Simulator that generates VES events related to PNF PNP integration.
##Downloading simulator Official version of simulator can be downloaded for public ONAP docker registry as image. docker login -u anonymous -p anonymous nexus3.onap.org:10003
Another option is to checkout PNF Simulator project from ONAP Git repository.
##Usage of simulator
###Configuration The configuration for simulator is stored in /config/config.json file. It contains all parameters for simulation such as duration time,interval between messages and values of the configurable fields of VES message. If you want to change duration or value of message sending to VES collector you just need to edit this file. The message that is being sent to VES is built inside the simulator and it's content can be found in log of the simulator. Proper config must contain simulatorParams, commonEventHeaderParams and pnfRegistrationParams or notificationParams.
###Running simulator
The recommended way is to checkout PNF Simulator project from ONAP Git repository and use simulator.sh script. If you copy simulator.sh script to another location, keep in mind to copy also docker-compose.yml and directories: config,json_schema and netconf. In order to run simulator, invoke ./simulator.sh start Script downloads if necessary needed Docker images and runs instances of these images.
###Logging It is possible to get access to logs by invocation of ./simulator.sh logs. The content of the logs is related to the last simulator run. Every start of simulator will generate new logs.
###SFTP support PNF Simulator allows to serve files via SFTP server. SFTP server has predefined user sftp-user. Connection to SFTP server is being done with usage of SSH keys. Private key is stored in ssh directory. In order to download sftp-file.txt file simply run sftp -P 2222 -i ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key sftp-user@localhost:sftp/sftp-file.txt In order to add a new file (e.g. test.zip), put the file into sftp directory and run simulator. After that again execute sftp command: sftp -P 2222 -i ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key sftp-user@localhost:sftp/test.zip In order to disable usage of SSH keys and start using password, change in docker-compose.yml service sftp-service entry command from sftp-user::1001 to sftp-user:password:1001
###FTPES support PNF Simulator allows to serve files via FTPES server. FTPES server has predefined user onap with password pano.
####FTPES support with TLS enabled By default TLS support is enabled. In order to verify connection, please use FileZilla for testing.
####FTPES support for TLS disabled For local testing TLS may be disabled, but it's not recommended. In order to set up such configuration, comment or remove in ftpes-server service section in docker-compose.yml following entries:
After that execute ./simulator.sh stop and when it's finished ./simulator.sh start .
In order to connect execute command ftp -p localhost 2221 and, when requested, provide user and password. In order to download a file execute, while still being logged in, get file-name-to-be-downloaded.
###Developer mode For development of PNF Simulator, run simulator.sh start-dev in order to run minimal necessary set of supporting services such as Netopeer of FTP servers. After that it is possible to run PNF Simulator from IDE.
