# How to locally run and test KPI manager micro-service

### Pre-requisets 
Ensure the following requirements are met before executing the KPI management service:

1. A virtual enviornment exist with all the required packages listed in ["requirements.in"](https://labs.etsi.org/rep/tfs/controller/-/blob/develop/src/kpi_manager/requirements.in) sucessfully  installed.
2. Verify the creation of required database and table. The 
[KPI DB test](https://labs.etsi.org/rep/tfs/controller/-/blob/develop/src/kpi_manager/tests/test_kpi_db.py) python file lists the functions to create tables and the database. The
[KPI Engine](https://labs.etsi.org/rep/tfs/controller/-/blob/develop/src/kpi_manager/database/KpiEngine.py) file contains the DB string.

### Messages format templates
The ["messages"](https://labs.etsi.org/rep/tfs/controller/-/blob/develop/src/kpi_manager/tests/test_messages.py) python file contains templates for creating gRPC messages.

### Unit test file
The ["KPI manager test"](https://labs.etsi.org/rep/tfs/controller/-/blob/develop/src/kpi_manager/tests/test_kpi_manager.py) python file lists various tests conducted to validate functionality.

### Flow of execution (Kpi Maanager Service functions)
1. Call the `create_database()` and `create_tables()` functions from `Kpi_DB` class to create the required database and table if they don't exist. Call `verify_tables` to verify the existence of KPI table.

2. Call the gRPC method `SetKpiDescriptor(KpiDescriptor)->KpiId` to add the KpiDescriptor to the `Kpi` DB. `KpiDescriptor` and `KpiId` are both pre-defined gRPC message types.

3. Call `GetKpiDescriptor(KpiId)->KpiDescriptor` to read the `KpiDescriptor` from the DB and `DeleteKpiDescriptor(KpiId)` to delete the `KpiDescriptor` from the DB.

4. Call `SelectKpiDescriptor(KpiDescriptorFilter)->KpiDescriptorList` to get all `KpiDescriptor` objects that matches filter criteria. `KpiDescriptorFilter` and `KpiDescriptorList` are pre-defined gRPC message types.
