Overview

Service for dynamically add and remove Teldat sensors on the Netflow collector by updating the information on the Chef node.

When a new sensor starts to send data to the Netflow collector, the data will be discarded to a Kafka topic.
dswatcher will analyze the discarded Netflow data looking for a specific Option Template that carries a Serial Number.
dswatcher will look up on the Chef sensor nodes for a node with the Serial number. If this sensor exists, the IP address for the sensor and the Observation ID will be updated with the IP address and Observation ID of the Netflow sender.
dswatcher will listen for alerts about sensors that reached their limits. The sensor will be marked as blocked on the Chef node. When no UUID is specified, i.e. uuid == "*" then all sensors will be blocked.
dswatcher will listen for alerts about counters resets. When this message is received all the sensors block status will be set to false.
dswatcher can check if the Product Type on the Netflow data matches the Product Type specified on the database (Chef Node).
