Introduction
DCAE-DS
DCAE-DS (Design Studio) is a pluggable designer as part of SDC design-time platfroms. DCAE Design Studio enables to define and configure the monitoring flows of DCAE.
The configured monitoring flow is referred to as a monitoring configuration (or MC) or VFC-monitoring templates (or VFCMTs).
The monitoring template is composed from onboarded microServices (mS) models.
SDC Service Context (R2)
DCAE-DS is accessed from the a service context of SDC (specific service model configuration) "Monitoring" - located on the left side categories. This context provides DCAE-DS (as a pluggable designer) the specific service,version and user context to enable or disable capabilities (edit, checkin, checkout).
The initial view in this context presents the "Monitoring Table"
Monitoring Table
This presents all configured MCs assigned to this (referenced) service, their version and submitted state.
| Heading | Description |
|---|---|
| Monitoring Configuration | Indicates the name given to this monitoring configuration. |
| VNFi Name | Indicates the name of the virtual function network instance in the service(s) to which this monitoring configuration is linked. |
| Version | Indicates the version number of the monitoring configuration. |
| Status | Indicates the current status of the blueprint representing the specific monitoring configuration (either Submitted or Not Submitted). |
| Last Updated by | Indicates the unique ID of the administrator who made the most recent changes to this monitoring configuration. |
| Actions | Hover presents supported actions |
Functionality
Users can create a new monitoring configuration based on predefined "MC base template".
If no compatible Base templates are defined a user can "import" a template located from the DCAE-DS MC catalog.
SDC General Context (R3)
DCAE-DS general context is accessed from an upper TAB of SDC (DCAE-DS). This context does does not provide the service specific information to the pluggable designer.
The configuration in this
MC Catalog
Presents all created MCs (not filtered by service).
Functionality
Users can create a new MC which is not assigned to a service.This MC can be assigned to a specific service from
Composition
The use of creating a general MC is for accessing the "composition canvas" which allows the user to drag and connect the required mS applications (only mS onboarded to SDC).
Note: MCs not assigned to a service cannot be distributed using the SDC distribution.
