gnmic (pronoun.: gee·en·em·eye·see) is a gNMI CLI client that provides full support for Capabilities, Get, Set and Subscribe RPCs with collector capabilities.

Documentation available at https://gnmic.kmrd.dev

Features

• Full support for gNMI RPCs
  Every gNMI RPC has a corresponding command with all of the RPC options configurable by means of the local and global flags.
• Flexible collector deployment
  gnmic can be deployed as a gNMI collector that supports multiple output types (NATS, Kafka, Prometheus, InfluxDB,...).
  The collector can be deployed either as a single instance, as part of a cluster, or used to form data pipelines.
• Support gRPC tunnel based dialout telemetry
  gnmic can be deployed as a gNMI collector with an embedded tunnel server.
• gNMI data manipulation
  gnmic collector has data transformation capabilities that can be used to adapt the collected data to your specific use case.
• Dynamic targets loading
  gnmic support target loading at runtime based on input from external systems.
• YANG-based path suggestions
  Your CLI magically becomes a YANG browser when gnmic is executed in prompt mode. In this mode the flags that take XPATH values will get auto-suggestions based on the provided YANG modules. In other words - voodoo magic 🤯
• Multi-target operations
  Commands can operate on multiple gNMI targets for bulk configuration/retrieval/subscription.
• Multiple configuration sources
  gnmic supports flags, environment variables as well as file based configurations.
• Inspect raw gNMI messages
  With the prototext output format you can see the actual gNMI messages being sent/received. Its like having a gNMI looking glass!
• (In)secure gRPC connection
  gNMI client supports both TLS and non-TLS transports so you can start using it in a lab environment without having to care about the PKI.
• Dial-out telemetry
  The dial-out telemetry server is provided for Nokia SR OS.
• Pre-built multi-platform binaries
  Statically linked binaries made in our release pipeline are available for major operating systems and architectures. Making installation a breeze!
• Extensive and friendly documentation
  You won't be in need to dive into the source code to understand how gnimc works, our documentation site has you covered.
