Internet-Draft NETCONF Event Notifications October 2006
1. Introduction
[NETCONF] can be conceptually partitioned into four layers:
Layer Example
+-------------+ +----------------------------------------+
| Content | | Configuration data |
+-------------+ +----------------------------------------+
| |
+-------------+ +-------------------------------------------+
| Operations | | <get-config>, <edit-config> <notification>|
+-------------+ +-------------------------------------------+
| | |
+-------------+ +-----------------------------+ |
| RPC | | <rpc>, <rpc-reply> | |
+-------------+ +-----------------------------+ |
| | |
+-------------+ +------------------------------------------+
| Transport | | BEEP, SSH, SSL, console |
| Protocol | | |
+-------------+ +------------------------------------------+
This document defines mechanisms which provide an asynchronous
message notification delivery service for the [NETCONF] protocol.
This is an optional capability built on top of the base NETCONF
definition. This memo defines the capabilities, operations,
transport mappings, and data models necessary to support this
service.
Figure 1
1.1. Definition of Terms
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
Element: An [XML] Element.
Managed Object: A collection of one of more Elements that define an
abstract thing of interest.
Subscription: A concept related to the delivery of notifications (if
any to send) involving destination and selection of notifications.
It is bound to the lifetime of a session.
Chisholm & Trevino Expires April 25, 2007 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft NETCONF Event Notifications October 2006
Operation: This term is used to refer to NETCONF protocol
operations. Specifically within this document, operation refers
to NETCONF protocol operations defined in support of NETCONF
notifications.
1.2. Event Notifications in NETCONF
An event is something that happens which may be of interest - a
configuration change, a fault, a change in status, crossing a
threshold, or an external input to the system, for example. Often
this results in an asynchronous message, sometimes referred to as a
notification or event notification, being sent out to interested
parties to notify them that this event has occurred.
This memo defines a mechanism whereby the NETCONF client indicates
interest in receiving event notifications from a NETCONF server by
creating a subscription to receive event notifications. The NETCONF
server replies to indicate whether the subscription request was
successful and, if it was successful, begins sending the event
notifications to the NETCONF client as the events occur within the
system. These event notifications will continue to be sent until
either the NETCONF session is terminated or some event, outside the
scope of this specification, causes the subscription to terminate.
The event notification subscription allows a number of options to
enable the NETCONF client to specify which events are of interest.
These are specified when the subscription is created.
An NETCONF server is not required to process RPC requests on the
session associated with the subscription until the notification
stream is done. A capability may be advertised to announce that a
server is able to process RPCs while a notification stream is active
on a session.
1.3. Motivation
The motivation for this work is to enable the sending of asynchronous
messages that are consistent with the data model (content) and
security model used within a Netconf implementation.
1.4. Requirements
The following requirements have been addressed by the solution:
o Initial release should ensure it supports notification in support
of configuration operations
o Data content must not preclude the use of the same data model as
used in configuration
Chisholm & Trevino Expires April 25, 2007 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft NETCONF Event Notifications October 2006
o solution should support a reasonable message size limit (syslog
and SNMP are rather constrained in terms of message sizes)
o solution should provide reliable delivery of notifications
o solution should provide a subscription mechanism (A NETCONF server
does not send notifications before asked to do so and the NETCONF
client initiates the flow of notifications)
o solution should provide a filtering mechanism within the Netconf
server
o solution should send sufficient information in a notification so
that it can be analyzed independent of the transport mechanism
(data content fully describes a notification; protocol information
is not needed to understand a notification)
o solution should support replay of locally logged notifications
Chisholm & Trevino Expires April 25, 2007 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft NETCONF Event Notifications October 2006
2. Notification-Related Operations
2.1. Subscribing to receive Event Notifications
The event notification subscription is initiated by the NETCONF
client and responded to by the NETCONF server. When the event
notification subscription is created, the events of interest are
specified.
Content for an event notification subscription can be selected by
applying user-specified filters.
2.1.1. <create-subscription>
Description:
This operation initiates an event notification subscription which
will send asynchronous event notifications to the initiator of the
command until the NETCONF session terminates or some event,
outside the scope of this specification, causes the subscription
to terminate.
Parameters:
Streams:
An optional parameter that indicates which stream(s) of events
are of interest. If not present, then events in the default
NETCONF stream will be sent.
Filter:
An optional parameter that indicates which subset of all
possible events are of interest. The format of this parameter
is the same as that of the filter parameter in the NETCONF
protocol operations. If not present, all events not precluded
by other parameters will be sent.
Named Profile:
An optional parameter that points to a separately defined
filter profile. The contents of the profile are specified in
the provided [XML Schema]. If not present, no additional
filtering will be applied. Note that changes to the profile
after the subscription has been created will have no effect.
Chisholm & Trevino Expires April 25, 2007 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft NETCONF Event Notifications October 2006
Start Time:
A parameter used with the optional replay capability to signals
that this is a replay subscription and that the replay should
start at the time specified. If start time is not present,
this is not a replay subscription. Stop time for replay is
implicitly defined to be the time the create-subscription
command was received by the Netconf server.
Positive Response:
If the NETCONF server can satisfy the request, the server sends an
<ok> element.
Negative Response:
An <rpc-error> element is included within the <rpc-reply> if the
request cannot be completed for any reason. Subscription requests
will fail if a filter with invalid syntax is provided or if the
name of a non-existent profile or stream is provided.
2.1.2. Filter Dependencies
When multiple filters are specified (in-line Filter, Named Profiles),
they are applied collectively (i.e. logical AND operation). That is,
event notifications must pass all specified filters in order to be
sent to the subscriber.
2.2. Sending Event Notifications
Once the subscription has been set up, the NETCONF server sends the
event notifications asynchronously along the connection.
2.2.1. <notification>
Description:
An event notification is sent to the initiator of a <create-
subscription> command asynchronously when an event of interest
(i.e. meeting the specified filtering criteria) to them has
occurred. An event notification is a complete XML document. Note
that <notification> is not an RPC method but rather the top level
element identifying the one way message as a notification.
Parameters:
Chisholm & Trevino Expires April 25, 2007 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft NETCONF Event Notifications October 2006
Data:
Contains notification-specific tagged content.
Response:
No response. Not applicable.
2.3. Terminating the Subscription
Closing of the event notification subscription is done by terminating
the Netconf session ( <kill-session> )or via some action outside the
scope of this specification.
Chisholm & Trevino Expires April 25, 2007 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft NETCONF Event Notifications October 2006
3. Supporting Concepts
3.1. Capabilities Exchange
The ability to process and send event notifications is advertised
during the capability exchange between the NETCONF client and server.
"urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:capability:notification:1.0"
For Example
<hello xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
<capabilities>
<capability>
urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0
</capability>
<capability>
urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:capability:startup:1.0
</capability>
<capability>
urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:capability:notification:1.0
</capability>
</capabilities>
<session-id>4</session-id>
</hello>
3.2. Event Streams
An event stream is defined herein as a set of event notifications
matching some forwarding criteria.
System components generate event notifications which are passed to a
central component for classification and distribution. The central
component inspects each event notification and matches the event
notification against the set of stream definitions. When a match
occurs, the event notification is considered to be a member of that
event stream. An event notification may be part of multiple event
streams.
When a NETCONF client subscribes to a given event stream, user-
defined filters, if applicable, are applied to the event stream and
matching event notifications are forwarded to the NETCONF server for
distribution to subscribed NETCONF clients.

