Configure Model-driven Telemetry

Model-driven Telemetry (MDT) provides a mechanism to stream data from an MDT-capable device to a destination. The data to be streamed is defined through subscription.

The data to be streamed is subscribed from a data set in a YANG model. The data from the subscribed data set is streamed out to the destination either at a configured periodic interval or only when an event occurs. This behavior is based on whether MDT is configured for cadence-based telemetry or event-based telemetry (EDT).

The configuration for event-based telemetry is similar to cadence-based telemetry, with only the sample interval as the differentor. Configuring the sample interval value to zero sets the subscription for event-based telemetry, while configuring the interval to any non-zero value sets the subscription for cadence-based telemetry.

The following YANG models are used to configure and monitor MDT:

  • Cisco-IOS-XR-telemetry-model-driven-cfg.yang and openconfig-telemetry.yang: configure MDT using NETCONF or merge-config over grpc.

  • Cisco-IOS-XR-telemetry-model-driven-oper.yang: get the operational information about MDT.

For the nodes that support event-driven telemetry (EDT), the YANG model is annotated with the statement xr:event-telemetry. For example, the interface that supports EDT has an annotation as shown in the following example:

leaf interface-name {
      xr:event-telemetry "Subscribe Telemetry Event";
      type xr:Interface-name;
      description "Member's interface name";
    }

The process of streaming MDT data uses these components:

  • Destination: specifies one or more destinations to collect the streamed data.

  • Sensor path: specifies the YANG path from which data has to be streamed.

  • Subscription: binds one or more sensor-paths to destinations, and specifies the criteria to stream data. In cadence-based telemetry, data is streamed continuously at a configured frequency. In event-based telemetry, data is streamed only when a change in the state or data for the configured model occurs.

  • Transport and encoding: represents the delivery mechanism of telemetry data.

For more information about the core components, see Core Components of Model-driven Telemetry Streaming.

The options to initialize a telemetry session between the router and destination is based on two modes:

  • Dial-out mode: The router initiates a session to the destinations based on the subscription.

  • Dial-in mode: The destination initiates a session to the router and subscribes to data to be streamed.


    Note

    Dial-in mode is supported only over gRPC.



Important

From Release 6.1.1 onwards, Cisco introduces support for the 64-bit Linux-based IOS XR operating system. The 64-bit platforms, such as NCS5500, NCS5000, ASR9000 support gRPC, UDP and TCP protocols. All 32-bit IOS XR platforms, such as CRS and legacy ASR9000, support only TCP protocol.


Streaming model-driven telemetry data to the intended receiver involves these tasks:

Configure Dial-out Mode

In a dial-out mode, the router initiates a session to the destinations based on the subscription.

All 64-bit IOS XR platforms (except for NCS 6000 series routers) support gRPC and TCP protocols. All 32-bit IOS XR platforms support only TCP.

MDT supports sourcing from virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) interface for TCP and gRPC protocols. Source interface and VRF can be configured in dial-out mode. If both VRF and source interface are configured, the source interface must be in the same VRF as the one specified under destination group for the session to be established.

For more information about the dial-out mode, see Dial-out Mode.

The process to configure a dial-out mode involves:

Create a Destination Group

The destination group specifies the destination address, port, encoding and transport that the router uses to send out telemetry data.

A VRF in the destination group implies that the connection to the destination must be created in the specified VRF.

  1. Identify the destination address, port, transport, and encoding format.

  2. Create a destination group.
    
    Router(config)#telemetry model-driven
    Router(config-model-driven)#destination-group <group-name>
    Router(config-model-driven-dest)#vrf <vrf-name> 
    Router(config-model-driven-dest)#address family ipv4 <IP-address> port <port-number>  
    Router(config-model-driven-dest-addr)#encoding <encoding-format>  
    Router(config-model-driven-dest-addr)#protocol <transport> 
    Router(config-model-driven-dest-addr)#commit   
    

Example: Destination Group for TCP Dial-out

The following example shows a destination group DGroup1 created for TCP dial-out configuration with key-value Google Protocol Buffers (also called self-describing-gpb) encoding:

