+Installation
+============
+
+To run VES Collector container on standalone mode, following parameters are required
+
+    ``docker run -d -p 8080:8080/tcp -p 8443:8443/tcp -P -e DMAAPHOST='10.0.11.1' nexus.onap.org:10001/onap/org.onap.dcaegen2.collectors.ves.vescollector:1.3.1``
+
+
+DMAAPHOST is required for standalone; for normal platform installed instance the publish URL are obtained from Consul. Below parameters are exposed for DCAE platform (cloudify) deployed instance
+
+
+- COLLECTOR_IP
+- DMAAPHOST - should contain an address to DMaaP, so that event publishing can work
+- CBSPOLLTIMER - it should be put in here if we want to automatically fetch configuration from CBS.
+- CONSUL_PROTOCOL - Consul protocol by default set to **http**, if it is need to change it then that can be set to different value 
+- CONSUL_HOST - used with conjunction with CBSPOLLTIMER, should be a host address (without port! e.g my-ip-or-host) where Consul service lies
+- CBS_PROTOCOL - Config Binding Service protocol by default set to **http**, if it is need to change it then that can be set to different value
+- CONFIG_BINDING_SERVICE - used with conjunction with CBSPOLLTIMER, should be a name of CBS as it is registered in Consul
+- HOSTNAME - used with conjunction with CBSPOLLTIMER, should be a name of VESCollector application as it is registered in CBS catalog
+
+These parameters can be configured either by passing command line option during `docker run` call or by specifying environment variables named after command line option name
