap.scaleout.tca",
"policy-version": 1
},
{
"policy-id": "ControlLoop-vDNS-6f37f56d-a87d-4b85-b6a9-cc953cf779b3"
},
{
"policy-id": "guard.frequency.ControlLoop-vDNS-6f37f56d-a87d-4b85-b6a9-cc953cf779b3"
},
{
"policy-id": "guard.minmax.ControlLoop-vDNS-6f37f56d-a87d-4b85-b6a9-cc953cf779b3"
}
]
}
HTTP status code indicates success or failure.{
"errorDetails": "some error message" }
Simple API for CLAMP to undeploy a policy-id with optional policy-version.
https:{url}:{port}/policy/pap/v1/pdps/policies{policy-id} DELETE
https:{url}:{port}/policy/pap/v1/pdps/policies{policy-id}/versions/{policy-version} DELETE
HTTP status code indicates success or failure.
{
"errorDetails": "some error message"
}
3.3.3 PDP Group Delete
The API also allows PDP groups to be deleted with a DELETE operation. DELETE operations are only permitted on PDP groups in PASSIVE state. The format of the delete operation is as below:
https:{url}:{port}/policy/pap/v1/pdps/groups/onap.pdpgroup.monitoring DELETE
3.3.4 PDP Group State Management
The state of PDP groups is managed by the API. PDP groups can be in states PASSIVE, TEST, SAFE, or ACTIVE. For a full description of PDP group states, see The ONAP Policy Framework architecture page. The state of a PDP group is changed with a PUT operation.
The following PUT operation changes a PDP group to ACTIVE:
https:{url}:{port}/policy/pap/v1/pdps/groups/onap.pdpgroup.monitoring/state=active
There are a number of rules for state management:
- Only one version of a PDP group may be ACTIVE at any time
- If a PDP group with a certain version is ACTIVE and a later version of the same PDP group is activated, then the system upgrades the PDP group
- If a PDP group with a certain version is ACTIVE and an earlier version of the same PDP group is activated, then the system downgrades the PDP group
- There is no restriction on the number of PASSIVE versions of a PDP group that can exist in the system
- <Rules on SAFE/TEST> ? Pamela Dragosh
3.3.5 PDP Group Statistics
This operation allows statistics for PDP groups, PDP subgroups, and individual PDPs to be retrieved.
https:{url}:{port}/policy/pap/v1/pdps/statistics GET
The table below shows some more examples of GET operations for statistics
| Example | Description |
|---|---|
https:{url}:{port}/policy/pap/v1/pdps/statistics | Get statistics for all PDP Groups and subgroups in the system |
| https:{url}:{port}/policy/pap/v1/pdps/groups/onap.pdpgroup.controlloop/statistics | Get statistics for all PDP Groups and subgroups that match the supplied name filter |
https:{url}:{port}/policy/pap/v1/pdps/groups/onap.pdpgroup.monitoring/subgroups/xacml/statistics | Get statistics for the specified subgroup |
3.3.6 PDP Group Health Check
A PDP group health check allows ordering of health checks on PDP groups and on individual PDPs. As health checks may be long lived operations, Health checks are scheduled for execution by this operation. Users check the result of a health check test by issuing a PDP Group Query operation (see Section 3.3.1) and checking the healthy field of PDPs.
https:{url}:{port}/policy/pap/v1/pdps/healthcheck PUT
The operation returns a HTTP status code of 202: Accepted if the health check request has been accepted by the PAP. The PAP then orders execution of the health check on the PDPs. The health check result is retrieved with a subsequent GET operation.
The table below shows some more examples of PUT operations for ordering health checks
| Example | Description |
|---|---|
https:{url}:{port}/policy/pap/v1/pdps/healthcheck PUT | Order a health check on all PDP Groups and subgroups in the system |
| https:{url}:{port}/policy/pap/v1/pdps/groups/onap.pdpgroup.controlloop/healthcheck PUT | Order a health check on all PDP Groups and subgroups that match the supplied name filter |
https:{url}:{port}/policy/pap/v1/pdps/groups/onap.pdpgroup.monitoring/subgroups/xacml/healthcheck PUT | Order a health check on the specified subgroup |
3.4 Policy Decision API - Getting Policy Decisions
Policy decisions are required by ONAP components to support the policy-driven ONAP architecture. Policy Decisions are implemented using the XACML PDP. The calling application must provide attributes in order for the XACML PDP to return a correct decision.