3.2.1. Event Stream Definition
Event streams are predefined on the managed device. The
configuration of event streams is outside the scope of this document.
However, it is envisioned that event streams are either pre-
established by the vendor (pre-configured) or user configurable (e.g.
part of the device's configuration) or both. Device vendors may
allow event stream configuration via NETCONF protocol (i.e. edit-
config operation)
3.2.2. Event Stream Content Format
The contents of all event streams made available to a NETCONF client
(i.e. the notification sent by the NETCONF server) must be encoded in
XML.
3.2.3. Default Event Stream
A NETCONF server implementation supporting the notification
capability must support the "NETCONF" notification event stream.
This stream contains all NETCONF XML event notifications supported by
the NETCONF server. The definition of the event notification and
their contents for this event stream is outside the scope of this
document.
Chisholm & Trevino Expires April 25, 2007 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft NETCONF Event Notifications October 2006
3.2.4. Event Stream Sources
With the exception of the default event stream (NETCONF
notifications) specification of additional event stream sources (e.g.
SNMP, syslog, etc.) is outside the scope of this document. NETCONF
server implementations may leverage any desired event stream source
in the creation of supported event streams.
3.2.5. Event Stream Discovery
A NETCONF client retrieves the list of supported event streams from a
NETCONF server using the <get> RPC request.
3.2.5.1. Name Retrieval using <get> operation
The list of available event streams is retrieved by requesting the
<eventStreams> subtree via a <get>operation. Available event streams
for the requesting session are returned in the reply containing
<name> and <description> elements, where <name> element is mandatory
and its value is unique [Editor's Note: should we then define it as a
key?]. The returned list must only include the names of those event
streams for which the NETCONF sessions has sufficient privileges.
The NETCONF session privileges are determined via access control
mechanisms which are beyond the scope of this document. An empty
reply is returned if there are no available event streams.