Router(config)#telemetry model-driven
Router(config-model-driven)#destination-group DGroup1 
Router(config-model-driven-dest)#address family ipv4 172.0.0.0 port 5432  
Router(config-model-driven-dest-addr)#encoding self-describing-gpb  
Router(config-model-driven-dest-addr)#protocol tcp  
Router(config-model-driven-dest-addr)#commit   

Example: Destination Group for UDP Dial-out

The following example shows a destination group DGroup1 created for UDP dial-out configuration with key-value Google Protocol Buffers (also called self-describing-gpb) encoding:

Router(config)#telemetry model-driven
Router(config-model-driven)#destination-group DGroup1 
Router(config-model-driven-dest)#address family ipv4 172.0.0.0 port 5432  
Router(config-model-driven-dest-addr)#encoding self-describing-gpb  
Router(config-model-driven-dest-addr)#protocol udp  
Router(config-model-driven-dest-addr)#commit   

The UDP destination is shown as Active irrespective of the state of the collector because UDP is connectionless.

Model-driven Telemetry with UDP is not suitable for a busy network. There is no retry if a message is dropped by the network before it reaches the collector.

Example: Destination Group for gRPC Dial-out


Note

gRPC is supported in only 64-bit platforms.


gRPC protocol supports TLS and model-driven telemetry uses TLS to dial-out by default. The certificate must be copied to /misc/config/grpc/dialout/. To by-pass the TLS option, use protocol grpc no-tls.
The following is an example of a certificate to which the server certificate is connected:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#run

Wed Aug 24 05:05:46.206 UTC
[xr-vm_node0_RP0_CPU0:~]$ls -l /misc/config/grpc/dialout/
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4017 Aug 19 19:17 dialout.pem
[xr-vm_node0_RP0_CPU0:~]$
The CN (CommonName) used in the certificate must be configured as protocol grpc tls-hostname <>.
The following example shows a destination group DGroup2 created for gRPC dial-out configuration with key-value GPB encoding, and with tls disabled:

Router(config)#telemetry model-driven
Router(config-model-driven)#destination-group DGroup2
Router(config-model-driven-dest)#address family ipv4 172.0.0.0 port 57500
Router(config-model-driven-dest-addr)#encoding self-describing-gpb
Router(config-model-driven-dest-addr)#protocol grpc no-tls
Router(config-model-driven-dest-addr)#commit
The following example shows a destination group DGroup2 created for gRPC dial-out configuration with key-value GPB encoding, and with tls hostname:

Configuration with tls-hostname:
Router(config)#telemetry model-driven
Router(config-model-driven)#destination-group DGroup2
Router(config-model-driven-dest)#address family ipv4 172.0.0.0 port 57500
Router(config-model-driven-dest-addr)#encoding self-describing-gpb
Router(config-model-driven-dest-addr)#protocol grpc tls-hostname hostname.com
Router(config-model-driven-dest-addr)#commit

Note

If only the protocol grpc is configured without tls option, tls is enabled by default and tls-hostname defaults to the IP address of the destination.

What to Do Next:

Create a sensor group.

Create a Sensor Group

The sensor-group specifies a list of YANG models that are to be streamed.

  1. Identify the sensor path for XR YANG model.

  2. Create a sensor group.
    
    Router(config)#telemetry model-driven
    Router(config-model-driven)#sensor-group <group-name>
    Router(config-model-driven-snsr-grp)# sensor-path <XR YANG model>
    Router(config-model-driven-snsr-grp)# commit
    

Example: Sensor Group for Dial-out


Note

gRPC is supported in only 64-bit platforms.


The following example shows a sensor group SGroup1 created for dial-out configuration with the YANG model for interface statistics:

Router(config)#telemetry model-driven
Router(config-model-driven)#sensor-group SGroup1
Router(config-model-driven-snsr-grp)# sensor-path Cisco-IOS-XR-infra-statsd-oper:infra-statistics/interfaces/interface/latest/generic-counters
Router(config-model-driven-snsr-grp)# commit

What to Do Next:

Create a subscription.

