1 Introduction

Oracle's Diameter Signaling Router (DSR) Measurements Data Streaming (MDS) solution provides DSR's statistics to remote servers communicating through Apache Kafka in the 3G core network. It provides real-time data like CPU, memory and disk usage, incoming, and outgoing messages, connections information, and so on. This data is collected for all the DSR components (NOAMs, SOAMs, DAMPs, IPFEs, and so on) and is filtered, parsed, and sent to remote Kafka clusters. This enables the users to access and understand the metrics in their own servers.
