I2NSF NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model
draft-ietf-i2nsf-nsf-monitoring-data-model-20
Abstract
This document proposes an information model and the corresponding
YANG data model of an interface for monitoring Network Security
Functions (NSFs) in the Interface to Network Security Functions
(I2NSF) framework. If the monitoring of NSFs is performed with the
NSF monitoring interface in a standard way, it is possible to detect
the indication of malicious activity, anomalous behavior, the
potential sign of denial-of-service attacks, or system overload in a
timely manner. This monitoring functionality is based on the
monitoring information that is generated by NSFs. Thus, this
document describes not only an information model for the NSF
monitoring interface along with a YANG tree diagram, but also the
corresponding YANG data model.

1. Introduction
According to [RFC8329], the interface provided by a Network Security
Function (NSF) (e.g., Firewall, IPS, or Anti-DDoS function) to enable
the collection of monitoring information is referred to as an I2NSF
Monitoring Interface. This interface enables the sharing of vital
data from the NSFs (e.g., events, records, and counters) to an NSF
data collector (e.g., Security Controller) through a variety of
mechanisms (e.g., queries and notifications). The monitoring of NSF
plays an important role in an overall security framework, if it is
done in a timely way. The monitoring information generated by an NSF
can be a good, early indication of anomalous behavior or malicious
activity, such as denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.
This document defines an information model of an NSF monitoring
interface that provides visibility into an NSF for the NSF data
collector (note that an NSF data collector is defined as an entity to
collect NSF monitoring data from an NSF, such as Security
Controller). It specifies the information and illustrates the
methods that enable an NSF to provide the information required in
order to be monitored in a scalable and efficient way via the NSF
Monitoring Interface. The information model for the NSF monitoring
interface presented in this document is complementary for the
security policy provisioning functionality of the NSF-Facing
Interface specified in [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-nsf-facing-interface-dm].

Internet-Draft NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model June 2022
This document also defines a YANG [RFC7950] data model for the NSF
monitoring interface, which is derived from the information model for
the NSF monitoring interface.
Note that this document covers a subset of monitoring data for
systems and NSFs, which are related to security.
2. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
This document uses the terminology described in [RFC8329]. In
addition, the following terms are defined in this document:
* I2NSF User: An entity that delivers a high-level security policy
to the Security Controller and may request monitoring information
via the NSF data collector.
* Monitoring Information: Relevant data that can be processed to
know the status and performance of the network and the NSF. The
monitoring information in an I2NSF environment consists of I2NSF
Events, I2NSF Records, and I2NSF Counters (see Section 4.1 for the
detailed definition). This information is to be delivered to the
NSF data collector.
* Notification: Unsolicited transmission of monitoring information.
* NSF Data Collector: An entity that collects NSF monitoring
information from NSFs, such as Security Controller.
* Subscription: An agreement initialized by the NSF data collector
to receive monitoring information from an NSF. The method to
subscribe follows the method by either NETCONF or RESTCONF,
explained in [RFC5277] and [RFC8650], respectively.
This document follows the guidelines of [RFC8407], uses the common
YANG types defined in [RFC6991], and adopts the Network Management
Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342]. The meaning of the symbols
in tree diagrams is defined in [RFC8340].