3.2.5.2. Device Supported Event Streams (System)

over a NETCONF session with sufficient privileges (e.g.
administrator). The information is retrieved by requesting the
<eventStreams> subtree via a <get> operation.

3.2.6. Event Stream Subscription
A NETCONF client may request from the NETCONF server the list of
available event streams to this session and then issue a <create-
subscription> request with the desired event stream name. Omitting
the event stream name from the <create-subscription> request results
in subscription to the default NETCONF event stream.
3.2.6.1. Filtering Event Stream Contents
The set of event notifications delivered in an event stream may be
further refined by applying a user-specified filter at subscription
creation time ( <create-subscription> ). This is a transient filter
associated with the event notification subscription and does not
modify the event stream configuration.
3.2.6.2. Subscription to Multiple Event Streams
Multiple event streams may be configured on a device and a NETCONF
client may subscribe to one or more of the available event streams.
3.3. Subscriptions not Configuration Data
While it is possible to retrieve information about subscriptions via
a get operation, subscriptions are not stored configuration. They
are non-persistent state information. In this respect, they are
comparable to NETCONF sessions.
Named profiles, if used, are considered configuration data.

3.5. Filter Dependencies
Note that when multiple filters are specified (in-line Filter, Named
Profiles), they are applied collectively, so event notifications need
to pass all specified filters in order to be sent to the subscriber.
If a filter is specified to look for data of a particular value, and
the data item is not present within a particular event notification
for its value to be checked against, it will be filtered out. For
example, if one were to check for 'severity=critical' in a
Chisholm & Trevino Expires April 25, 2007 [Page 20]
Internet-Draft NETCONF Event Notifications October 2006
configuration event notification where this field was not supported,
then the notification would be filtered out.
Note that the order that filters are applied does not matter since
the resulting set of notifications is the intersection of the set of
notifications that pass each filtering criteria.
3.5.1. Named Profiles
A named profile is a filter that is created ahead of time and applied
at the time an event notification subscription is created . Note
that changes to the profile after the subscription has been created
will have no effect on the subscription. Since named profiles exist
outside of the subscription, they persist after the subscription has
been torn down.
3.5.2. Filtering
Just-in-time filtering is explicitly stated when the event
notification subscription is created. This is specified via the
Filter parameter. Filters only exist as parameters to the
subscription.
3.6. Message Flow

