Proposal  Background  Telemetry data formats and semantics / expected actions by management systems vary widely  For Fault Events, vendors use SNMP, 3GPP Corba, MTOSI, OSSJ etc, and semantics can differ (e.g. Critical Severity as “1” or “5”)  For Measurement events (KPI/KCI), vendors deliver CSV or XML based files, with varying internal data formats.  This variance complicates NF integration into management systems  Scope/Deliverables  A VNF Event Stream (VES) Common Event Data Model  Consisting of a Header and an Event Specific Block, with additional Name/Value fields for extensibility  OPNFV support for the VES Common Event Data Model  A VES Agent that can collect the VNF Event Stream data from the VNF and deliver it to the VES Collector  A VES Collector that can consume the VNF Event Stream data, and store the data in a database backend  VES plugins for integration with OpenStack infrastructure services such as Monasca and Vitrage  Documentation and test support (e.g. reference event data)  A plan for upstreaming the project code VES Project Proposal 2 Objective  Enable significant reduction in effort to develop and integrate VNF telemetry-related data into automated VNF management systems, by promoting convergence to a common event stream format and collection system. © 2015 AT&T Intellectual Property.