Internet-Draft NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model June 2022
3. Use Cases for NSF Monitoring Data
As mentioned earlier, monitoring plays a critical role in an overall
security framework. The monitoring of the NSF provides very valuable
information to an NSF data collector (e.g., Security Controller) in
maintaining the provisioned security posture. Besides this, there
are various other reasons to monitor the NSF as listed below:
* The I2NSF User that is the security administrator can configure a
policy that is triggered on a specific event occurring in the NSF
or the network [RFC8329]
[I-D.ietf-i2nsf-consumer-facing-interface-dm]. If an NSF data
collector (e.g., Security Controller) detects the specified event,
it can configure additional security functions as defined by
policies.
* The events triggered by an NSF as a result of security policy
violation can be used by Security Information and Event Management
(SIEM) to detect any suspicious activity in a larger correlation
context.
* The information (i.e., events, records, and counters) from an NSF
can be used to build advanced analytics, such as behavior and
predictive models to improve security posture in large
deployments.
* The NSF data collector can use events from the NSF for achieving
high availability. It can take corrective actions such as
restarting a failed NSF and horizontally scaling up the NSF.
* The information (i.e., events, records, and counters) from the NSF
can aid in the root cause analysis of an operational issue, so it
can improve debugging.
* The records from the NSF can be used to build historical data for
operation and business reasons.
4. Classification of NSF Monitoring Data
In order to maintain a strong security posture, it is not only
necessary to configure an NSF's security policies but also to
continuously monitor the NSF by checking acquirable and observable
data. This enables security administrators to assess the state of
the networks in a timely fashion. It is not possible to block all
the internal and external threats based on static security posture.
A more practical approach is supported by enabling dynamic security
measures, for which continuous visibility is required. This document
defines a set of monitoring elements and their scopes that can be
Jeong, et al. Expires 3 December 2022 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model June 2022
acquired from an NSF and can be used as NSF monitoring data. In
essence, this monitoring data can be leveraged to support constant
visibility on multiple levels of granularity and can be consumed by
the corresponding functions.
Three basic domains of monitoring data originating from a system
entity [RFC4949], i.e., an NSF, are discussed in this document.
* Retention and Emission from NSFs
* Notifications for Events and Records
* Push and Pull for the retrieval of monitoring data from NSFs
Every system entity creates information about some context with
defined I2NSF monitoring data, and so every system entity that
provides such information can be an I2NSF component. This
information is intended to be consumed by other I2NSF components,
which deals with NSF monitoring data in an automated fashion.
4.1. Retention and Emission from NSFs
A system entity (e.g., NSF) first retains I2NSF monitoring data
inside its own system before emitting the information to another
I2NSF component (e.g., NSF Data Collector). The I2NSF monitoring
information consist of I2NSF Events, I2NSF Records, and I2NSF
Counters as follows:
I2NSF Event: I2NSF Event is defined as an important occurrence at a
particular time, that is, a change in the system being managed or
a change in the environment of the system being managed. An I2NSF
Event requires immediate attention and should be notified as soon
as possible. When used in the context of an (imperative) I2NSF
Policy Rule, an I2NSF Event is used to determine whether the
Condition clause of that Policy Rule can be evaluated or not. The
Alarm Management Framework in [RFC3877] defines an event as
something that happens which may be of interest. Examples of an
event are a fault, a change in status, crossing a threshold, or an
external input to the system. In the I2NSF domain, I2NSF events
are created following the definition of an event in the Alarm
Management Framework.
I2NSF Record: A record is defined as an item of information that is
kept to be looked at and used in the future. Typically, records
are the information, which is based on operational and
informational data (i.e., various changes in system
characteristics). They are generated by a system entity (e.g.,
NSF) at particular instants to be kept without any changes
Jeong, et al. Expires 3 December 2022 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model June 2022
afterward. A set of records has an ordering in time based on when
they are generated. Unlike I2NSF Events, records do not require
immediate attention but may be useful for visibility and
retroactive cyber forensics. Records are typically stored in log-
files or databases on a system entity or NSF. The examples of