5. Mapping to Transport Protocols
Currently, the NETCONF family of specification allows for running
NETCONF over a number of transport protocols, some of which support
multiple configurations. Some of these options will be better suited
for supporting event notifications then others.
5.1. SSH
Session establishment and two-way messages are based on the NETCONF
over SSH transport mapping [NETCONF SSH]
One-way event messages are supported as follows: Once the session has
been established and capabilities have been exchanged, the server may
send complete XML documents to the NETCONF client containing
notification elements. No response is expected from the NETCONF
client.
As the examples in [NETCONF SSH] illustrate, a special character
sequence, MUST be sent by both the client and the server after each
XML document in the NETCONF exchange. This character sequence cannot
legally appear in an XML document, so it can be unambiguously used to
identify the end of the current document in the event notification of
an XML syntax or parsing error, allowing resynchronization of the
NETCONF exchange.
The NETCONF over SSH session to receive an event notification might
look like the following. In the example below the event notification
contents (delimited by <data> </data> tags) are not defined in this
document and are provided herein simply for illustration purposes.
The sample notification shows a configuration change on the running
configuration as a result of an <edit-config> operation. It has one
containment node ( <interfaces> ), with one element <interface> and
two changed attributes (<name> and <mtu>) (Note that this does not
refer to XML attributes). The same example is used in the BEEP and
SOAP transport mapping sections.

5.2. BEEP
Session establishment and two-way messages are based on the NETCONF
over BEEP transport mapping [NETCONF BEEP]
5.2.1. One-way Notification Messages in Beep
One-way notification messages can be supported either by mapping to
the existing one-to-many BEEP construct or by creating a new one-to-
none construct.
This area is for future study.
Chisholm & Trevino Expires April 25, 2007 [Page 26]
Internet-Draft NETCONF Event Notifications October 2006
5.2.1.1. One-way messages via the One-to-many Construct
Messages in one-to-many exchanges: "rpc", "notification", "rpc-reply"
Messages in positive replies: "rpc-reply"
5.2.1.2. One-way notification messages via the One-to-none Construct
Note that this construct would need to be added to an extension or
update to 'The Blocks Extensible Exchange Protocol Core' [RFC3080].
MSG/NoANS: the client sends a "MSG" message, the server, sends no
reply.
In one-to-none exchanges, no reply to the "MSG" message is expected.
5.3. SOAP
Session management and message exchange are based on the NETCONF over
SOAP transport mapping [NETCONF SOAP]
Note that the use of "persistent connections" "chunked transfer-
coding" when using HTTP becomes even more important in the supporting
of event notifications
5.3.1. A NETCONF over Soap over HTTP Example

6. Filtering examples
The following section provides examples to illustrate the various
methods of filtering content on an event notification subscription.
6.1. Subtree Filtering
XML subtree filtering is not well suited for creating elaborate
filter definitions given that it only supports equality comparisons
and logical OR operations (e.g. in an event subtree give me all event
notifications which have severity=critical or severity=major or
severity=minor). Nevertheless, it may be used for defining simple
event notification forwarding filters as shown below.
In order to illustrate the use of filter expressions it is necessary
to assume some of the event notification content (only for example
purposes). The examples herein assume that the event notification
schema definition has an <eventClasses> element identifying the event
category (e.g. fault, state, config, etc.) and events have a
<severity> element
The following example illustrates selecting events which have
severities of critical, major, or minor (presumably fault events).
The filtering criteria evaluation is as follows:
((severity=critical) | (severity=major) | (severity=minor))
<rpc message-id="101"
xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:notification:1.0">
<create-subscription
xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:notification:1.0">
<filter type="subtree">
<event xmlns="http://example.com/event/1.0">
<severity>critical</severity>
</event>
<event xmlns="http://example.com/event/1.0">
<severity>major</severity>
</event>
<event xmlns="http://example.com/event/1.0">
<severity>minor</severity>
</event>
</netconf:filter>
</create-subscription>
</rpc>
Chisholm & Trevino Expires April 25, 2007 [Page 30]
Internet-Draft NETCONF Event Notifications October 2006
The following example illustrates selecting fault, state, config
EventClasses or events which are related to card Ethernet0. The
filtering criteria evaluation is as follows:
(fault | state | config | card=Ethernet0)
<rpc message-id="101"
xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:notification:1.0">
<create-subscription>
<netconf:filter type="subtree">
<top
xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:notification:1.0">
<event>
<eventClasses>fault</eventClasses>
</event>
<event>
<eventClasses>state</eventClasses>
</event>
<event>
<eventClasses>config</eventClasses>
</event>
<event>
<card>Ethernet0</card>
</event>
</top>
</netconf:filter>
</create-subscription>
</rpc>
6.2. XPATH filters
The following example illustrates selecting fault EventClass
notifications that have severities of critical, major, or minor. The
filtering criteria evaluation is as follows:
((fault) & ((severity=critical) | (severity=major) | (severity =
minor)))
Chisholm & Trevino Expires April 25, 2007 [Page 31]
Internet-Draft NETCONF Event Notifications October 2006
<rpc message-id="101"
xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:notification:1.0">

