Configuring Edge Kafka and
VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance
Data Collector

You must specify the Edge Kafka and
VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance
Data Collector credentials in the
clientConnect.conf
file and specify the Orchestrator, Edge Kafka, and
VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance
Data Collector details in
esm-param.conf
file located in the Server Manager installation directory.
To specify credentials:
  1. At
    BASEDIR/smarts/bin
    , type the following command:
    sm_edit ../conf/clientConnect.conf
  2. Enter the following line for Kafka, Kafka Keystore, and DCF instance:
    kafka:kafka-edge:<kafka_user_name>:<kafka_password>:<Port>:<Discovery_Topic>:<Monitoring_Topic> kafkakeystore:kafka-edge:<Kafka_Keystore_Location>:<Kafka Keystore Password> dcc:<Data Collection Framework IP address>:< DCC_user_name>:<DCC_password>:<Protocol>:<Port>
    You must add the line for Kafka and DCF instances above:
    ::admin:<E-1.0>94689C5A7C826FD58DDE9F62284A68191EC739743EA25E5E1F76FE49 3337D558
    in the
    clientConnect.conf
    file.
    For example:
    kafka:kafka-edge:kafka-scram-sha-512-client-credentials:<E-1.0>9E9941CB0981689B53B1201246953D8D08C8308C12A860D440AA473E2CE622D5:32092:dcf_disc:dcf_mon kafkakeystore:kafka-edge:/root/cacerts/cacerts:<E-1.0>A2B03F81F53A4EA6ED4E0148818A815AC79B4897CF247803743713DA97A77BAC dcc:xx.xx.xx.xx:admin:<E-1.0>94E8B1AD5BF8F6D7B54E003537A1515AB3F609A6A08D3C4E7EE2730F3389A6CC:https:30002
    For TKG deployments: Kafka broker must be populated with Kafka Edge IP address to be populated as Kafka-edge followed by Kafka port. For example:
    kafka-edge:32092
    For Azure deployments: Kafka Edge IP address followed by Kafka port. For example:
    kafka-edge:32092
    Add the Kafka monitoring topic if user wants to collect the SNMP Performance metrics for vIMS VNF nodes.
  3. Save
    and close the file.
  4. At
    BASEDIR/smarts/bin
    , type the following command:
    sm_edit ../conf/esm/esm-param.conf
  5. Enter the following line for Orchestrator, Kafka and DCF Controller:
    #
    For TKG deployments use below format
    Kafka broker must be populated with Kafka Edge IP address as Kafka-edge followed by Kafka port. For example :
    kafka-edge:32092
    #
    For Azure Deployments use below format
    Kafka Edge IP address followed by Kafka port. For example :
    kafka-edge:32092
    #
    For providing Kafka broker instance use below format
    KAFKA-<Orchestrator_host_IP_address> <Kafka-edge:port>
    # For providing DCF Controller instance use below format
    Data Collection Framework IP address - Virtual IP address of the VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid workload cluster , Azure The external IP address of the istio-ingressgateway
    # For providing orchestrator instance use below format
    ORCHESTRATOR-<orchestrator_IP_Address> CLOUDIFY
    For Example:
    KAFKA-xx.xx.xx.xx kafka-edge:32092 DCC-xx.xx.xx.xx yy.yy.yy.yy ORCHESTRATOR-xx.xx.xx.xx CLOUDIFY
  6. Restart the Server Manager.