records include user activities, device performance, and network
status. They are important for debugging, auditing, and security
forensic of a system entity or the network having the system
entity.
I2NSF Counter: An I2NSF Counter is defined as a specific
representation of an information element whose value changes very
frequently. Prominent examples are network interface counters for
protocol data unit (PDU) amount, byte amount, drop counters, and
error counters. Counters are useful in debugging and visibility
into operational behavior of a system entity (e.g., NSF). When an
NSF data collector asks for the value of a counter, a system
entity MUST update the counter information and emit the latest
information to the NSF data collector.
Retention is defined as the storing of monitoring data in NSFs. The
retention of I2NSF monitoring information may be affected by the
importance of the data. The importance of the data could be context-
dependent, where it may not just be based on the type of data, but
may also depend on where it is deployed, e.g., a test lab and
testbed. The local policy and configuration will dictate the
policies and procedures to review, archive, or purge the collected
monitoring data.
Emission is defined as the delivery of monitoring data in NSFs to an
NSF data collector. The I2NSF monitoring information retained on a
system entity (e.g., NSF) may be delivered to a corresponding I2NSF
User via an NSF data collector. The information consists of the
aggregated records, typically in the form of log-files or databases.
For the NSF Monitoring Interface to deliver the information to the
NSF data collector, the NSF needs to accommodate standardized
delivery protocols, such as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040].
The NSF data collector can forward the information to the I2NSF User
through standardized delivery protocols (e.g., RESTCONF and NETCONF).
The interface for the delivery of Monitoring Data from the NSF data
collector to the I2NSF User is out of the scope of this document.
Jeong, et al. Expires 3 December 2022 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model June 2022
4.2. Notifications for Events and Records
A specific task of an I2NSF User is to provide I2NSF Policy Rules.
The rules of a policy are composed of three clauses: Event,
Condition, and Action clauses. In consequence, an I2NSF Event is
specified to trigger the evaluation of the Condition clause of the
I2NSF Policy Rule. Such an I2NSF Event is defined as an important
occurrence at a particular time in the system being managed, and/or
in the environment of the system being managed whose concept aligns
well with the generic definition of Event from [RFC3877].
Another role of the I2NSF Event is to trigger a notification for
monitoring the status of an NSF. A notification is defined in
[RFC3877] as an unsolicited transmission of management information.
System alarm (called alarm) is defined as a warning related to
service degradation in system hardware in Section 6.1. System event
(called alert) is defined as a warning about any changes of
configuration, any access violation, information about sessions and
traffic flows in Section 6.2. Both an alarm and an alert are I2NSF
Events that can be delivered as a notification. The model
illustrated in this document introduces a complementary type of
information that can be a conveyed notification.
In I2NSF monitoring, a notification is used to deliver either an
event or a record via the I2NSF Monitoring Interface. The difference
between the event and record is the timing by which the notifications
are emitted. An event is emitted as soon as it happens in order to
notify an NSF Data Collector of the problem that needs immediate
attention. A record is not emitted immediately to the NSF Data
Collector, and it can be emitted periodically to the NSF Data
Collector.
It is important to note that an NSF Data Collector as a consumer
(i.e., observer) of a notification assesses the importance of the
notification rather than an NSF as a producer. The producer can
include metadata in a notification that supports the observer in
assessing its importance (e.g., severity).
4.3. Push and Pull for the retrieval of monitoring data from NSFs
An important aspect of monitoring information is the freshness of the
information. From the perspective of security, it is important to
notice changes in the current status of the network. The I2NSF
Monitoring Interface provides the means of sending monitored
information from the NSFs to an NSF data collector in a timely
manner. Monitoring information can be acquired by a client (i.e.,
NSF data collector) from a server (i.e., NSF) using push [RFC5277]
[RFC8641] or pull methods [RFC6241] [RFC8040].
Jeong, et al. Expires 3 December 2022 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model June 2022
The pull is a query-based method to obtain information from the NSF.
In this method, the NSF will remain passive until the information is
requested from the NSF data collector. Once a request is accepted
(with proper authentication), the NSF MUST update the information
