+Domain **perf3gpp**
+===================
 
-Healthcheck
-===========
+The purpose of the **perf3gpp** domain is to deliver performance measurements from a network function (NF) to ONAP in 3GPP format.
+The first application of this domain is frequent periodic delivery of structured RAN PM data commonly referred to as Real Time PM (RTPM).
+The equipment sends an event right after collecting the PM data for a granularity period.
 
-Inside HV-VES docker container runs small http service for healthcheck - exact port for this service can be configured
-at deployment using `--health-check-api-port` command line option.
+The characteristics of each event in the **perf3gpp** domain:
 
-This service exposes single endpoint **GET /health/ready** which returns **HTTP 200 OK** in case HV-VES is healthy
-and ready for connections. Otherwise it returns **HTTP 503 Service Unavailable** with short reason of unhealthiness.
+- Single measured entity, for example, BTS
+- Single granularity period (collection *begin time* and *duration*)
+- Optional top-level grouping in one or more PM groups
+- Grouping in one or more measured objects, for example, cells
+- One or more reported PM values for each measured object
 
+Due to the single granularity period per event, single equipment supporting multiple concurrent granularity periods might send more than one event at a given reporting time.
 
+The **perf3gpp** domain is based on 3GPP specifications:
 
+- `3GPP TS 28.550 <http://www.3gpp.org/ftp//Specs/archive/28_series/28.550/>`_
+- `3GPP TS 32.431 <http://www.3gpp.org/ftp//Specs/archive/32_series/32.431/>`_
+- `3GPP TS 32.436 <http://www.3gpp.org/ftp//Specs/archive/32_series/32.436/>`_
 
+The event structure is changed in comparison to the one presented in 3GPP technical specifications. The 3GPP structure is enhanced to provide support for efficient transport.
 
+Definitions for the **perf3gpp** domain are stored in Perf3gppFields.proto and MeasDataCollection.proto, listed below:

+
+API towards DMaaP
+=================
+
+HV-VES Collector forwards incoming messages to a particular DMaaP Kafka topic based on the domain and configuration. Every Kafka record is comprised of a key and a value. In case of HV-VES:
+
+- **Kafka record key** is a GPB-encoded `CommonEventHeader`.
+- **Kafka record value** is a GPB-encoded `VesEvent` (`CommonEventHeader` and domain-specific `eventFields`).
+
+In both cases raw bytes might be extracted using ``org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.ByteArrayDeserializer``. The resulting bytes might be further passed to ``parseFrom`` methods included in classes generated from GPB definitions. WTP is not used here - it is only used in communication between PNF/VNF and the collector.
+
+
+.. _hv_ves_behaviors:
+
+HV-VES behaviors
+================
+
+Connections with HV-VES are stream-based (as opposed to request-based) and long-running. In case of interrupted or closed connection, the collector logs such event but does not try to reconnect to client.
+Communication is wrapped with thin Wire Transfer Protocol, which mainly provides delimitation. Wire Transfer Protocol Frame:
+
+- is dropped after decoding and validating and only GPB is used in further processing.
+- has to start with **MARKER_BYTE**, as defined in protocol specification (see :ref:`tcp_endpoint`). If **MARKER_BYTE** is invalid, HV-VES disconnects from client.
+
+HV-VES decodes only CommonEventHeader from GPB message received. Collector does not decode or validate the rest of the GPB message and publishes it to Kafka topic intact.
+Kafka topic for publishing events with specific domain can be configured through Consul service as described in :ref:`run_time_configuration`.
+In case of Kafka service unavailability, the collector drops currently handled messages and disconnects the client.
+
+Messages handling:
+
+- HV-VES Collector skips messages with unknown/invalid GPB CommonEventHeader format.
+- HV-VES Collector skips messages with unsupported domain. Domain is unsupported if there is no route for it in configuration (see :ref:`run_time_configuration`).
+- HV-VES Collector skips messages with invalid Wire Frame format, unsupported WTP version or inconsistencies of data in the frame (other than invalid **MARKER_BYTE**).
+- HV-VES Collector interrupts connection when it encounters a message with too big GPB payload. Default maximum size and ways to change it are described in :ref:`deployment`.
+
+.. note:: xNF (VNF/PNF) can split  messages bigger than 1 MiB and set `sequence` field in CommonEventHeader accordingly. It is advised to use smaller than 1 MiB messages for GPBs encoding/decoding efficiency.
+
+- Skipped messages (for any of the above reasons) might not leave any trace in HV-VES logs.

