Introduction
""""""""""""
The PM Subscription Handler (PMSH) is a micro service written in Python, which allows for the definition and unlocking
of PM subscriptions on one or more network function (NF) instances.
.. _Delivery: ./delivery.html
Functionality
"""""""""""""
The PMSH allows for the definition of subscriptions on a network level, which enables the
configuration of PM data on a set of NF instances.
Interaction
"""""""""""
Config Binding Service
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The PMSH interacts with the Config Binding Service to retrieve it's configuration information, including the
subscription information.
DMaaP
^^^^^
The PMSH subscribes and publishes to various DMaaP Message Router topics (See :ref:`Topics<Topics>`
for more information on which topics are used).
A&AI
^^^^
The PMSH interacts with A&AI to fetch data about network functions. The ``nfFilter`` is then
applied to this data to produce a targeted subset of NF's.
Policy and CDS
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The PMSH will indirectly interact with Policy and CDS in order to push subscriptions to NF's. A policy will be used to
make a request to CDS, which will apply the subscription to the NF.