before sending it to the NSF data collector.
The push is a report-based method to obtain information from the NSF.
The report-based method ensures the information can be delivered
immediately without any requests. This method is used by the NSF to
actively provide information to the NSF data collector. To receive
the information, the NSF data collector subscribes to the NSF for the
information.
These acquisition methods are used for different types of monitoring
information. The information that has a high level of urgency (i.e.,
I2NSF Event) should be provided with the push method, while
information that has a lower level of urgency (i.e., I2NSF Record and
I2NSF Counter) can be provided with either the pull method or push
method.
5. Basic Information Model for Monitoring Data
As explained in the above section, there is a wealth of data
available from NSFs that can be monitored. Firstly, there must be
some general information with each monitoring message sent from an
NSF that helps a consumer to identify metadata with that message,
which are listed as below:
* message: The extra detailed description of NSF monitoring data to
give an NSF data collector the context information as metadata.
* vendor-name: The vendor's name of the NSF that generates the
message.
* device-model: The model of the device, can be represented by the
device model name or serial number. This field is used to
identify the model of the device that provides the security
service.
* software-version: The version of the software used to provide the
security service.
* nsf-name: The name or IP address of the NSF generating the
message. If the given nsf-name is not an IP address, the name can
be an arbitrary string including a FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain
Name). The name MUST be unique in the scope of management domain
for a different NSF to identify the NSF that generates the
message.
Jeong, et al. Expires 3 December 2022 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model June 2022
* timestamp: The time when the message was generated. For the
notification operations (i.e., System Alarms, System Events, NSF
Events, System Logs, and NSF Logs), this is represented by the
eventTime of NETCONF event notification [RFC5277] For other
operations (i.e., System Counter and NSF Counter), the timestamp
MUST be provided separately. The time format used is following
the rules in Section 5.6 of [RFC3339].
* language: describes the human language intended for the user, so
that it allows a user to verify the language that is used in the
notification (i.e., '../message', '/i2nsf-log/i2nsf-nsf-system-
access-log/output', and '/i2nsf-log/i2nsf-system-user-activity-
log/additional-info/cause'). The attribute is encoded following
the rules in Section 2.1 of [RFC5646]. The default language tag
is "en-US".
6. Extended Information Model for Monitoring Data
The extended information model is the specific monitoring data that
covers the additional information associated with the detailed
information of status and performance of the network and the NSF over
the basic information model. The extended information combined with
the basic information creates the monitoring information (i.e., I2NSF
Event, Record, and Counter).
The extended monitoring information has settable characteristics for
data collection as follows:
* Acquisition method: The method to obtain the message. It can be a
"query" or a "subscription". A "query" is a request-based method
to acquire the solicited information. A "subscription" is a
report-based method that pushes information to the subscriber.
* Emission type: The cause type for the message to be emitted. This
attribute is used only when the acquisition method is a
"subscription" method. The emission type can be either "on-
change" or "periodic". An "on-change" message is emitted when an
important event happens in the NSF. A "periodic" message is
emitted at a certain time interval. The time to periodically emit
the message is configurable.
* Dampening type: The type of message dampening to stop the rapid
transmission of messages. The dampening types are "on-repetition"
and "no-dampening". The "on-repetition" type limits the
transmitted "on-change" message to one message at a certain
interval (e.g., 100 centiseconds). This interval is defined as
dampening-period in [RFC8641]. The dampening-period is
configurable in the unit of centiseconds. The "no-dampening" type
Jeong, et al. Expires 3 December 2022 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model June 2022
does not limit the transmission for the messages of the same type.
In short, "on-repetition" means that the dampening is active and
"no-dampening" is inactive. Activating the dampening for an "on-
change" type of message is RECOMMENDED to reduce the number of
messages generated.
Note that the characteristic information is not mandatory to be
included in a monitoring message. The information is expected to be
stored and may or may not be useful in some ways in the future. In
any case, the inclusion of the characteristic information is up to
the implementation.
6.1. System Alarms

