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.
- 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.
  - Install Kafka CDR Consumer and Extensions
    Install and configure Kafka CDR Consumer or an extension using the supplied Helm chart.
  - Kafka CDR Consumer Properties
    cdr_consumer/r_kafka_cdr_consumer_props.html#reference_amn_k4x_3wb__table_uzz_xhk_xlb describes the properties in the Kafka CDR Consumer Helm values file that configure Kafka CDR Consumer.
- 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.

Install Kafka CDR Consumer and Extensions

Install and configure Kafka CDR Consumer or an extension using the supplied Helm chart.

Procedure

Download the MATRIXX Kafka CDR Consumer image you need.
For information about obtaining images, see the discussion about obtaining and hosting images in MATRIXX Installation and Upgrade.
Source the resources in your registry.
For information about image sources, see the discussion about Docker-based configuration sources in MATRIXX Configuration.
Configure the Helm values file for your installation, making sure to update image.name and image.version to match the image you downloaded.
For information about the Helm values file properties, see the discussions about Kafka CDR Consumer properties and each extension.
Install your consumer configured with the Helm values file. For example, if you set image.name to matrixx-kcc/chf-cdr-consumer in the Helm values file in the previous step, use the following command:
```
helm install my_installation_name helm-repo-name/kafka-cdr-consumer -f values.yaml
```
Where:
- my_installation_name is the name of the consumer you are installing, for example, my_chf_consumer_instance.
- helm-repo-name is the name of your Helm repository.
- values.yaml is the name of your Helm values file, for example, chf-cdr-values.yaml.
This command installs a CHF consumer with the name my-chf-consumer-instance.
Note: If you created a custom Kafka CDR Consumer, and the image name is my-custom-consumer, use this image name in your Helm values file to install your custom consumer. For more information about custom consumers, see the discussion about creating a Kafka CDR Consumer extension.
