2.1 MDS Overview

Measurement Data Streaming feature enhances the processing of the measurements information obtained from DSR to reduce the time taken to detect problems, reuse the existing functionality on DSR, and introduce a new functionality that reduces the changes that are required in the existing software components of DSR.

The usage of Kafka is introduced to pass the information from DSR to the user's infrastructure.

This feature collects statistics data of user enabled measurements using existing Measqt tool and it parses the collected statistics data. After parsing, it converts the data into JSON format and sends it to the Kafka Broker at user configured interval. It also stores all the pending messages in the disk if the connection with Kafka broker fails.