* dampening-type: on-repetition or no-dampening
6.1.1. Memory Alarm
The memory is the hardware to store information temporarily or for a
short period, i.e., Random Access Memory (RAM). The memory-alarm is
emitted when the memory usage exceeds the threshold. The following
information should be included in a Memory Alarm:
* event-name: memory-alarm.
* usage: specifies the amount of memory used in percentage.
* threshold: The threshold triggering the alarm in percentage.
* severity: The severity level of the message. There are four

as "The memory usage exceeded the threshold" or with extra
information.
6.1.2. CPU Alarm
CPU is the Central Processing Unit that executes basic operations of

information.
6.1.3. Disk (Storage) Alarm
Disk or storage is the hardware to store information for a long time,
i.e., Hard Disk or Solid-State Drive. The disk-alarm is emitted when
the Disk usage exceeds the threshold. The following information
should be included in a Disk Alarm:
* event-name: disk-alarm.
* usage: Specifies the ratio of the used disk space to the whole
disk space in terms of percentage.
* threshold: The threshold triggering the event in percentage.
* severity: The severity level of the message. There are four
levels, i.e., critical, high, middle, and low.
* message: Simple information as a human readable text string such
as "The disk usage exceeded the threshold" or with extra
information.
6.1.4. Hardware Alarm
The hardware-alarm is emitted when a hardware, e.g., CPU, memory,
disk, or interface, problem is detected. The following information
should be included in a Hardware Alarm:
* event-name: hardware-alarm.
* component-name: It indicates the hardware component responsible
for generating this alarm.
* severity: The severity level of the message. There are four
levels, i.e., critical, high, middle, and low.
Jeong, et al. Expires 3 December 2022 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model June 2022
* message: Simple information as a human readable text string such
as "The hardware component has failed or degraded" or with extra
information.
6.1.5. Interface Alarm
Interface is the network interface for connecting a device with the
network. The interface-alarm is emitted when the state of the
interface is changed. The following information should be included
in an Interface Alarm:
* event-name: interface-alarm.
* interface-name: The name of the interface.
* interface-state: The status of the interface, i.e., down, up (not
congested), congested (up but congested), testing, unknown,
dormant, not-present, and lower-layer-down.
* severity: The severity level of the message. There are four
levels, i.e., critical, high, middle, and low.
* message: Simple information as a human readable text string such
as "The interface is 'interface-state'" or with extra information.
6.2. System Events
System events (as alerts) have the following characteristics:
* acquisition-method: subscription
* emission-type: on-change
* dampening-type: on-repetition or no-dampening
6.2.1. Access Violation

changes is up to the implementation.
6.2.3. Session Table Event
A session is defined as a connection (i.e., traffic flow) of a data
plane (e.g., TCP, UDP, and SCTP). Session Table Event is the event
triggered by the session table of an NSF. A session table holds the
information of the currently active sessions. The following
information should be included in a Session Table Event:
* event-name: detection-session-table.
* current-session: The number of concurrent sessions.
* maximum-session: The maximum number of sessions that the session
table can support.
* threshold: The threshold (in terms of an allowed number of
sessions) triggering the event.
* message: The message as a human readable text string to give the
context of the event, such as "The number of sessions exceeded the

6.2.4. Traffic Flows
Traffic flows need to be monitored because they might be used for
security attacks to the network. The following information should be
included in this event:
* event-name: traffic-flows.
* interface-name: The mnemonic name of the network interface
* interface-type: The type of a network interface such as an ingress
or egress interface.
* src-mac: The source MAC address of the traffic flow. This
information may or may not be included depending on the type of
traffic flow. For example, the information will be useful and

Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) [IEEE-802.1AB], Address Resolution
Protocol (ARP) for IPv4 [RFC0826], and Neighbor Discovery Protocol
(ND) for IPv6 [RFC4861].

flow.
* dst-port: The transport layer destination port number of the
traffic flow.
* protocol: The protocol of the traffic flow.
* measurement-time: The duration of the measurement in seconds for
the arrival rate and arrival throughput of packets of a traffic
flow. These two metrics (i.e., arrival rate and arrival
throughput) are measured over the past measurement duration before
now.
* arrival-rate: Arrival rate of packets of the traffic flow in
packets per second measured over the past "measurement-time".
* arrival-throughput: Arrival rate of packets of the traffic flow in
bytes per second measured over the past "measurement-time".
Note that the NSF Monitoring Interface data model is focused on a
generic method to collect the monitoring information of systems and
NSFs including traffic flows related to security attacks and system
resource usages. On the other hand, IPFIX [RFC7011] is a standard
method to collect general information on traffic flows rather than
security.
6.3. NSF Events
The NSF events provide the event that is detected by a specific NSF
that supported a certain capability. This section only discusses the
monitoring data for the advanced NSFs discussed in
[I-D.ietf-i2nsf-capability-data-model]. The NSF events information
can be extended to support other types of NSF. NSF events have the
following characteristics:
* acquisition-method: subscription
Jeong, et al. Expires 3 December 2022 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model June 2022
* emission-type: on-change

