Infoshare: Telemetry Module for the Workflow Orchestrator

Traditional monitoring of network devices was done by SNMP, however this was resource intensive for the router and slow. In recent years the gNMI interface has evolved into a mature alternative to SNMP. This interface allows users to stream data, at a very high resolution, from routers with a relatively low performance impact on the device. This paradigm shift in collecting monitoring data from devices has the potential to unlock new use-cases in how you could operate your network. When increasing the resolution of network telemetry, operators will need a scalable platform that can handle the increased number of events generated by the devices. 

This info-share will showcase a solution to this problem that bundles a number of open-source software solutions to enable high resolution streaming from gNMI capable network devices. 

• In this info-share we will present the gNMIc-cluster helm chart
• Introduce the core concepts needed to deploy the gNMIc-cluster
• How this may integrate with the workflow-orchestrator
• Demonstrate the capabilities of the software