3.4.1 Decision API Schema
The schema for the decision API is defined below.
3.4.2 Decision API Queries
Decision API queries are implemented with a POST operation with a JSON body that specifies the filter for the policies to be returned. The JSON body must comply with the schema sepcified in Section 3.4.1.
https:{url}:{port}/decision/v1/ POST

4. Policy Framework Internal APIs
The Policy Framework uses the internal APIs documented in the subsections below. The APIs in this section are used for internal communication in the Policy Framework. The APIs are NOT supported for use by components outside the Policy Framework and are subject to revision and change at any time.
4.1 PAP to PDP API
This section describes the API between the PAP and PDPs. The APIs in this section are implemented using DMaaP API messaging. There are four messages on the API:
- PDP_STATUS: PDP→PAP, used by PDPs to report to the PAP
- PDP_UPDATE: PAP→PDP, used by the PAP to update the policies running on PDPs, triggers a PDP_STATUS message with the result of the PDP_UPDATE operation
- PDP_STATE_CHANGE: PAP→PDP, used by the PAP to change the state of PDPs, triggers a PDP_STATUS message with the result of the PDP_STATE_CHANGE operation
- PDP_HEALTH_CHECK: PAP→PDP, used by the PAP to order a heakth check on PDPs, triggers a PDP_STATUS message with the result of the PDP_HEALTH_CHECK operation
The fields below are valid on API calls:
| Field | PDP STATUS | PDP UPDATE | PDP STATE CHANGE | PDP HEALTH CHECK | Comment | |

YAML is used for illustrative purposes in the examples in this section. JSON (application/json) is used as the content type in the implementation of this API.
Note: The PAP checks that the set of policy types supported in all PDPs in a PDP subgroup are identical and will not add a PDP to a PDP subgroup that has a different set of supported policy types
Note: The PA checks that the set of policy loaded on all PDPs in a PDP subgroup are are identical and will not add a PDP to a PDP subgroup that has a different set of loaded policies
4.1.1 PAP API for PDPs
The purpose of this API is for PDPs to provide heartbeat, status. health, and statistical information to Policy Administration. There is a single PDP_STATUS message on this API. PDPs send this message to the PAP using the POLICY_PDP_PAP DMaaP topic. The PAP listens on this topic for messages.
When a PDP starts, it commences periodic sending of PDP_STATUS messages on DMaaP. The PAP receives these messages and acts in whatever manner is appropriate. PDP_UPDATE, PDP_STATE_CHANGE, and PDP_HEALTH_CHECK operations trigger a PDP_STATUS message as a response.
The PDP_STATUS message is used for PDP heartbeat monitoring. A PDP sends a PDP_STATUS message with a state of TERMINATED when it terminates normally. If a PDP_STATUS message is not received from a PDP in a certain configurable time, then the PAP assumes the PDP has failed.
A PDP may be preconfigured with its PDP group, PDP subgroup, and policies. If the PDP group, subgroup, or any policy sent to the PAP in a PDP_STATUS message is unknown to the PAP, the PAP locks the PDP in state PASSIVE.
4.1.2 PDP API for PAPs
The purpose of this API is for the PAP to load and update policies on PDPs and to change the state of PDPs. It also allows the PAP to order health checks to run on PDPs. The PAP sends PDP_UPDATE, PDP_ STATE_CHANGE, and PDP_HEALTH_CHECK messages to PDPs using the POLICY_PAP_PDP DMaaP topic. PDPs listens on this topic for messages.
The PAP can set the scope of STATE_CHANGE, and PDP_HEALTH_CHECK messages:
- PDP Group: If a PDP group is specified in a message, then the PDPs in that PDP group respond to the message and all other PDPs ignore it.
- PDP Group and subgroup: If a PDP group and subgroup are specified in a message, then only the PDPs of that subgroup in the PDP group respond to the message and all other PDPs ignore it.
- Single PDP: If the name of a PDP is specified in a message, then only that PDP responds to the message and all other PDPs ignore it.
Note: PDP_UPDATE messages must be issued individually to PDPs because the PDP_UPDATE operation can change the PDP group to which a PDP belongs.
4.1.2.1 PDP Update
The PDP_UPDATE operation allows the PAP to modify the PDP group to which a PDP belongs and the policies in a PDP. Only PDPs in state PASSIVE accept this operation. The PAP must change the state of PDPs in state ACTIVE, TEST, or SAFE to state PASSIVE before issuing a PDP_UPDATE operation on a PDP.
