5 Configuring OCNADD Using CNC Console

OCNADD provides a console interface using the highly secure GUI service, which allows you to use an interactive interface for interacting with the other OCNADD services.

This chapter describes how to configure different services in Oracle Communications Network Analytics Data Director (OCNADD) or access OCNADD dashboards using Oracle Communications Cloud Native Configuration Console (CNC Console).

It also describes how to configure different global and service parameters in OCNADD, create and manage data feeds, data filters, and monitor alarms using the CNC Console.

OCNADD Console Interface

This section provides an overview of the CNC Console, which includes an interface to help in creating data feeds, data filters, and access dashboards in OCNADD.

You can use OCNADD integration with CNC Console, only after logging successfully into the CNC Console application. To log in successfully into CNC Console, ensure that the CNC Console installation steps are complete. For more information about GUI installation, see "Installing OCNADD GUI" section of Oracle Communications Network Analytics Data Director Installation, Upgrade, and Fault Recovery Guide

Note:

Before logging in to the OCNADD Console, create a user and password. Using these login details, you can log in to the OCNADD Console application. For more information about creating a user and password, see Oracle Communications Cloud Native Configuration Console Installation Guide.
To log in to OCNADD Console:
  1. Open a web browser and enter the URL: http://cncc-core-ingress-gateway.cncc.svc.cluster.local:port number/ and press Enter.

    Note:

    port number is the cncc-iam-ingress-port number.

    The login page opens.

  2. Enter the Username and Password.
  3. Click Sign In.
  4. On the Welcome page, select the required instance from the Please Select Instance drop-down field.

    This opens the Console home page for the selected instance.

  5. To use OCNADD services integrated with the Console, click Data Director in the left navigation pane.

5.1 Home Page Display and Operations

After you log in, the GUI displays the OCNADD home page as the default landing page.

The following screen capture shows an illustration of the OCNADD home page:


OCNADD Home Page

The home page consists the following element:

Create Data Feed button

Use this button to create new feeds. For more information about creating data feeds, see Data Feeds List.

Note:

OCNADD shows the above home page as the default landing page when no data feeds have been created previously. However, once you create at least one data feed, the home page switches to the Data Feeds page as default landing page, which lists all the available data feeds.

    Connection Type Select one of the following drop-down items:
    • HTTP2
    • H2C
    • TCP
    • TCP_SECURED
    Note:
    • Top create a Synthetic Feed, select Connection Type as TCP or TCP_SECURED.
    • TCP and TCP_SECURED are not applicable to a IPv6 deployment. Hence, Synthetic Feed is not supported in a IPv6 deployment.
    Does your application require synthetic data? This switch is updated based on the selected Connection Type.

    Note: It is only enabled for TCP and TCP_SECURED connection types.

    Do you want to include meta data? Toggle this switch to include or skip metadata. The switch indicates if the outbound packet from the OCNADD should contain the optional metadata. By default, the switch remains enabled.
  2. Select security level using the following options:

    Note:

    Only one Select security level type can be selected at a time. Also, the options available to select from is automatically updated as per the selected Connection Type.

    Connection Type Available Security Level Options
    HTTP2
    • Oracle Approved TLS: TLS cipher is selected automatically from an Oracle approved Cipher Suite during the handshake with the peer.
    • Static Key TLS: The data is transferred to HTTP/2 peer using a Static Key Cipher. Data Director security is weakened as forward secrecy is not supported. Proceed at your own risk.
      If Static Key TLS is selected, the following options are available to select from the Select Static Cipher drop-down:
      • TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
      • TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384

    TCP No TLS: The data is transferred to HTTP/2 peer over cleartext TCP. Security is weakened as there is no secrecy of data. Proceed at your own risk.
    TCP_SECURED
    • Oracle Approved TLS: TLS Cipher is selected automatically from an Oracle approved Cipher Suite during the handshake with the peer.
    • Static Key TLS: The data is transferred to HTTP/2 peer using a Static Key Cipher. Data Director security is weakened as forward secrecy is not supported. Proceed at your own risk.
      If Static Key TLS is selected, the following options are available to select from the Select Static Cipher drop-down:

    • In a IPv6 deployment, provide a valid IPv6 address, where Application IP should be enclosed in a square bracket. For example, https://[2606:b400:c10:5018::a]:9090/v1 for a https protocol.

    Use the Plus or Delete button to add or remove destinations.

    If multiple destinations are configured, the option to select the Select distribution type is enabled.

    If the Select distribution type selected is Weighted Load Balancing. The user can assign load factors to each destination individually. The load factor is a percentage value between 0 to 100. The sum total of the load factors assigned to each destination must be 100%.

    Select distribution type When multiple destinations are configured, the user can select the distribution type by using Load Balancing Type drop-down menu. The options available are:
    • Round Robin: This option is selected by default.
    • Weighted Load Balancing: When multiple destinations are configured, the user can assign load factors to each destination. The sum total of the load factors assigned to each destination must be 100%.
