CLAMP also allows to visualize control loop metrics through a dashboard, in order

At a higher level, CLAMP is about supporting and managing the broad operational
life cycle of VNFs/VMs and ultimately ONAP components itself. It will offer the
ability to design, test, deploy and update control loop automation - both closed
and open. Automating these functions would represent a significant saving on
operational costs compared to traditional methods.
