Overview
The community ask is to make it easier to design and on-board custom DCAE analytics. Currently, AT (analytic tools) are deployed by DCAE using Cloudify Blueprint. Blueprint is added to service in SDC during design phase and is distributed with service during distribution phase. Blueprint is not verified by SDC or DCAE. CLAMP checks if blueprint contains specific sections like policy-id however it's not verifying if blueprint will instantiate TCA or not. Clamp assumes it's TCA and draws closed loop flow with TCA as AT. There is no ability to use and configure your own custom analytic. Since usage of custom AT is crucial to manage vnf/pnf instance life-cycle in proper way Closed Loop components should support configuring, deploying and working with custom AT.
Business Requirement
The business requirement is to prepare ONAP Closed Loop components for configuring, deploying and working with custom analytic tool.

Questions to answer:
- How will clamp know how to create configuration for AT (under discussions)
- First idea to solve this problem (still under discussion) is to used concept of configurable template from CDT. This would require user to add additional artifact in SDC. Artifact would be configurable template. Clamp would download it, extract configuration params and prepare view for AT configuration.
