Control Loop Event Standarization using VES

Update Log:

The updated presentation and other information now includes a closedLoopFlag field, which was missed in previous submission.

Overview



Current CL event format is based on old structure not expandable to include additional event information if required by downstream.

Problem Statement

Extending VES Data Model to Trigger Close Loop using VES Internal Data Structure to include Control loop specified fields required by Policy to Trigger Close Loop. This approach retains original network event information received (or transferred) into VES under respective domain. The solution ensure all relevant data is at one place for future analysis

Business Requirements

Please see attached PPT.

Current Implementation to implement the control loop requires following data to be placed on the DMaaP:

{
"closedLoopControlName": "ClosedLoop_vSCP",
"requestID": "82ef38ba-2632-4d18-a803-08cf837f14cf",
"triggerID": "107.250.169.145_f5BigIP1461338889739",
"closedLoopAlarmStart": 1461338889739,
"closedLoopEventClient": "microservice.stringmatcher",
"target": "VM_NAME",
"AAI": {
"AICVServerSelfLink": "http://135.25.246.131:8774/v2/81fc2bc61f974de1b5a49e8c2ec090bb/servers/38b28256-a770-4cb2-8724-ea6495123c76",
"VNF_NAME": "vcts3",
"AICVMID": "38b28256-a770-4cb2-8724-ea6495123c76",
"AICTenantID": "81fc2bc61f974de1b5a49e8c2ec090bb",

"LOC_ID": "Middletown",
"AICIdentity": "http://130.3.192.150:5000/v2.0",
"Prov_status": "ACTIVE",
"OAM_IPV4": "107.250.169.145",
"VM_NAME": "basx0001vm034",
"OAM_IPV6": "fe80::f817:3eff:fec3:5d32/64"
},
"from": "DCAE",
"policyScope": "service=vSCP;resource=F5;type=configuration",
"policyName": "configuration.dcae.microservice.stringmatcher.xml",
"policyVersion": "v0.0.1",
"closedLoopEventStatus": "ONSET"
}

Another implementation is to capture the same data in VES commoneventHeader.internalHeader. the data filed are displayed below:



Field name

Format Example/Values

Description

closedLoopControlName

no

mS

string

ClosedLoop-FRWL-SIG_d925ed73-8231-4d02-9545-db4e113213abab322

The closedLoopFlag and closed LoopControlName value is set by the policy defined in Camunda with alarmcondition as key. Camunda, sends the policy update to CAE/PDAS, and HP populates the field during the enrichment

closedLoopFlag

no

mS

string

Y/N

The closedLoopFlag and closed LoopControlName value is set by the policy defined in Camunda. Camunda, sends the policy update to CAE/PDAS, and HP populates the flag if alarmcondition meets the policy keys.

identityUrl

no

A&AI

string

"http://130.3.192.150:5000/v2.0",

get from A&AI

oamIpv4

OAM IPv4 Address

oamIpv6

no

A&AI

string

fe80::f817:3eff:fec3:5d32/64

OAM IPv6 Address

physicalLocationId

no

A&AI

string

Middletown

Physical location of the resource

policyScope

no

mS

string

service=vSCP;resource=F5;type=configuration

The scope of the policy associated with the VES event message

policyVersion

no

mS

string

v0.0.1

The version number of the policy associated with the VES event message

requestId

no

mS

string

"82ef38ba-2632-4d18-a803-08cf837f14cf",

A universially unqiue identifier for the event transaction across all ONAP systems

selfLink

no

A&AI

string

"http://135.25.246.131:8774/v2/81fc2bc61f974de1b5a49e8c2ec090bb/servers/38b28256-a770-4cb2-8724-ea6495123c76",



tenantId

no

A&AI

string

"81fc2bc61f974de1b5a49e8c2ec090bb",

The ID of the provider tenant that owns the resource

tenantName

no

A&AI

string



The AIC tenant name

closedLoopStatus

no

mS

string

onset, abated

The filed provides Closed Loop Status. action is for onset or abated.

The above data from the Excel file (also added as embedded file) shows the data in the internalHeader (attached to commoneventheader) that is required for executing Control Loop. This replicates the data currently passed via API.
Each Service Provider can define and collect data generated within DCAE echo system by micro Services.(an example is included in the embedded excel file).
