+## NF SIMULATOR/NETCONF SERVER CLI
+
+### Overview
+Anytime you want to see a basic usage of a tool, you can run fully descriptive help using command:
+```
+./{tool_name}.py -h # --help argument is also acceptable
+```
+
+#### NF Simulator CLI
+NF Simulator CLI provides command line interface to remotely interact with running NF Simulator.
+
+Using the NF Simulator CLI user is able to trigger events, retrieve simulator's configuration and change default VES url stored
+inside simulator.
+
+#### Netconf Server CLI
+Dedicated tool to help with management of the Netconf Server is also available.
+
+Using the Netconf Server CLI user is able to retrieve simulator's cm history stored inside simulator as well as open the live session to actively listen for new configuration changes.
+
+### Requirements and installation
+Requirements
+* Python > 3.5
+
+Installation:
+* Go to directory containing setup.py and invoke `python setup.py install`
+* Go to cli directory
+* Add executable privilege to nf_simulator.py and netconf_server.py (for example `chmod +x <path_to_nf_simulator.py>`)
+
+### Development and testing
+To run unit tests for NF and Netconf servers cli execute `tox`.
+
+To develop unit tests run `tox`, then `source .tox/pytest/bin/activate` and after each code change run `pytest`.
+
+### Nf simulator
+#### Usage
+* [send](#send-action)
+* [configure](#configure-action)
+* [get-config](#get-config-action)
+* [template](#template-action)
+* [filter](#filter-templates-action)
+
+
+#### Help
+Invoke `nf_simulator.py [send|configure|get-config] -h` to display help.
+
+##### Send Action
+Send action allows user to trigger sending events from Simulator to VES Collector.
+
+*sending repeating events backed by template persisted in db
+`usage: nf_simulator.py send template [-h] --address ADDRESS --name NAME
+ [--patch PATCH] [--repeats REPEATS]
+ [--interval INTERVAL]
+ [--ves-server-url VES_SERVER_URL] [--verbose]
+`
+
+Parameters
+` --address ADDRESS` `IP address of simulator`
+` --name NAME` `Name of template file which should be used as a base for event.
+ Cannot be used simultaneously with parameter: event.`
+` --patch PATCH` `Json which should be merged into template to override parameters.
+ Acceptable format: valid json wrapped using single quotes (example:'{"abc":1}').
+ Cannot be used simultaneously with parameter: event.`
+` --repeats REPEATS` `Number of events to be send`
+` --interval INTERVAL` `Interval between two consecutive events (in seconds)`
+` --ves-server-url VES_SERVER_URL` `Well-formed URL which will override current VES endpoint stored in simulator's DB`
+` --verbose` `Displays additional logs`
+
+
+*sending event only once by passing path to file with complete event
+`usage: nf_simulator.py send event [-h] --address ADDRESS --filepath FILEPATH
+ [--ves-server-url VES_SERVER_URL] [--verbose]
+`
+Parameters
+` --address ADDRESS` `IP address of simulator`
+` --filepath FILEPATH` `Path to file with full, legitimate event that is to be send directly to VES only once.
+ This event is not associated with template and will not be persisted in db.
+ Cannot be used simultaneously with parameters: template and patch.`
+` --ves-server-url VES_SERVER_URL` `Well-formed URL which will override current VES endpoint stored in simulator's DB`
+` --verbose` `Displays additional logs`
+
+example content of file with complete event:
+```
+{
+ "commonEventHeader": {
+ "eventId": "#Timestamp",
+ "sourceName": "#Increment",
+ "version": 3.0
+ }
+}
+```
+
+##### Configure Action
+Configure action allows user to change Simulator's configuration (VES Server URL)
+`usage: nf_simulator.py configure [-h] --address ADDRESS --ves-server-url
+ VES_SERVER_URL [--verbose]
+`
+
+Parameters
+
+` --address ADDRESS` `IP address of simulator`
+` --ves-server-url VES_SERVER_URL` `Well-formed URL which should be set as a default VES Server URL in simulator`
+` --verbose` `Displays additional logs`
+
+##### Get Config Action
+Get Config action allows user to retrieve actual Simulator's configuration
+`usage: nf_simulator.py get-config [-h] --address ADDRESS [--verbose] `
+
+Parameters
+
+`--address ADDRESS` `IP address of simulator`
+`--verbose` `Displays additional logs`
+
+##### Template Action
+Template action allows user to:
+* retrieve a single template by name
+* list all available templates.
+* upload template to NF Simulator (can overwrite existing template)
+
+`usage: nf_simulator.py template [-h]
+ (--list | --get-content NAME | --upload FILENAME)
+ [--override] --address ADDRESS [--verbose]`
+
+Parameters
+
+`--get-content NAME` `Gets the template by name`
+`--list` `List all templates`
+`--upload FILENAME [--override]` `Uploads the template given as FILENAME file. Optionally overrides any exisitng templates with matching filename`
+`--address ADDRESS` `IP address of simulator`
+`--verbose` `Displays additional logs`
+
+#### Filter Templates Action
+Filter template action allows to search through templates in order to find names of those that satisfy given criteria.
+Criteria are passed in JSON format, as key-values pairs. Relation between pairs with criteria is AND (all conditions must be satisfied by template to have it returned).
+No searching for null values is supported.
+Search expression must be valid JSON, thus no duplicate keys are allowed - user could specify the same parameter multiple times, but only last occurrence will be applied to query.
+
+
+`usage: nf_simulator.py filter [-h]
+ --criteria CRITERIA --address ADDRESS [--verbose]`
+
+Parameters
+`--criteria CRITERIA` `Json with criteria as key-value pairs, where values can be one of following data types: string, integer, double, boolean.
