Deployment
============

To run HV-VES Collector container you need to specify required command line options and environment variables.

Command line parameters can be specified either by using long form (--long-form) or short form (-s) followed by argument if needed (see `Arg` column in table below). These parameters can be omitted if corresponding environment variables are set. These variables are named after command line option name rewritten using `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE` and prepended with `VESHV_` prefix, for example `VESHV_CONFIGURATION_FILE`.

Command line options have precedence over environment variables in cases when both are present.

Currently HV-VES requires single command line parameter which points to base configuration file.

.. csv-table::
    :widths: auto
    :delim: ;
    :header: Long form , Short form , Arg , Env form , Description

    configuration-file ; c ; yes ; VESHV_CONFIGURATION_FILE  ; Path to JSON file containing HV-VES configuration

Environment variables that are required by HV-VES are used by collector for provisioning of run-time configuration and are usually provided by DCAE platform.

.. csv-table::
    :widths: auto
    :delim: ;
    :header: Environment variable name , Description

    CONSUL_HOST            ; Hostname under which Consul service is available
    CONFIG_BINDING_SERVICE ; Hostname under which Config Binding Service is available
    HOSTNAME               ; Configuration key of HV-VES as seen by CBS, usually *dcae-hv-ves-collector*

There is also optional command line parameter which configures container-internal port for Healthcheck Server API (see :ref:`healthcheck_and_monitoring`).

.. csv-table::
    :widths: auto
    :delim: ;
    :header: Long form , Short form , Arg , Env form , Description

    health-check-api-port ; H ; yes ; VESHV_HEALTH_CHECK_API_PORT  ; Health check rest api listen port

.. _configuration_file:

Configuration file
------------------

File must provide base configuration for HV-VES Collector in JSON format.

Some entries in configuration can also be obtained from Config Binding Service (see :ref:`run_time_configuration`). **Every entry defined in configuration file will be OVERRIDEN if it is also present in run-time configuration.**

Following JSON shows every possible configuration option. Default file shipped with HV-VES container can be found in the collector's repository (see :ref:`repositories`).

.. literalinclude:: resources/base-configuration.json
    :language: json


The configuration is split into smaller sections.
Tables show restrictions on fields in file configuration and short description.

    Server
    Key                         ; Value type ; Description
    server.listenPort           ; number     ; Port on which HV-VES listens internally
    server.idleTimeoutSec       ; number     ; Idle timeout for remote hosts. After given time without any data exchange, the connection might be closed

    Config Binding Service
    Key                      ; Value type ; Description
    cbs.firstRequestDelaySec ; number     ; Delay of first request to Config Binding Service in seconds
    cbs.requestIntervalSec   ; number     ; Interval of configuration requests in seconds

.. csv-table::
    :widths: auto
    :delim: ;
    :header-rows: 2

    Security
    Key                                   ; Value type ; Description
    security.sslDisable                   ; boolean    ; Disables SSL encryption
    security.keys.keyStoreFile            ; String     ; Key store path used in HV-VES incoming connections
    security.keys.keyStorePasswordFile    ; String     ; Key store password file used in HV-VES incoming connections
    security.keys.trustStoreFile          ; String     ; Path to file with trusted certificates bundle used in HV-VES incoming connections
    security.keys.trustStorePasswordFile  ; String     ; Trust store password file used in HV-VES incoming connections

All security entries are mandatory with `security.sslDisable` set to `false`. Otherwise only `security.sslDisable` needs to be specified. If `security.sslDisable` flag is missing, then it is  interpreted same as it would be set to `false`.

    Uncategorized
    Key                  ; Value type ; Description
    logLevel             ; String     ; Log level on which HV-VES publishes all log messages. Valid argument values are (case insensitive): ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE.


Horizontal Scaling
------------------

Kubernetes command line tool (`kubectl`) is recommended for manual horizontal scaling of HV-VES Collector.

To scale HV-VES deployment you need to determine its name and namespace in which it is deployed.
For default OOM deployment, HV-VES full deployment name is `deployment/dep-dcae-hv-ves-collector` and it is installed under `onap` namespace.

1. If the namespace is unknown, execute the following command to determine possible namespaces.

.. code-block:: bash

    kubectl get namespaces

2. Find desired deployment (in case of huge output you can try final call in combination with `grep hv-ves` command).
You can also see current replicas amount under a corresponding column.

.. code-block:: bash

    ONAP_NAMESPACE=onap
    kubectl get --namespace ${ONAP_NAMESPACE} deployment

3. To scale deployment execute:

.. code-block:: bash

    DEPLOYMENT_NAME=deployment/dep-dcae-hv-ves-collector
    DESIRED_REPLICAS_AMOUNT=5
    kubectl scale --namespace ${ONAP_NAMESPACE} ${DEPLOYMENT_NAME} --replicas=${DESIRED_REPLICAS_AMOUNT}

Result:

.. code-block:: bash

    kubectl get pods --namespace ${ONAP_NAMESPACE} --selector app=dcae-hv-ves-collector