reply flood, SIP flood, TLS flood, and NTP amplification flood.
This can be extended with additional types of DoS or DDoS attack.
* attack-src-ip: The IP addresses of the source of the DDoS attack.
Note that not all IP addresses should be included but only limited
IP addresses are included to conserve the server resources. The
listed attacking IP addresses can be an arbitrary sampling of the
"top talkers", i.e., the attackers that send the highest amount of
traffic.
* attack-dst-ip: The destination IPv4 or IPv6 addresses of attack
traffic. It can hold multiple IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.
* attack-src-port: The transport layer source port numbers of the
attack traffic. Note that not all ports will have been seen on
all the corresponding source IP addresses.
* attack-dst-port: The transport layer destination port numbers that
the attack traffic aims at. Note that not all ports will have
been seen on all the corresponding destination IP addresses.
* start-time: The time stamp indicating when the attack started.
The time format used is following the rules in Section 5.6 of
[RFC3339].
* end-time: The time stamp indicating when the attack ended. If the
attack is still ongoing when sending out the notification, this
field can be empty. The time format used is following the rules
in Section 5.6 of [RFC3339].
* attack-rate: The packets per second of attack traffic.
* attack-throughput: The bytes per second of attack traffic.
Jeong, et al. Expires 3 December 2022 [Page 17]

Note that rule-name is used to match a detected NSF event with a
policy rule in [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-nsf-facing-interface-dm].
6.3.2. Virus Event
This information is used when a virus is detected within a traffic
flow or inside a host. Note that "malware" is a more generic word
for malicious software, including virus and worm. In the document,
"virus" is used to represent "malware" such that they are
interchangeable. The following information should be included in a
Virus Event:
* event-name: detection-virus.
* virus-name: Name of the virus.
* virus-type: Type of the virus. e.g., trojan, worm, and macro
virus.
* The following information is used only when the virus is detected
within the traffic flow and not yet attacking the host:
- dst-ip: The destination IP address of the flow where the virus
is found.
- src-ip: The source IP address of the flow where the virus is
found.
- src-port: The source port of the flow where the virus is found.
- dst-port: The destination port of the flow where the virus is
found.
* The following information is used only when the virus is detected
within a host system:
- host: The name or IP address of the host/device that is
infected by the virus. If the given name is not an IP address,
the name can be an arbitrary string including a FQDN (Fully
Qualified Domain Name). The name MUST be unique in the scope
of management domain for identifying the device that has been
infected with a virus.
- os: The operating system of the host that has the virus.
- file-type: The type of file (indicated by the file's suffix,
e.g., .exe) virus code is found in (if applicable).

Internet-Draft NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model June 2022
- file-name: The name of the file where the virus is hidden.
* rule-name: The name of the rule being triggered.
Note "host" is used only when the virus is detected within a host
itself. Thus, the traffic flow information such as the source and
destination IP addresses is not important, so the elements of the
traffic flow (i.e., dst-ip, src-ip, src-port, and dst-port) are not
specified above. On the other hand, when the virus is detected
within a traffic flow and not yet attacking a host, the element of
"host" is not specified above.
6.3.3. Intrusion Event
The following information should be included in an Intrusion Event:
* event-name: detection-intrusion.