Create a Subscription

The subscription associates a destination-group with a sensor-group and sets the streaming method - cadence-based or event-based telemetry.

A source interface in the subscription group specifies the interface that will be used for establishing the session to stream data to the destination. If both VRF and source interface are configured, the source interface must be in the same VRF as the one specified under destination group for the session to be established.


Router(config)#telemetry model-driven  
Router(config-model-driven)#subscription <subscription-name>  
Router(config-model-driven-subs)#sensor-group-id <sensor-group> sample-interval <interval>  
Router(config-model-driven-subs)#destination-id <destination-group>
Router(config-model-driven-subs)#source-interface <source-interface>
Router(config-mdt-subscription)#commit  

Example: Subscription for Cadence-based Dial-out Configuration

The following example shows a subscription Sub1 that is created to associate the sensor-group and destination-group, and configure an interval of 30 seconds to stream data:

Router(config)#telemetry model-driven  
Router(config-model-driven)#subscription Sub1  
Router(config-model-driven-subs)#sensor-group-id SGroup1 sample-interval 30000  
Router(config-model-driven-subs)#destination-id DGroup1  
Router(config-mdt-subscription)# commit  

Example: Subscription for Event-based Dial-out Configuration

The following example shows a subscription Sub1 that is created to associate the sensor-group and destination-group, and configure event-based method to stream data:

Router(config)#telemetry model-driven  
Router(config-model-driven)#subscription Sub1  
Router(config-model-driven-subs)#sensor-group-id SGroup1 sample-interval 0  
Router(config-model-driven-subs)#destination-id DGroup1  
Router(config-mdt-subscription)# commit  

Example: Configure Event-driven Telemetry for Interface Path

What to Do Next:

Validate the configuration.

Validate Dial-out Configuration

Use the following command to verify that you have correctly configured the router for dial-out.


Router#show telemetry model-driven subscription <subscription-group-name>

Example: Configure Event-driven Telemetry for LLDP

Telemetry supports NETCONF event notifications where the NETCONF client is configured to receive event notifications from a NETCONF server through a subscription. The NETCONF client must subscribe using a create-subscription request. Currently, only the events from Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is supported. These event notifications are sent until either the NETCONF session or the subscription is terminated.


Note

Configuring a sensor group and a subscription is not required for receiving NETCONF notifications. While sensor path and subscription configurations are required for receiving telemetry events, NETCONF create-subscription is required for receiving NETCONF notifications.


To generate NETCONF notifications:
  1. Enable NETCONF agent and SSH sub system.
    
    ssh server netconf
    netconf-yang agent ssh
    
  2. Enable model-driven telemetry.
    
    telemetry model-driven
    
  3. Enable LLDP.
    lldp
    

This example shows event-driven telemetry fo LLDP configuration data.

  1. Create a destination group.
    
    grpc
    port 56782
    address-family ipv4
    !
    telemetry model-driven
    destination-group <destination-udp>
      address-family ipv4 <client-ip>1 port <udp port num>
       encoding self-describing-gpb
       protocol udp
      !
    !
    destination-group <destination-tcp>
      address-family ipv4 <client-ip> port <tcp port num>

    destination-group <destination-grpc>
      address-family ipv4 <grpc client ip>port <grpc port num>
       encoding self-describing-gpb
       protocol grpc no-tls
    
  2. Create a sensor group.
    
    sensor-group <sensor-group-name>
      sensor-path Cisco-IOS-XR-ethernet-lldp-oper:lldp/global-lldp/lldp-info 
      sensor-path Cisco-IOS-XR-ethernet-lldp-oper:lldp/nodes/node/interfaces/interface  
      sensor-path Cisco-IOS-XR-ethernet-lldp-oper:lldp/nodes/node/neighbors/details/detail    
     !
    
  3. Create a subscription.
    subscription udp-out
      sensor-group-id <sensor-group-name> sample-interval 0
      destination-id <destination-udp>
    !
    
    subscription <subscription-name>
      sensor-group-id <sensor-group-name> sample-interval 0
      destination-id <destination-tcp>
    
    subscription <subscription-name>
      sensor-group-id <sensor-group-name> sample-interval 0
    !
    netconf-yang agent
    ssh
    !
    
