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.
###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
###Developer mode For development of PNF Simulator, run simulator.sh start-dev in order to run Netopeer. After that it is possible to run PNF Simulator from IDE.