* protocol: The employed transport layer protocol. e.g., TCP or UDP.
Note that QUIC protocol [RFC9000] is excluded in the data model as
it is not considered in the initial I2NSF documents [RFC8329].
The QUIC traffic should not be treated as generic UDP traffic and
will be considered in the future I2NSF documents.
* app: The employed application layer protocol. e.g., HTTP or FTP.
* rule-name: The name of the I2NSF Policy Rule being triggered.
6.3.4. Web Attack Event

* response-code: The HTTP Response status code.
* cookies: The HTTP Cookie header field of the request from the user
agent. Note that though cookies have many historical infelicities
that degrade security and privacy, the Cookie and Set-Cookie
header fields are widely used on the Internet [RFC6265]. Thus,
the cookies information needs to be kept confidential and is NOT
RECOMMENDED to be included in the monitoring data unless the
information is absolutely necessary to help to enhance the
security of the network.
* req-host: The HTTP Host header field of the request.
* filtering-type: URL filtering type. e.g., deny-list, allow-list,
and unknown.
* rule-name: The name of the I2NSF Policy Rule being triggered.
6.3.5. VoIP/VoCN Event
The following information should be included in a VoIP (Voice over
Internet Protocol) and VoCN (Voice over Cellular Network, such as

operation report:
* identity: The information to identify the user. The minimum
information (extensible) that should be included:
1. user: The unique username that attempted access violation.
2. group: Group(s) to which a user belongs. A user can belong to

Note that "traffic" includes only the data plane since the monitoring
interface focuses on the monitoring of traffic flows for
applications, rather than the control plane. In the document,
"packet" includes a layer-2 frame, so "packet" and "frame" are
interchangeable. Also, note that system resources (e.g., CPU,
Jeong, et al. Expires 3 December 2022 [Page 22]
Internet-Draft NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model June 2022
memory, disk, and interface) are monitored for the sake of security
in NSFs even though they are common ones to be monitored by a generic
Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) protocol (or
module).
6.4.3. User Activity Log
User activity logs provide visibility into users' online records
(such as login time, online/lockout duration, and login IP addresses)
and the actions that users perform. User activity reports are
helpful to identify exceptions during a user's login and network
access activities. This information should be included in a user's
activity report:
* identity: The information to identify the user. The minimum
information (extensible) that should be included is as follows:

and its hit count. That is, when a packet actually matches a policy,
it should be added to the statistics of a "policy hit counter" of the
policy. The "policy hit counter" provides the "policy-name" that

8. YANG Data Model of NSF Monitoring YANG Module
This section describes a YANG module of I2NSF NSF Monitoring. The
data model provided in this document uses identities to be used to
get information of the monitored of an NSF's monitoring data. Every
identity used in the document gives information or status about the
current situation of an NSF. This YANG module imports from
[RFC6991], [RFC8343], and [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-nsf-facing-interface-dm],
and makes references to [RFC0768] [RFC0791] [RFC0792] [RFC0826]

9. I2NSF Event Stream
This section discusses the NETCONF event stream for an I2NSF NSF
Monitoring subscription. The YANG module in this document supports
"ietf-subscribed-notifications" YANG module [RFC8639] for
subscription. The reserved event stream name for this document is
"I2NSF-Monitoring". The NETCONF Server (e.g., an NSF) MUST support
"I2NSF-Monitoring" event stream for an NSF data collector (e.g.,
Security Controller). The "I2NSF-Monitoring" event stream contains
all I2NSF events described in this document.
The following XML example shows the capabilities of the event streams
generated by an NSF (e.g., "NETCONF" and "I2NSF-Monitoring" event
streams) for the subscription of an NSF data collector. Refer to
[RFC5277] for more detailed explanation of Event Streams. The XML
examples in this document follow the line breaks as per [RFC8792].

10.2. I2NSF Interface Counters
To get the I2NSF system interface counters information by query,
NETCONF Client (e.g., NSF data collector) needs to initiate GET
connection with NETCONF Server (e.g., NSF). The following XML file
can be used to get the state data and filter the information.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rpc xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0" message-id="1">
<get>
<filter