  4. Set the notification to stream data when an event occurs.

Configure Dial-in Mode

In a dial-in mode, the destination initiates a session to the router and subscribes to data to be streamed.


Note

Dial-in mode is supported over gRPC in only 64-bit platforms.

For more information about dial-in mode, see Dial-in Mode.

The process to configure a dial-in mode involves these tasks:

  • Enable gRPC

  • Create a sensor group

  • Create a subscription

  • Validate the configuration

Enable gRPC

Configure the gRPC server on the router to accept incoming connections from the collector.

  1. Enable gRPC over an HTTP/2 connection.
    
    Router# configure
    Router (config)# grpc
    
  2. Enable access to a specified port number.
    Router (config-grpc)# port <port-number>
    The <port-number> range is from 57344 to 57999. If a port number is unavailable, an error is displayed.
  3. In the configuration mode, set the session parameters.
    Router (config)# grpc{ address-family | dscp | max-request-per-user | max-request-total | max-streams | max-streams-per-user | no-tls | service-layer | tls-cipher | tls-mutual | tls-trustpoint | vrf }
    where:
    • address-family: set the address family identifier type

    • dscp: set QoS marking DSCP on transmitted gRPC

    • max-request-per-user: set the maximum concurrent requests per user

    • max-request-total: set the maximum concurrent requests in total

    • max-streams: set the maximum number of concurrent gRPC requests. The maximum subscription limit is 128 requests. The default is 32 requests

    • max-streams-per-user: set the maximum concurrent gRPC requests for each user. The maximum subscription limit is 128 requests. The default is 32 requests

    • no-tls: disable transport layer security (TLS). The TLS is enabled by default.

    • service-layer: enable the grpc service layer configuration

    • tls-cipher: enable the gRPC TLS cipher suites

    • tls-mutual: set the mutual authentication

    • tls-trustpoint: configure trustpoint

    • server-vrf: enable server vrf

  4. Commit the configuration.
    Router(config-grpc)#commit
The following example shows the output of show grpc command. The sample output displays the gRPC configuration when TLS is enabled on the router.
Router#show grpc

What to Do Next:

Create a sensor group.

Create a Sensor Group

The sensor group specifies a list of YANG models that are to be streamed.

  1. Identify the sensor path for XR YANG model.

  2. Create a sensor group.
    
    Router(config)#telemetry model-driven
    Router(config-model-driven)#sensor-group <group-name>
    Router(config-model-driven-snsr-grp)# sensor-path <XR YANG model>
    Router(config-model-driven-snsr-grp)# commit
    

Example: Sensor Group for gRPC Dial-in

The following example shows a sensor group SGroup3 created for gRPC dial-in configuration with the YANG model for interfaces:

Router(config)#telemetry model-driven   
Router(config-model-driven)#sensor-group SGroup3  
Router(config-model-driven-snsr-grp)# sensor-path openconfig-interfaces:interfaces/interface  
Router(config-model-driven-snsr-grp)# commit

What to Do Next:

Create a subscription.

Create a Subscription

The subscription associates a sensor-group with a streaming interval. The collector requests the subscription to the sensor paths when it establishes a connection with the router.


Router(config)#telemetry model-driven  
Router(config-model-driven)#subscription <subscription-name>  
Router(config-model-driven-subs)#sensor-group-id <sensor-group> sample-interval <interval>  
Router(config-model-driven-subs)#destination-id <destination-group>  
Router(config-mdt-subscription)#commit  

Example: Subscription for gRPC Dial-in

The following example shows a subscription Sub3 that is created to associate the sensor-group with an interval of 30 seconds to stream data:

Router(config)telemetry model-driven  
Router(config-model-driven)#subscription Sub3  
Router(config-model-driven-subs)#sensor-group-id SGroup3 sample-interval 30000  
Router(config-mdt-subscription)#commit  

What to Do Next:

Validate the configuration.

Validate Dial-in Configuration

Use the following command to verify that you have correctly configured the router for gRPC dial-in.


Router#show telemetry model-driven subscription