+ Acceptable format: valid json wrapped using single quotes (example:'{"searchedInt":1}').
+ Cannot be used simultaneously with parameter: event.`
+`--address ADDRESS` `IP address of simulator`
+`--verbose` `Displays additional logs`
+
+
+### Netconf server
+#### Usage
+* [load-model](#load-model-action)
+* [delete-model](#delete-model-action)

+#### Help
+Invoke `netconf_server.py [tailf|less|cm-history] -h` to display help.
+
+
+#### Load-model action
+Loads to netconf server new YANG model that corresponds with schema passed as yang-model parameter,
+assigns name specified in module-name and initializes model with startup configuration passed in config file.
+`usage: netconf_server.py load-module [-h] --address ADDRESS ---module-name MODULE_NAME --yang-model YANG_MODEL_FILEPATH --config <XML_CONFIG_FILEPATH> [--verbose]`
+
+example YANG schema (file content for YANG_MODEL)
+```
+Response status: 200
+module nf-simulator {
+ namespace "http://nokia.com/nf-simulator";
+ prefix config;
+ container config {
+ config true;
+ leaf itemValue1 {type uint32;}
+ leaf itemValue2 {type uint32;}
+ leaf itemValue3 {type uint32;}
+ leaf-list allow-user {
+ type string;
+ ordered-by user;
+ description "A sample list of user names.";
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+example startup configuration (file content of XML_CONFIG)
+```
+<config xmlns="http://nokia.com/nf-simulator">
+ <itemValue1>100</itemValue1>
+ <itemValue2>200</itemValue2>
+ <itemValue3>300</itemValue3>
+</config>
+```
+
+
+example output (without verbose flag):
+```
+Response status: 200
+Successfully started
+```
+
+#### Delete-model action
+Deletes a YANG model loaded in the netconf server.
+
+`usage: netconf_server.py delete-model [-h] --address ADDRESS --model-name
+ MODEL_NAME [--verbose]`
+
+Example output (without verbose flag):
+```
+Response status: 200
+Successfully deleted
+```
+
+#### Get-config Action
+Returns active running configurations.
+By default it returns all running configurations. To retrieve one specific configuration (represented by _/'module_name':'container'_ ) user needs to pass module-name and container.
+Example:
+`
+netconf_server.py get-config --address localhost --module-name nf-simulator --container config
+`
+
+
+`usage: netconf_server.py get-config [-h] --address ADDRESS [--verbose] [--module-name MODULE-NAME] [--container CONTAINER]`
+
+example output (without verbose flag):
+```
+Response status: 200
+<config xmlns="http://nokia.com/nf-simulator" xmlns:nc="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
+ <itemValue1>2781</itemValue1>
+ <itemValue2>3782</itemValue2>
+ <itemValue3>3333</itemValue3>
+</config>
+```
+
+#### Edit-config Action
+Modifies existing configuration (e.g. change parameter values, modify or remove parameter from model).
+To edit configuration, netconf compliant XML file should be prepared and used as one of edit-config parameters.
+`usage: netconf_server.py edit-config [-h] --address ADDRESS --config <XML_CONFIG_FILEPATH> [--verbose]`
+
+example - parameter values modification
+file content:
+```
+<config xmlns="http://nokia.com/nf-simulator">
+ <itemValue1>1</itemValue1>
+ <itemValue2>2</itemValue2>
+ <itemValue3>3</itemValue3>
+</config>
+```
+
+example output (without verbose flag):
+```
+Response status: 202
+<config xmlns="http://nokia.com/nf-simulator" xmlns:nc="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
+ <itemValue1>1</itemValue1>
+ <itemValue2>2</itemValue2>
+ <itemValue3>3</itemValue3>
+</config>
+```
+
+##### Less Action
+Less action allows user to watch historical configuration changes.
+Size of the configuration changes list is limited to the 100 last cm events by default, but can be incresed/decresead using a 'limit' attribute.
+`usage: netconf_server.py less [-h] --address ADDRESS [--limit LIMIT] [--verbose]`
+
+Output from the command can be easily piped into other tools like native less, more, etc. e.g.:
+`netconf_server.py less --address 127.0.0.1 | less`
+
+Last known configuration is last printed to the output, so order of the printed configuration events complies with time when the configuration was stored inside the simulator.
+
+Parameters:
+
+`--address ADDRESS` - `IP address of simulator`
+
+`--limit LIMIT` - ` Number of configurations to print at output`
+
+`--verbose` - ` Displays additional logs`
+
+Single message is represented as a pair of timestamp in epoch format and suitable configuration entry.
+
+##### Tailf Action
+Tailf action allows user to actively listen for new uploaded configuration changes.
+Size of the historical configuration changes list is limited to the 10 last cm events.
+`usage: netconf_server.py tailf [-h] --address ADDRESS [--verbose]`
+
+The listener can be easily terminated at anytime using `CTRL+C` shortcut.
+
+Parameters:
+
+`--address ADDRESS` - `IP address of simulator`
+
+`--verbose` - ` Displays additional logs`
+
+Single message is represented as a pair of timestamp in epoch format and suitable configuration entry.
+
+##### Cm-history Action
+Cm-history action allows user to view list of all uploaded configuration changes.
+`usage: netconf_server.py cm-history [-h] --address ADDRESS [--verbose]`
+
+Last known configuration is last printed to the output, so order of the printed configuration events complies with time when the configuration was stored inside the simulator.
+
+Parameters:
+
+`--address ADDRESS` - `IP address of simulator`
+
+`--verbose` - ` Displays additional logs`
+
+Single message is represented as a pair of timestamp in epoch format and suitable configuration entry.
