It uses [jsonschema](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/jsonschema) -in order to validate the received JSON events against AT&T's published -schema for the API. - -The overall system architecture is shown in Figure 1 and comprises - three key deliverables: - -* The web-application itself. - -* A Backend service. - -* A validating test collector application. - -The Test Collector is described in more detail in the - following sections. The other two components are described in a separate - documents: - -* Reference VNF User Guide - -* Reference VNF Application Note - -Figure 1: Realization Architecture - -![Realization Architecture](images/architecture.png) - -Note that items shown in green in the diagram are existing AT&T - systems and do not form part of the delivery. - -Validating Collector --------------------- - -The validating collector provides a basic test capability for - the Reference VNF. The application implements the Vendor Event - Listener API providing: - -- Logging of new requests. - -- Validating requests against the published schema. - -- Validating the credentials provided in the request. - -- Responding with a 202 Accepted for valid requests. - -- Test Control endpoint allowing a test harness or user to set a pending - commandList, to be sent in response to the next event received. - -- Responding with a 202 Accepted plus a pending commandList. - -- Responding with a 401 Unauthorized error response-code and a JSON - exception response for failed authentication. - -It is intended to be used in environments where the "real" AT&T - Vendor Event Listener service is not available in order to test the - Reference VNF or, indeed, any other software which needs to send - events to a server. - -Using the Validating Collector -============================== - -The test collector can be run manually, either on a Linux platform - or a Windows PC. It is invoked with a number of command-line - arguments: - -``` - C:> python collector.py --config <file> - --section <section> - --verbose -``` - -Where: - - - **config** defines the path to the config file to be used. - - - **section** defines the section in the config file to be used. - - - **verbose** controls the level of logging to be generated. - -Wherever you chose to run the Test Collector, note that the - configuration of the backend service running on the VM generating - the events has to match so that the events generated by the backend - service are sent to the correct location and the Test Collector is - listening on the correct ports and URLs. The relevant section of the - Test Collector config file is: - -``` - #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - # Details of the Vendor Event Listener REST service. - # - # REST resources are defined with respect to a ServerRoot: - # ServerRoot = https://{Domain}:{Port}/{optionalRoutingPath} - # - # REST resources are of the form: - # * {ServerRoot}/eventListener/v{apiVersion} - # * {ServerRoot}/eventListener/v{apiVersion}/{topicName} - # * {ServerRoot}/eventListener/v{apiVersion}/eventBatch - # * {ServerRoot}/eventListener/v{apiVersion}/clientThrottlingState - # - # The "vel\_topic\_name" parameter is used as the "topicName" element in the path - # and may be empty. - # - # Note that the path, if present, should have no leading "/" but should have a - # training "/". - #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - vel_domain = 127.0.0.1 - vel_port = 30000 - vel_path = vendor_event_listener/ - vel_username = Alice - vel_password = This isn't very secure! - vel_topic_name = example_vnf -``` -The equivalent section of the backend service's configuration has to - match, or the equivalent parameters injected in the VM by the - OpenStack metadata service have to match. - -When events are sent from the web application, the results of the - validation will be displayed on stdout and be written to the log - file specified in the configuration file. - -For example: A Fault event failing to validate: - -``` - <machine name>; - - [29/Feb/2016 10:58:28] "POST - /vendor_event_listener/eventListener/v1/example_vnf HTTP/1.1" 204 0 - Event is not valid against schema!
