Nick Allen commented on METRON-701:
-----------------------------------

The primary tasks for this JIRA include the following.

# Write Profile Measurements to Kafka (in addition to HBase)
# Consume Profile Measurements as an additional source of telemetry
# Create a mechanism to prevent infinite looping of the Profile Measurements

> Triage Metrics Produced by the Profiler

> h3. Problem
> The motivating example is that I would like to create an alert if the number 
> of inbound flows to any host over a 15 minute interval is abnormal.  
> The value being interrogated here, the number of inbound flows, is not a 
> static value contained within any single telemetry message.  This value is 
> calculated across multiple messages by the Profiler.  The current Threat 
> Triage process cannot be used to interrogate values calculated by the 
> Profiler.
> h3. Proposed Solution
> I am proposing that we treat the Profiler as a source of telemetry.   The 
> measurements captured by the Profiler would be enqueued into a Kafka topic.  
> We would then treat those Profiler messages like any other telemetry.  We 
> would parse, enrich, triage, and index those messages.
> This would have the following advantages.
> 1.  We would be able to reuse the same threat triage mechanism for values 
> calculated by the Profiler.
> 2.  We would be able to generate profiles from the profiled data - aka 
> meta-profiles anyone?
