OSM MON Module
****************

MON is a monitoring module for OSM.
It collects metrics from VIMs and VNFs and exports them to a Prometheus TSDB.
It manages and evaluates alarms based on those metrics.

 - MON Collector: Collects metrics from VIMs and VNFs and then exports them to a TSDB. It uses a plugin model both for collectors and for backends.
 - MON Evaluator: Evaluates alarms and sends notifications through the Kafka bus when they trigger.
