Introduction

This repository supports the VES collector interface in O-RAN. It makes use of three containers, the ves-collector container that collects VES events posted by other parts of the O-RAN solution, Grafana, which is used to display measurement (PM) data posted by other entities and InfluxdB which is used to persist the data received by the collector.

Self-Signed Certificates

Following steps are required for self-signed certificate.

1. Create ves-certificate directory on the host system using command "mkdir ~/ves-certificate".

2. Go to ves-certificate directory and use below commands to create self-signed certificate files.

   openssl genrsa -out vescertificate.key 2048 openssl req -new -key vescertificate.key -out vescertificate.csr openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in vescertificate.csr -signkey vescertificate.key -out vescertificate.crt

Third Party Certificates

Third party certificates can be installed by overwriting the file vescertificate.csr, vescertificate.key, and vescertficate.crt in ~/ves-certificate directory of the host system.

Following steps are required to add an entry in the host file

---

Add following entry in host file on the computer from which user want to access Grafana dashboard. <IP Address of VM/Machine on which docker containers are running> smo-influxdb

For Example- Docker container running on the guest VM or different/remote machine having IP Address 192.168.56.110 then host file entry is as follows.

192.168.56.110 smo-influxdb