The following examples illustrate how the operation is used.
4.1.2.2 PDP State Change
The PDP_STATE_CHANGE operation allows the PAP to order state changes on PDPs in PDP groups and subgroups. The following examples illustrate how the operation is used.
4.1.2.3 PDP Health Check
The PDP_HEALTH_CHECK operation allows the PAP to order health checks on PDPs in PDP groups and subgroups. The following examples illustrate how the operation is used.
4.2 Policy Type Implementations (Native Policies)
The policy Framework must have implementations for all Policy Type entities that may be specified in TOSCA. Policy type implementations are native policies for the various PDPs supported in the Policy Framework. They may be predefined and preloaded into the Policy Framework. In addition, they may also be added, modified, queried, or deleted using this API during runtime.
The API supports CRUD of PolicyTypeImpl policy type implementations, where the XACML, Drools, and APEX policy type implementations are supplied as strings. This API is provided by the PolicyDevelopment component of the Policy Framework, see The ONAP Policy Framework architecture.
Note that client-side editing support for TOSCA PolicyType definitions or for PolicyTypeImpl implementations in XACML, Drools, or APEX is outside the current scope of the API.
Note: Preloaded policy type implementations may only be queried over this API, modification or deletion of preloaded policy type implementations is disabled.
Note: Policy type implementations that are in use (referenced by defined Policies) may not be deleted.
The fields below are valid on API calls:
| Field | GET | POST | DELETE | Comment | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| name | M | M | M | The name of the Policy Type implementation | ||
| version | O | M | C | The version of the Policy Type implementation | ||
| policy_type | R | M | N/A | The TOSCA policy type that this policy type implementation implements | ||
| pdp_type | R | M | N/A | The PDP type of this policy type implementation, currently xacml, drools, or apex | ||
| description | R | O | N/A | The description of the policy type implementation | ||
| writable | R | N/A | N/A | Writable flag, false for predefined policy type implementations, true for policy type implementations defined over the API | ||
| policy_body | R | M | N/A | The body (source) of the policy type implementation | ||
| properties | R | O | N/A | Specific properties for the policy type implementation | ||
4.2.1 Policy Type Implementation Query
This operation allows the PDP groups and subgroups to be listed together with the policies that are deployed on each PDP group and subgroup.
https:{url}:{port}/policy/api/v1/native/onap.policies.controlloop.operational/impls GET
The table below shows some more examples of GET operations
| Example | Description |
|---|---|
https:{url}:{port}/policy/api/v1/native/{policy type id}/impls eg. | Get all Policy Type implementations for the given policy type |
https:{url}:{port}/policy/api/v1/native/{policy type id}/impls/{policy type impl id} eg. | Get all Policy Type implementation versions that match the policy type and policy type implementation IDs specified |
https:{url}:{port}/policy/api/v1/native/{policy type id}/impls/{policy type impl id}/versions/{version id} eg. | Get the specific Policy Type implementation with the specified name and version, if the version ID is specified a latest, the latest version is returned |
4.2.2 Policy Type Implementation Create/Update
The API allows users (such as a policy editor or DevOps system) to create or update a Policy Type implementation using a POST operation. This API allows new Policy Type implementations to be created or existing Policy Type implementations to be modified. POST operations with a new name or a new version of an existing name are used to create a new Policy Type implementation. POST operations with an existing name and version are used to update an existing Policy Type implementations. Many implementations can be created or updated in a single POST operation by specifying more than one Policy Type implementation on the policy_type_impls list.
For example, the POST operation below with the YAML body below is used to create a new APEX Policy type implementation.
https:{url}:{port}/policy/api/v1/native/onap.policies.controlloop.operational.apex/impls POST
Once this call is made, the Policy Type query in Section 3.1.2.1 returns a result with the new Policy Type implementation defined.
4.2.3 Policy Type Implementation Delete
The API also allows Policy Type implementations to be deleted with a DELETE operation. The format of the delete operation is as below:
https:{url}:{port}/api/v1/native/onap.policies.controlloop.operational.apex/impls/onap.policies.apex.bbs.impl/versions/1.0.0 DELETE
Note: Predefined policy type implementations cannot be deleted
Note: Policy type implementations that are in use (Parameterized by a TOSCA Policy) may not be deleted, the parameterizing TOSCA policies must be deleted first
Note: The version parameter may be omitted on the DELETE operation if there is only one version of the policy type implementation in the system
