gNMI Network Automation (Part 3) : gNMI Telemetry, Telegraf & InfluxDB

• containerlab_labs

  3 5 10.0 Python

  Labs collection created using ContainerLab

1) Initiate the topology using Containerlab : $ containerlab deploy -t 04_topology.clab.yml The containlab template loks like follows, you can also find it here.

• Telegraf

  111 13,801 9.9 Go

  Agent for collecting, processing, aggregating, and writing metrics, logs, and other arbitrary data.

  

3) Input plugins : are responsible for transforming incoming data stream from device format (Example : Json , Binary, Protobuffs, etc) to Telegraf Metics format ( Measurement Name, Tages, Fields, Timestamp ), in our case Cisco developed a gNMI Input plugin which has been merged to the main Git for Telegraf which subscribes to gNMI Paths. For the path that I used , please refer to my previous gNMI guide, you can use either Cisco's Yang Paths or OpenConfig's , here I will be using OpenConfig's, this will make it easier to use across many vendors.