+High-level architecture of HV-VES
+=================================
+
+HV-VES Collector is a part of DCAEGEN2. Its goal is to collect data from xNF (PNF/VNF) and publish it in DMaaP's Kafka.
+High Volume Collector is deployed with DCAEGEN2 via OOM Helm charts and Cloudify blueprints.
+
+Input messages come from TCP interface and Wire Transfer Protocol. Each frame includes Google Protocol Buffers (GPB) encoded payload.
+Based on information provided in CommonEventHeader, domain messages are validated and published to specific Kafka topic in DMaaP.
+
+.. image:: ONAP_VES_HV_Architecture.png
+
+Messages published in DMaaP's Kafka topic will be consumed by DCAE analytics application or other ONAP component that consumes messages from DMaaP/Kafka.
+DMaaP serves direct access to Kafka allowing other analytics applications to utilize its data.

+
+.. _authorization:
+
+SSL/TLS authorization
+=====================
+
+HV-VES can be configured to require usage of SSL/TLS on every TCP connection. This can be done only during deployment of application container. For reference about exact commands, see :ref:`deployment`.
+
+General steps for configuring TLS for HV-VES collector:
+
+1. Create the collector's key-store in **PKCS #12** format and add HV-VES server certificate to it.
+2. Create the collector's trust-store in **PKCS #12** format with all trusted certificates and certification authorities. Every client with certificate signed by a Certificate Authority (CA) in chain of trust is allowed. The trust-store should not contain ONAP's root CAs.
+3. Start the collector with all required options specified.
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        docker run -v /path/to/key/and/trust/stores:/etc/hv-ves nexus3.onap.org:10001/onap/org.onap.dcaegen2.collectors.hv-ves.hv-collector-main --listen-port 6061 --config-url http://consul:8500/v1/kv/dcae-hv-ves-collector --key-store /etc/hv-ves/keystore.p12  --key-store-password keystorePass --trust-store /etc/hv-ves/truststore.p12 --trust-store-password truststorePass
+
+
+
+HV-VES uses OpenJDK (version 8u181) implementation of TLS ciphers. For reference, see https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/security/overview/jsoverview.html.
+
+If SSL/TLS is enabled for HV-VES container then service turns on also client authentication. HV-VES requires clients to provide their certificates on connection. In addition, HV-VES provides its certificate to every client during SSL/TLS-handshake to enable two-way authorization.
+
+The service rejects any connection attempt that is not secured by SSL/TLS and every connection made by unauthorized client - this is client which certificate is not signed by CA contained within the HV-VES Collector trust store. With TLS tunneling, the communication protocol does not change (see the description in :ref:`hv_ves_behaviors`). In particular there is no change to Wire Frame Protocol.

+Deployment
+============
+
+To run HV-VES Collector container, you need to specify required parameters by passing them as command
+line arguments either by using long form (--long-form) or short form (-s) followed by argument if needed.
+
+All parameters can also be configured by specifying environment variables. These variables have to be named after command line option name
+rewritten using `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE` and prepended with `VESHV_` prefix, for example `VESHV_LISTEN_PORT`.
+
+Command line options have precedence over environment variables.

+by specifying environment variables named after command line option name
+rewritten using `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE` and prepended with `VESHV_` prefix e.g. `VESHV_LISTEN_PORT`.
+
+Healthcheck
+===========
+
+Inside HV-VES docker container runs small http service for healthcheck - exact port for this service can be configured
+at deployment using `--health-check-api-port` command line option.
+
+This service exposes single endpoint **GET /health/ready** which returns **HTTP 200 OK** in case HV-VES is healthy
+and ready for connections. Otherwise it returns **HTTP 503 Service Unavailable** with short reason of unhealthiness.

