Cnf Certification's Collector

Description

A Go-based endpoint for collecting Cnf Certification Suites results.

The CNF Certification Suites provide a set of test cases for the Containerized Network Functions/Cloud Native Functions (CNFs) to verify if best practices for deployment on Red Hat OpenShift clusters are followed.

The CNF Certification Suites results are saved in a claim.json file, which in turn, could be sent to the Collector for storing its data.

The Collector can collect data by partner name or anonymously (not saved under any partner name).
Collecting data by your partner name, will allow you to also get all the data saved under this name.

Note 1: Data saved anonymously won't be reachable by the partner sending the data.
Note 2: Collector's data collection is disabled by default, and has to be enabled manually by the user running the CNF Certification Suites.

How to use Collector?

Send data to Collector

Option 1 - Run CNF Certification test suites and send results to Collector

1. Enable Collector's data collection:

   export TNF_ENABLE_DATA_COLLECTION=true

2. Adjust CNF Certification configuration file:
   (see CNF Certification configuration description)

   1. Specify who executed the suites:
      Under the executedBy entry in the tnf_config.yml file, specify who executed the CNF Certification suites (QE\CI\Partner).

   2. (Optional) Save your data in the Collector under partner name:

      • Option 1: Partner's first use of the Collector
        Under the partnerName entry enter your partner name, and under the collectorAppPassword entry enter a password as you like.
        Note: Make sure to save the password for future use.

      • Option 2: Partner who already used the Collector
        Under the partnerName entry enter your partner name, and under the collectorAppPassword entry enter the password you defined in your first use of the collector.

   Example of filled entries in CNF Certification configuration file, to allow data collection by partner name:

   executedBy: "Partner"
   partnerName: "partner_example"
   collectorAppPassword: "password_example"

3. Run CNF Certification suites with the adjusted configuration file.
   (see CNF Certification Test description)

Run Collector Locally

Prerequisites

• Docker or Podman
• MySQL

Build and Run Collector's container locally

Use the following commands to build and run Collector's container and database locally:

• Clone Collector's repository:

  git pull https://github.com/test-network-function/collector.git

• (Optional) Build and Push your Collector image:

  You can build your own collector image

  export REGISTRY="enter_your_registry"
  export COLLECTOR_IMAGE_NAME="enter_your_collector_image_name"
  export COLLECTOR_IMAGE_TAG="enter_your_collector_image_tag"
  make build-image-collector
  make push-image-collector

  Note: If skipping this step, the colletor container will use quay.io/testnetworkfunction/collector:latest image by default.

• Initialize local Collector DB:

  make run-initial-mysql-scripts

• Run Collector's application via container:

  export LOCAL_DB_URL=enter_your_local_IP_address
  make run-collector

• Cleanup after:

  make stop-running-collector-container
