Internet-Draft YANG Module for NETCONF Monitoring November 2009
Abstract
This document defines a NETCONF data model to be used to monitor the
NETCONF protocol. The monitoring data model includes information
about NETCONF datastores, sessions, locks and statistics. This data
facilitates the management of a NETCONF server. This document also
defines methods for NETCONF clients to discover data models supported
by a NETCONF server and defines a new NETCONF <get-schema> operation
to retrieve them.

Internet-Draft YANG Module for NETCONF Monitoring November 2009
1. Introduction
This document defines a [YANG] model to be used to monitor the
NETCONF protocol. It provides information about NETCONF sessions and
supported schema.
Considerations such as different schema formats, feature optionality
and access controls can all impact the applicability and level of
detail the NETCONF server sends to a client during session setup.
The methods defined in this document address the need for further
means to query and retrieve schema and NETCONF state information from
a NETCONF server. These are provided to complement existing base
NETCONF capabilities and operations and in no way affect existing
behaviour.
A new <get-schema> operation is also defined to support explicit
schema retrieval via NETCONF.
1.1. Definition of Terms
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].
Schema: A machine readable data model definition.

2. Data Model to Monitor NETCONF
The NETCONF monitoring data defined in this document provides
operational information on the NETCONF server. This includes details
specific to the NETCONF protocol (e.g. protocol specific counters
such as 'in-sessions') as well as data related to schema retrieval
(e.g. schema list). A server that implements the data model defined
in this document MUST advertise the capability URI
"urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-netconf-monitoring". An overview
of the specific monitoring data defined in this document which MUST
be present follows. For detailed descriptions refer to the normative
YANG module provided in this document (see section 5)..
2.1. The /netconf-state Subtree
The /netconf-state subtree is the root of the monitoring
data model. It acts as the container for the other monitored data.

Description:
This operation is used to retrieve a schema from the NETCONF server.
Parameters:
identifier (string):
Identifier for the schema list entry.
Mandatory parameter.
version (string):
Version of the schema requested.
Optional parameter.
format (identityref, schema-format):
The data modeling language of the schema.
Default value is 'yang' when not specified.
Optional parameter.
Positive Response:
The NETCONF server returns the requested schema.
Negative Response:
If requested schema does not exist, the <error-tag> is
'invalid-value'.
If requested schema is not unique, the <error-tag> is
'operation-failed', and <error-app-tag> is 'data-not-unique'.

4. Examples
4.1. Retrieving Schema List via <get> Operation
A NETCONF client retrieves the list of supported schema from
a NETCONF server by retrieving the /netconf-state/schemas
subtree via a <get> operation.
Available schema for the requesting session are returned in the
reply containing the <identifier>,<version>, <format>,
and <location> elements.
Since the same schema may be available in multiple locations
and/or have multiple versions and/or multiple formats no
particular attribute is unique.
The response data can be used to determine the available schema
and their versions. The schema itself (i.e. schema content) is
not returned in the response. The URL details returned in the
list SHOULD facilitate retrieval from a network location via a
means such as ftp or http.
Additionally the ability to retrieve a schema via NETCONF SHOULD be
supported. When a schema is available on the device and the
<get-schema> operation is supported by the NETCONF server a
location value of 'NETCONF' MUST be used to indicate that it can be
retrieved via NETCONF using the <get-schema> operation described
in section 3.1.
Example:
<rpc message-id="101" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
<get>
<filter type="subtree">
<netconf-state xmlns=
"urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-netconf-monitoring">
<schemas/>
</netconf-state>
</filter>
</get>
</rpc>
The NETCONF server returns a list of data models available for
retrieval.

6. Security Considerations
The NETCONF monitoring schema as defined in this document provides
information about a NETCONF system that could be used to aid an
attack on that system. The same considerations as for the base
[RFC4741] are valid. It is assumed that access to the data and
operations defined in this document are subject to appropriate access
control on the device.