+Run-Time configuration
+======================
+
+(see :ref:`deployment`)
+
+HV-VES can fetch configuration directly from Consul service in the following JSON format:
+
+.. code-block:: json
+
+    {
+        "dmaap.kafkaBootstrapServers": "message-router-kafka:9093",
+        "collector.routing": [
+                {
+                    "fromDomain": "perf3gpp",
+                    "toTopic": "HV_VES_PERF3GPP"
+                },
+                {
+                    "fromDomain": "heartbeat",
+                    "toTopic": "HV_VES_HEARTBEAT"
+                },
+                ...
+        ]
+    }
+
+HV-VES does not verify the correctness of configuration data and uses them as is, in particular:
+
+- **KafkaBootstrapServers** is used as host name and port for publishing events to Kafka service.
+- Every **routing** array object specifies one event publishing route.
+
+  - **fromDomain** node should be a case-sensitive string of single domain taken from VES Common Event Header specification.
+  - **toTopic** should be a case-sensitive string of Kafka topic.
+  - When HV-VES receives VES Event, it checks the domain contained in it. If the route from that domain to any topic exists in configuration, then HV-VES publishes that event to topic in that route.
+  - If there are two routes from the same domain to different topics, then it is undefined which route will be used.
+
+The configuration is created from HV-VES Cloudify blueprint by specifying **application_config** node during ONAP OOM/Kubernetes deployment. Example of the node specification:
+
+.. code-block:: YAML
+
+    node_templates:
+      hv-ves:
+        properties:
+          application_config:
+            dmaap.kafkaBootstrapServers: message-router-kafka:9092
+            collector.routing:
+              fromDomain: perf3gpp
+              toTopic: HV_VES_PERF3GPP
+
+Endpoint on which HV-VES seeks configuration can be set during deployment as described in :ref:`deployment`.
+
+HV-VES waits 10 seconds (default, configurable during deplyoment with **first-request-delay** option, see :ref:`deployment`) before the first attempt to retrieve configuration from Consul. This is to prevent possible synchronization issues. During that time HV-VES declines any connection attempts from xNF (VNF/PNF).
+
+After first request, HV-VES asks for configuration in fixed intervals, configurable from command line (**request-interval**). By defualt interval is set to 5 seconds.
+
+In case of failing to retrieve configuration, collector temporarily extends this interval and retries. After five unsuccessfull attempts, container becomes unhealthy and cannot recover. HV-VES in this state is unusable and the container should be restarted.

+
+
+This log message is printed when you do not specify the required parameters (via command line, or in environment variables).
+As described in the above log message, there are a few required parameters:
+**listen port**, **config url** and either **trust store password** and **key store password** if you want to use SSL, or only **ssl disable** if not.
+
+To get rid of this error, specify the required parameters. For example:
+
+- Via command line:
+
+::
+
+    <hv-ves run command> --listen-port 6061 --config-url http://consul-url/key-path --key-store-password password --trust-store-password password
+
+- By defining environment variables:
+
+::
+
+    export VESHV_LISTEN_PORT=6061
+    export VESHV_CONFIG_URL=http://consul-url/key-path
+    export VESHV_KEY_STORE_PASSWORD=password
+    export VESHV_TRUST_STORE_PASSWORD=password
+
+**NOTE**
+
+Command line arguments have priority over environment variables. If you configure a parameter in both ways, **HV-VES** applies the one from the command line.
+
+For more information about **HV-VES** configuration parameters, see :ref:`deployment`.

+This log is printed when you upload a configuration in an invalid format (for example, with missing fields). In the first log you can see that configuration on Consul is:
+
+.. code-block:: json
+
+    {
+        "invalidKey": "value"
+    }
+
+The above is not a valid **HV-VES** configuration, therefore **HV-VES** does not apply it and becomes **unhealthy**.

+The above error is logged when key store is not provided. Similarly, when trust store is not provided, **/etc/ves-hv/trust.p12** file missing is logged.
+**server.p12** and **trust.p12** are default names of key and trust stores. They can be changed by specifying **--trust-store** or **--key-store** command line arguments on deployment.
