1. A data processing method, comprising:
receiving a first message sent by a collector, wherein the first message comprises identification information of the collector, a data type supported by the collector, a coding mode supported by the collector, and an address of the collector;
creating a context of the collector based on the first message, wherein the context comprises the identification information of the collector, the data type supported by the collector, the coding mode supported by the collector, and the address of the collector;
receiving a second message, wherein the second message is used to indicate a data collection requirement;
determining, based on a locally stored context of each collector and the second message, a collector that supports a data type and coding mode in the second message, wherein a context of the collector comprises attribute capability information of the collector;
receiving data description information and reported data from the determined collector that supports the data type and coding mode in the second message, wherein the data description information comprises at least one of a vendor name, network element version information, a data type supported by a network management system, or a coding mode supported by the network management system;
converting the reported data based on the data description information, wherein reported data obtained through conversion meets a virtual network function event streaming (VES) specification; and
sending a VES event, wherein the VES event comprises the reported data obtained through conversion.