9. Appendix A - Change Log
[-- Editor note to IANA/RFC-Editor: Please remove this section upon
publication.]
9.1. draft-ietf-netconf-monitoring-10
- sec 1.1, updated schema definition, removed YANG definition (it is
in references instead)
- reworded text in Intro about NETCONF clients adjusting 'capabilities',
per agreement that capacbilities can not change in a session (per
4741bis)
- introduction, removed description of NETCONF behaviour for schema
changes on active sesssions. Has been moved to 4741bis
- updated namespace from '*:ns:netconf::state' to
'*:yang:ns:ietf-netconf-monitoring:DRAFT-10'
For details see ML archive:
'http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/netconf/current/msg05296.html'
- moved majority of sec 2 into the yang module (making module self
describing), leaving only overview text in the RFC body.
For details see ML archive:
'http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/netconf/current/msg05209.html'
- reworded definition of 'schema'
- removed residual references to XSD types (i.e. xs:string)
- reworded text that schema may not always be retrievable
- will add additional text that yang format is both the default
and mandatory; yin is optional
- updated text per Juergen's WGLC comments on v09.
For details see ML arhive:
'http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/netconf/current/msg05306.html'
- updated reference in sec 1.1 for RFC2119
- title change to 'YANG Module for NETCONF Monitoring'
9.2. draft-ietf-netconf-monitoring-09
Scott & Bjorklund Expires June 3, 2010 [Page 30]
Internet-Draft YANG Module for NETCONF Monitoring November 2009
- reversion of 'session-type' to 'transport'
- element naming consistency. All lowerCamelCase names have been
converted to 'hyphen-delimited' or 'netconf-style-naming' as it is
sometimes referred to on the ML. E.g. 'sessionType' ->
'session-type'. This change impacts both the draft text and yang
module.
- <get-schema> operation updated:
- now has only one mandatory parameter, 'identifier'
- updated negative responses, including the rpc operation
description in yang module
- comments added to the yang module indicating that the definition of
'session-id' is consistent with 4741bis 'session-id-type' and could
be imported from that pending RFC. Similar for
'netconf-datastore-type'. This was in favour of adding further
dependencies and delays by waiting for 4741bis to complete.
9.3. draft-ietf-netconf-monitoring-08
- Addresses action items from IETF75 and mailing list comments
- Most significant is the decision to adopt YANG as normative
As a result the publication of this draft depends on:
o WGLC updates (if required)
o updates to the normative model as result of netmod YANG
changes (if required)
o data organization changes if WG adopts a new data
hierarchy for netmod (this draft uses "/netconf-state/")
- XML Schema of model and IP host definition have been removed
9.4. draft-ietf-netconf-monitoring-07
- updates the examples in sec 4.2 per ML discussion
9.5. draft-ietf-netconf-monitoring-06
Scott & Bjorklund Expires June 3, 2010 [Page 31]
Internet-Draft YANG Module for NETCONF Monitoring November 2009
- replaced references to 'schema-retrieval capability' with
'<get-schema> operation'
- upper/lowercase alignment on references to 'format'
- changed negative response for <get-schema> to 'data-missing'
- ML comments on v05 which required changes in the draft:
o 2.1.2: reworded to avoid suggestion that configurable data was
contained in the sub-tree (per Balazs' request)
o 2.1.2: reworded paragraph partial lock and select statements
(per Balazs' suggested text)
o Fixed examples in 3.1 and added negative response (per Balazs'
comment)
o YANG: location changed to leaf-list (per Balazs' comment)
o added non-normative references to yang and yang-types (per Balazs'
comment)
o 2.1.3: added YIN and RNC to format 'enums' text and models
9.6. draft-ietf-netconf-monitoring-05
This version addresses action items from IETF74 and comments on v4.
- updated statistics (and counter definitions) per offline discussion:
- updated counter definitions
- updated data types (addition of ZeroBasedCounter32)
- per session counters; see section 2.1.4
- global counters; see section 2.1.5
- unique sessionId handling and WG consensus:
o expected handling of NETCONF and non-NETCONF sessions defined
o explicit exclusion of sessionId=0 added
o see section 2.1.4
- removal of subscriptions subtree; was sec 2.1.5 in v4
- revised XSD and YANG models
9.7. draft-ietf-netconf-monitoring-04
- New RPC operation defined <get-schema<, replacing
<list-schema>.
- Updated Abstract and Introduction: new text, removed NETCONF
protocol diagram.
- Changed /netconfstate/ to /netconf-state
- Added netconf-state/datastores
- Changed /netconf-state/schema to /netconf-state/schemas
- Added /netconf-state/statistics
- Added /schema/format (and added to key)
- Added /schema/namespace (and added to key)
Scott & Bjorklund Expires June 3, 2010 [Page 32]
Internet-Draft YANG Module for NETCONF Monitoring November 2009
- Updated examples.
- More detailed monitored data descriptions per ML comments.
9.8. draft-ietf-netconf-monitoring-03
- incorporates ML list comments on v-02.
9.9. draft-ietf-netconf-monitoring-02
- Merged content from 'draft-scott-netconf-schema-query' into this draft
- this draft now covers both schema retrievel and monitoring
9.10. draft-ietf-netconf-monitoring-01
- WG first draft, 'draft-ietf-netconf-monitoring-01'.
- Related draft 'draft-scott-netconf-schema-query-00' also presented
covering schema retrieval. Query draft proposes new NETCONF
operations to retrieve schema defined in this draft.
9.11. draft-scott-netconf-monitoring-00
- Initial draft, 'draft-scott-monitoring-00'
- based on 'draft-netconf-chisholm-monitoring-02'
- adopted as working group document at IETF69.
