Note: If DMAAPHOST provided is invalid, you will see exception around publish on the collector.logs (collector queues and attempts to resend the event hence exceptions reported will be periodic). If you don’t want to see the error, publish to dmaap can be disabled by changing either “collector.dmaap.streamid” on etc/collector.properties OR by modifying the “name” defined on etc/DmaapConfig.json.

Note: In general support for HTTPS also require certificate/keystore be installed on target VM with FS mapped into the container for VESCollector to load. For demo and testing purpose - a self signed certificate is included within docker build. When deployed via DCAEGEN2 platform - these configuration will be overridden dynamically to map to required path/certificate name. This will be exercised post R1 though.

+A client's certificate verification is disabled on the container by default; below are the steps for enabling mutual TLS authentication for VESCollector.

+1) Login to the container
+2) Open /opt/app/VESCollector/etc/collector.properties and edit below properties
+ a) Comment below property (with authentication enabled, standard http should be disabled)
+ collector.service.port=8080
+ b) Enable a client's certificate verification

+5) In order for VESCollector to accept a connection from a client, the client has to use TLS certificate signed by CA that is present in VESCollector truststore. If a default VESCollector truststore is used then a client's certificate may be generated using following steps:
+ a) Generate a client's private key
+ openssl genrsa -out client.key 2048
+ b) Create the signing
+ openssl req -new -key client.key -out client.csr
+ c) Create the client's certificate (CA key password should be obtained from [VESCollectorRepository]/certs/password)
+ openssl x509 -req -in client.csr -CA [VESCollectorRepository]/certs/rootCA.crt -CAkey [VESCollectorRepository]/certs/rootCA.key -CAcreateserial -out client.crt -days 500 -sha256
+6) Simulate via curl (assuming that the certificate was created via step 5)