<system-interface/>
</i2nsf-counters>
</filter>
</get>
</rpc>

This document requests IANA to register the following URI in the
"IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-i2nsf-monitoring-interface
Registrant Contact: The IESG.
XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.
This document requests IANA to register the following YANG module in
the "YANG Module Names" registry [RFC7950][RFC8525]:
Jeong, et al. Expires 3 December 2022 [Page 89]
Internet-Draft NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model June 2022
name: ietf-i2nsf-monitoring-interface
namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-i2nsf-monitoring-interface
prefix: i2nsfmi
reference: RFC XXXX
// RFC Ed.: replace XXXX with an actual RFC number and remove
// this note.
12. Security Considerations
The YANG module described in this document defines a schema for data
that is designed to be accessed via network management protocols such
as NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040]. The lowest NETCONF layer
is the secure transport layer, and the required secure transport is
Secure Shell (SSH) [RFC6242]. The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS,
and the required secure transport is TLS [RFC8446].
The NETCONF access control model [RFC8341] provides a means of
restricting access by specific NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a
preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol
operations and content.
All data nodes defined in the YANG module which can be created,
modified and deleted (i.e., config true, which is the default) are
considered sensitive as they all could potentially impact security
monitoring and mitigation activities. Write operations (e.g., edit-
config) applied to these data nodes without proper protection could
result in missed alarms or incorrect alarms information being
returned to the NSF data collector. The following are threats that
need to be considered and mitigated:
Compromised NSF with valid credentials: It can send falsified
information to the NSF data collector to mislead detection or
mitigation activities; and/or to hide activity. Currently, there
is no in-framework mechanism to mitigate this and it is an issue
for all monitoring infrastructures. It is important to keep
confidential information from unauthorized persons to mitigate the
possibility of compromising the NSF with this information.
Compromised NSF data collector with valid credentials: It has
visibility to all collected security alarms; the entire detection
and mitigation infrastructure may be suspect. It is important to
keep confidential information from unauthorized persons to
mitigate the possibility of compromising the NSF with this
information.
Impersonating NSF: This involves a system trying to send false
Jeong, et al. Expires 3 December 2022 [Page 90]
Internet-Draft NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model June 2022
information while imitating an NSF; client authentication would
help the NSF data collector to identify this invalid NSF in the
"push" model (NSF-to-collector), while the "pull" model
(collector-to-NSF) should already be addressed with the
authentication.
Impersonating NSF data collector: This is a rogue NSF data collector
with which a legitimate NSF is tricked into communicating; for
"push" model (NSF-to-collector), it is important to have valid
credentials, without which it should not work; for "pull" model
(collector-to-NSF), mutual authentication should be used to
mitigate the threat.
In addition, to defend against the DDoS attack caused by a lot of
NSFs sending massive notifications to the NSF data collector, the
rate limiting or similar mechanisms should be considered in both an
NSF and NSF data collector, whether in advance or just in the process
of DDoS attack.
All of the readable data nodes in this YANG module may be considered
sensitive in some network environments. These data nodes represent
information consistent with the logging commonly performed in network
and security operations. They may reveal the specific configuration
of a network; vulnerabilities in specific systems; and the deployed
security controls and their relative efficacy in detecting or
mitigating an attack. To an attacker, this information could inform
how to (further) compromise the network, evade detection, or confirm
whether they have been observed by the network operator.
Additionally, many of the data nodes in this YANG module such as
containers "i2nsf-system-user-activity-log", "i2nsf-system-detection-
event", and "i2nsf-nsf-detection-voip-vocn" are privacy sensitive.
They may describe specific or aggregate user activity including
associating user names with specific IP addresses; or users with
specific network usage. They may also describe the specific commands
that were run by users and the resulting output. Any sensitive
information in that command input or output will be visible to the
NSF data collector and potentially other entities, and care must be
taken to protect the confidentiality of such data from unauthorized
parties.

Appendix A. Changes from draft-ietf-i2nsf-nsf-monitoring-data-model-19
The following changes are made from draft-ietf-i2nsf-nsf-monitoring-
data-model-19:
* This version updated a 'leaf language' pattern by adding extra
parentheses around "[A-Za-z]{2,3}(-[A-Za-z]{3}(-[A-Za-
z]{3}){0,2})?" and removing a range character '-' between
characters 'Y' and 'Z' in "|([0-9][A-Za-z0-9]{3})))*(-[0-9A-WY-Za-
wy-z]" as 'Y' is alphabetically adjacent to 'Z'.