<netconf:filter type="xpath">
(/event[eventClasses/fault] and
(/event[severity="critical"] or
/event[severity="major"] or /event[severity="minor"]))
</netconf:filter>
</create-subscription>
</rpc>
The following example illustrates selecting fault, state and config
EventClasses which have severities of critical, major, or minor and
come from card Ethernet0. The filtering criteria evaluation is as
follows:
((fault | state | config) & ((fault & severity=critical) | (fault &
severity=major) | (fault & severity = minor) | (card=Ethernet0)))

7. Notification Replay Capability
7.1. Overview
Replay is the ability to create an event subscription that will
resend recently sent notifications. These notifications are sent the
same way as normal notifications.
A replay of notifications is specified by including an optional
parameter to the subscription command that indicates the start time
of the replay. The end time of the replay is implicitly defined to
be the time the replay request was initiated.
An implementation that supports replay is not expected to have an
unlimited supply of saved notifications available to accommodate any
replay request. If a client requests a replay of notifications that
predate the oldest notification available, then the NETCONF server
must return a warning message in the RPC reply and start replaying
the notifications it does have available, within the other
constraints, such as filtering, that the client has provided. The
warning message enables the NETCONF client to differentiate between
the case that there were no notifications generated within a given
time period from the case that no notifications are currently in the
log from that period.
The actual number of stored notifications available for retrieval at
any given time is an NETCONF server implementation specific matter.
Control parameters for this aspect of the feature are outside the
scope of the current work.
A given subscription is either a replay subscription or a normal
subscription, which sends event notifications as they happen. A
replay subscription terminates once the it has completed replaying
past events.
7.2. Dependencies
This capability is dependent on the notification capability being
supported. It also requires that the device supporting the Netconf
server also support some form of notification logging, although it
puts no restrictions on the size or form of the log, nor where it
resides within the device.
7.3. Capability Identifier
The Event Notification Replay capability is identified by following
capability string:
Chisholm & Trevino Expires April 25, 2007 [Page 33]
Internet-Draft NETCONF Event Notifications October 2006
http://ietf.org/netconf/notificationReplay/1.0
7.4. New Operations
None
7.5. Modifications to Existing Operations
7.5.1. create-subscription
This capability adds an optional parameter to the <create-
subscription> command called 'startTime'. This identifies the
earliest date and time of interest for event notifications being
replayed. Events generated before this time are not matched.
Note that while a notification has three potential times associated
it - the time it was generated, the time it was logged and the time
it was sent out by the NETCONF server - the startTime parameter is
related to generation time.
Negative Response:
An <rpc-error> element is included in the <rpc-reply> if the
startTime in replay request predates the oldest notification
available to be replayed.
Error-tag: start-time-value
Error-type: protocol
Error-severity: warning
Error-info: none
Error-message: Start time predates oldest available
notification to be replayed
7.5.2. Interactions with Other Capabilities
[Edtitor's Note: If this capability does not interact with other
capabilities, this section may be omitted.]
7.6. Replay Complete Notification
The following notification is the last notification sent over a
replay subscription. It indicates that replay is complete.

8. Security Considerations
The access control framework and the choice of transport will have a
major impact on the security of the solution.
Note that the <notification> elements are never sent before the
transport layer and the netconf layer (capabilities exchange) have
been established, and the manager has been identified and
authenticated.
It is recommended that care be taken to ensure the secure operation
of the following commands:
o <create-subscription> invocation
o use of <kill-session>
o read-only data models
o read-write data models
o notification content
One issue related to the notifications draft is the transport of data
from non-netconf streams, such as syslog and SNMP. Note that this
data may be more vulnerable (or is not more vulnerable) when being
transported over netconf than when being transported using the
protocol normally used for transporting it, depending on the security
credentials of the two subsystems.
