callback receiver - a stub interface to receive callbacks

The callback receiver is intended for function tests to simulate a RAPP. The callback receiver exposes the read and write urls, used by the agent, as configured in service. The callback receiver receives notifications from PMS when synchronization happens between PMS and RICs. However, the callback receiver can be uses to receive any json payload from any source.

Ports and certificates

The CR normally opens the port 8090 for http. If a certificate and a key are provided the simulator will also open port 8091 for https. The certificate and key shall be placed in the same dir and the dir shall be mounted to /usr/src/app/cert in the container.

PortProtocol
8090http
8091https

The dir cert contains a self-signed cert. Use the script generate_cert_and_key.sh to generate a new certificate and key. The password of the certificate must be set 'test'. The same urls are available on both the http port 8090 and the https port 8091. If using curl and https, the flag -k shall be given to make curl ignore checking the certificate.

Control interface

The control interface can be used by any test script. The following REST operations are available:

Send a message to CR
This method puts a request message from PMS to notify that sychronization between PMS and certain RIC happens.
URI and payload, (PUT or POST): /callbacks/<id> <json messages>
response: OK 200 or 500 for other errors

Fetch one message for an id from CR
This method fetches the oldes message for an id, and removes the message.
URI and payload, (GET): /get-event/<id>
response: <json messages> 200 or 500 for other errors

Fetch all messages for an id from CR
This method fetches all message in an array for an id, and removes all messages.
URI and payload, (GET): /get-all-events/<id>
response: <json array of json messages> 200 or 500 for other errors

Dump all currently wating callback messages in CR
This method fetches all message in an array for an id. Messages are left intact in the CR.
URI and payload, (GET): /db
response: <json> 200

Metrics - counters
There are a number of counters that can be read to monitor the message processing. Do a http GET on any of the current counters and an integer value will be returned with http response code 200. /counter/received_callbacks - The total number of received callbacks
/counter/fetched_callbacks - The total number of fetched callbacks
/counter/current_messages - The current number of callback messages waiting to be fetched
All counters also support the query parameter "id" to fetch counter for one individual id, eg /counter/current_messages?id=my-id

Build and start

Build image
docker build --build-arg NEXUS_PROXY_REPO=nexus3.onap.org:10001/ -t callback-receiver .

Start the image on both http and https
docker run --rm -it -p 8090:8090 -p 8091:8091 callback-receiver

It will listen to http 8090 port and https 8091 port(using default certificates) at the same time.

By default, this image has default certificates under /usr/src/app/cert file "cert.crt" is the certificate file file "key.crt" is the key file file "generate_cert_and_key.sh" is a shell script to generate certificate and key file "pass" stores the password when you run the shell script

This certificates/key can be overriden by mounting a volume when using "docker run" or "docker-compose" In 'docker run', use field:

-v "$PWD/certificate:/usr/src/app/cert"

eg:

docker run --rm -it -p 8090:8090 -p 8091:8091 -v "/PATH_TO_CERT/cert:/usr/src/app/cert" callback-receiver

In 'docker-compose.yml', use field:

volumes: - ./certificate:/usr/src/app/cert:ro

The script cr-build-start.sh do the above two steps in one go. This starts the callback-receiver container in stand-alone mode for basic test.
If the callback-receiver should be executed manually with the agent, replace docker run with this command to connect to the docker network with the correct service name (--name shall be aligned with the other components, i.e. the host named given in all callback urls).

docker run --rm -it -p 8090:8090 -p 8091:8091 --network nonrtric-docker-net --name callback-receiver callback-receiver

Start the image on http only
docker run --rm -it -p 8090:8090 callback-receiver

Basic test

Basic test is made with the script basic_test.sh nonsecure|secure which tests all the available urls with a subset of the possible operations. Use the script cr-build-start.sh to start the callback-receiver in a container first.
