2 Understanding MDS Functionality

Oracle's DSR Measurements Data Streaming (MDS) feature 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 DSR components (NOAMs, SOAMs, DAMPs, IPFEs) and is filtered, parsed, and sent to remote Kafka clusters. This enables the users to access and understand the metrics in their own servers.
