+PROJECT DESCRIPTION
+
+---
+This project contains the source code and scripts for the periodic generation of heartbeat events. The folder contains:
+
+ - README.md: this file.
+
+ - LICENSE.TXT: the license text.
+
+ - ves_heartbeat_reporter.c and other .c files: source code that uses the ECOMP Vendor Event Listener Library (VES) to generate the periodic hertbeat events. It reads hb_config.json file for parameter values and poppulate the heartbeat event. If eventName parameter value is not given, the application terminates. If reportingEntityName and sourceName parameter values are not given, then it gets the hostname and poppulates it. If heartbeatInterval is not given, it defaults to 60 seconds. 
+
+ - Makefile: makefile that compiles ves_heartbeat_reporter.c and generates ves_heartbeat_reporter binary.
+
+ - go-client.sh/go-client_2_collectors.sh: bash script that starts up the ves_heartbeat_reporter. It reads input parameters like DCAE IP address and port from configuration files contained in /opt/config. Based on the collector configuration, use go-client.sh for single collector configuration, or use go-client_2_collectors.sh for 2 collectors configuration.
+
+
+USAGE
+-----
+
+Update the configuration files with proper parameters values so that events generated would contain those values
+
+To run the ves_heartbeat_reporter in single collector configuration, please execute the following steps:
+
+ - Make the go-client.sh script executable
+        chmod +x go-client.sh
+
+ - Run the go-client.sh script
+        ./go-client.sh  
+
+For 2 collectors configuration, please execute following steps:
+
+ - Make the go-client.sh script executable
+        chmod +x go-client_2_collectors.sh
+
+ - Run the go-client_2_collectors.sh script
+        ./go-client_2_collectors.sh

+
+PROJECT DESCRIPTION
+
+---
+This project contains the source code and scripts for the generation of fault events. The folder contains:
+
+ - README.md: this file.
+
+ - LICENSE.TXT: the license text.
+
+ - ves_fault_reporter.c and other .c files: source code that uses the ECOMP Vendor Event Listener Library (VES) to generate the fault events. Fault is generated based on the link status. If number of bytes transmitted/received is less than the low water mark, the fault is generated. The application reads flt_config.json file for parameter values and poppulate the fault event. If eventName, eventSourceType, vfStatus, specificProblem or alarmCondition parameter value is not given, the application terminates. If reportingEntityName and sourceName parameter values are not given, then it gets the hostname and poppulates it. If tmp_faultCheckInterval is not given, it defaults to 60 seconds. 
+
+ - Makefile: makefile that compiles ves_fault_reporter.c and generates ves_fault_reporter binary.
+
+ - go-client.sh/go-client_2_collectors.sh: bash script that starts up the ves_fault_reporter. It reads input parameters like DCAE IP address and port from configuration files contained in /opt/config. Based on the collector configuration, use go-client.sh for single collector configuration, or use go-client_2_collectors.sh for 2 collectors configuration.
+
+
+USAGE
+-----
+
+Update the configuration files with proper parameters values so that events generated would contain those values
+
+To run the ves_fault_reporter in single collector configuration, please execute the following steps:
+
+ - Make the go-client.sh script executable
+        chmod +x go-client.sh
+
+ - Run the go-client.sh script
+        ./go-client.sh  
+
+For 2 collectors configuration, please execute following steps:
+
+ - Make the go-client.sh script executable
+        chmod +x go-client_2_collectors.sh
+
+ - Run the go-client_2_collectors.sh script
+        ./go-client_2_collectors.sh

+PROJECT DESCRIPTION
+
+---
+This project contains the source code and scripts for the generation of syslog events. The folder contains:
+
+ - README.md: this file.
+
+ - LICENSE.TXT: the license text.
+
+ - ves_syslog_reporter.c and other .c files: source code that uses the ECOMP Vendor Event Listener Library (VES) to generate the syslog events. Syslog events are generated based on /var/log/syslog entries. If a specific pattern is observed in the syslog file, then it generates the syslog event. The application reads syslog_config.json file for parameter values and poppulate the syslog event. If eventName, eventSourceType, syslogTag and tmp_syslogFile parameter value is not given, the application terminates. If reportingEntityName and/or sourceName parameter values are not given, then it gets the hostname and poppulates it. 
+
+ - Makefile: makefile that compiles ves_syslog_reporter.c and generates ves_syslog_reporter binary.
+
+ - go-client.sh/go-client_2_collectors.sh: bash script that starts up the ves_syslog_reporter. It reads input parameters like DCAE IP address and port from configuration files contained in /opt/config. Based on the collector configuration, use go-client.sh for single collector configuration, or use go-client_2_collectors.sh for 2 collectors configuration.
+
+
+USAGE
+-----
+
+Update the configuration files with proper parameters values so that events generated would contain those values
+
+To run the ves_syslog_reporter in single collector configuration, please execute the following steps:
+
+ - Make the go-client.sh script executable
+        chmod +x go-client.sh
+
+ - Run the go-client.sh script
+        ./go-client.sh  
+
+For 2 collectors configuration, please execute following steps:
+
+ - Make the go-client.sh script executable
+        chmod +x go-client_2_collectors.sh
+
+ - Run the go-client_2_collectors.sh script
+        ./go-client_2_collectors.sh

+
+PROJECT DESCRIPTION
+
+---
+This project contains the source code and scripts for the periodic generation of measurement events. The folder contains:
+
+ - README.md: this file.
+
+ - LICENSE.TXT: the license text.
+
+ - vpp_measurement_reporter.c and other .c files: source code that uses the ECOMP Vendor Event Listener Library (VES) to generate the measurement events. Measurement event is generated periodically on each of the interfaces. It gives the number of bytes/packets that transmitted/received. The application reads meas_config.json file for parameter values and poppulate the measurement event. If eventName parameter value is not given, the application terminates. If reportingEntityName and sourceName parameter values are not given, then it gets the hostname and poppulates it. If measurementInterval is not given, it defaults to 60 seconds. 
+
+ - Makefile: makefile that compiles vpp_measurement_reporter.c and generates vpp_measurement_reporter binary.
+
+ - go-client.sh/go-client_2_collectors.sh: bash script that starts up the vpp_measurement_reporter. It reads input parameters like DCAE IP address and port from configuration files contained in /opt/config. Based on the collector configuration, use go-client.sh for single collector configuration, or use go-client_2_collectors.sh for 2 collectors configuration.
+
+
+USAGE
+-----
+
+Update the configuration files with proper parameters values so that events generated would contain those values
+
+To run the vpp_measurement_reporter in single collector configuration, please execute the following steps:
+
+ - Make the go-client.sh script executable
+        chmod +x go-client.sh
+
+ - Run the go-client.sh script
+        ./go-client.sh  
+
+For 2 collectors configuration, please execute following steps:
+
+ - Make the go-client.sh script executable
+        chmod +x go-client_2_collectors.sh
+
+ - Run the go-client_2_collectors.sh script
+        ./go-client_2_collectors.sh
