MATRIXX Kafka CDR Consumer
- About MATRIXX Kafka CDR Consumer
  MATRIXX Kafka CDR Consumer provides information about how to install, configure, and extend Kafka CDR Consumer and its out-of-the-box extensions.
  - Updated Information
    This MATRIXX Kafka CDR Consumer publication is updated with each release of the product or when necessary.
- Kafka CDR Consumer Overview
  Kafka CDR Consumer is a cloud native Apache Kafka Consumer microservice that consumes charging data records (CDRs) that are injected into Kafka topics by external systems or from MATRIXX CDRs. The offline Kafka CDR Consumer retrieves the events from the Kafka topics and injects them into MATRIXX Engine for usage rating and charging.
- Deploying Kafka CDR Consumer and Extensions
  Deploying Kafka CDR Consumer and extensions involves installing and configuring the Kafka CDR Consumer and extension Helm charts. This section explains how to install and modify the Helm charts and the properties you configure. For information about the Helm properties, see the discussions about Kafka CDR Consumer properties and each extension.
- Monitoring Kafka CDR Consumer
  Use aggregated logging and the Prometheus and Grafana third-party products to monitor Kafka CDR Consumer.
- TAP3 JSON Kafka CDR Consumer
  The TAP3 JSON Kafka CDR Consumer is an out-of-box extension that consumes JSON-mapped TAP3 messages from Apache Kafka topics and maps them to MtxDiamRoMsg messages for MATRIXX Engine rating.
- Diameter CDR Kafka CDR Consumer
  The Diameter CDR Kafka CDR Consumer is an out-of-box extension that consumes plain MtxDiamRoMsg protocol buffer binary files and maps them to MtxDiamRoMsg charging messages for MATRIXX Engine rating.
- CHF CDR Kafka CDR Consumer
  The CHF CDR Kafka CDR Consumer is an out-of-box extension that consumes plain Mtx5GMsg compact MDCs (CMDCs) and maps them to Mtx5GMsg charging messages for MATRIXX Engine rating.
- Create a Custom Kafka CDR Consumer Extension
  You can create your own custom Kafka CDR Consumer extensions for charging implementations that are not covered by out-of-box extensions delivered with the Kafka CDR Consumer.
- Deploy a Custom Kafka CDR Consumer Extension
  All Kafka CDR Consumer extensions can use the same Helm chart. After you create an extension, you can use a Helm values file to manually deploy the image. Each extension you create can have its own values file.

About MATRIXX Kafka CDR Consumer

Intended Audience

This information is intended for anyone who wants to use or customize Kafka CDR Consumer and its out-of-the-box extensions. Custom services can be extensions, replacements, or entirely new services. Developers and integrators should already be familiar with Apache Kafka, Kubernetes, Helm, Java, container-based management software (such as Docker), charge record formats required for their charging implementation (for example, CSV, JSON, TAP3, and Diameter), MATRIXX Data Containers (MDCs), and MATRIXX charging record formats. For information about MDCs, see MATRIXX Integration.
