Ondatra gNMI API

The Ondatra gNMI API provides test helpers that wrap the API calls to the ygnmi library. Ondatra uses ygnmi (and by extension ygot) to autogenerate gNMI paths and value structs from an input set of YANG modules. Please read the ygnmi README to learn more about how ygnmi translates gNMI paths to Go API calls and how it handles noncompliance errors in telemetry it receives.

Available gNMI Paths

Ondatra provide a combination of OpenConfig and Open Traffic Generator YANG modules as input to the ygnmi auto-generation.

The OpenConfig paths are documented here:

• https://openconfig.net/projects/models/paths/
• https://openconfig.net/projects/models/schemadocs/

Information on the Open Traffic Generator YANG modules is available here:

• https://github.com/open-traffic-generator/models-yang

If you are using the IxNetwork (aka "ATE") API, see the IxNetwork Telemetry section below to learn which OpenConfig paths are supported by our IxNetwork gNMI implementation.

Best Practice: Avoid time.Sleep

A test often defines a goal state based on telemetry and waits for the device to reach that state. It may be tempting to add a time.Sleep call to insert such a wait into the test, but sleeping is both flaky (the sleep may be too short) and wasteful (the sleep may be unnecessarily long). Tests can more reliably and efficiently wait for a particular telemetry state by using gnmi.Await or gnmi.Watch.

• Example 1: Wait to an interface to be up

  Use Await to wait until a single interface is up:

  gnmi.Await(t, dut, gnmi.OC().Interface(dp.Name()).OperStatus().State(), time.Minute, oc.Interface_OperStatus_UP)
  

• Example 2: Wait for at least 100 packets to be sent

  Use Watch to wait until a DUT sends at least 100 packets. Using Await wouldn't be wise here, because the counter may never register exactly 100.

  watch := gnmi.Watch(t, dut, gnmi.OC().Interface(dp.Name()).Counters().OutPkts().State(), time.Minute, func(val *ygnmi.Value[uint64]) bool {
      count, ok := val.Val()
      return ok && count > 100
  })
  if val, ok := watch.Await(t); !ok {
      t.Fatalf("DUT did not reach target state: got %v", val)
  }
  

• Example 3: Wait for several interfaces to be up

  Use a batch query with Watch to wait for several interfaces to be up in parallel. Using multiple Await calls wouldn't be as efficient, because that would cause the test to wait for each interface in serial.

  batch := gnmi.OCBatch()
  for _, port := range dut.Ports() {
      batch.AddPaths(gnmi.OC().Interface(port.Name()))
  }
  watch := gnmi.Watch(t, dut, batch.State(), time.Minute, func(val *ygnmi.Value[*oc.Root]) bool {
      root, _ := val.Val()
      for _, port := range dut.Ports() {
          if root.GetInterface(port.Name()).GetOperStatus() != oc.Interface_OperStatus_UP {
              return false
          }
      }
      return true
  })
  if val, ok := watch.Await(t); !ok {
      t.Fatalf("DUT did not reach target state: got %v", val)
  }
  

IxNetwork Telemetry

When using Ondatra's IxNetwork (aka "ATE") API, a test can gather statistics and protocol data about the IxNetwork session via gNMI. This section describes the available IxNetwork telemetry and the corresponding OpenConfig paths at which it can be queried. As the IxNetwork telemetry requires a conversion from a REST API to gNMI, you may encounter some necessary limitations in its behavior.

Statistics Views

IxNetwork statistics views are exported to gNMI paths according to the following table:

Ixia Stats	gNMI API Path
Port Stats	gnmi.OC().Interface($PortName)
Port CPU Stats	gnmi.OC().Component($PortName).Cpu()
Flow Stats	gnmi.OC().Flow($FlowName)
Ingress Flow Stats	gnmi.OC().Flow($FlowName).IngressTrackingAny()
Egress Flow Stats	gnmi.OC().Flow($FlowName).EgressTrackingAny()

Routing Data

Learned routing data is exported under an OpenConfig "network instance" with the same name as the interface over which the data was learned. Specifically, routing data is available under gNMI paths that start gnmi.OC().NetworkInstance($InterfaceName), where $InterfaceName is the argument to an ate.AddInterface($InterfaceName) call in the test.

The following routing data is available via gNMI:

• BGP IPv4 RIB

  gnmi.OC().NetworkInstance($InterfaceName).
  Protocol(oc.PolicyTypes_INSTALL_PROTOCOL_TYPE_BGP, "0").Bgp().Rib().
  AfiSafi(oc.BgpTypes_AFI_SAFI_TYPE_IPV4_UNICAST).Ipv4Unicast().
  Neighbor($DutIp).AdjRibInPre().Route($Prefix, $PathId)
  

• BGP IPv6 RIB

  gnmi.OC().NetworkInstance($InterfaceName).
  Protocol(oc.PolicyTypes_INSTALL_PROTOCOL_TYPE_BGP, "0").Bgp().Rib().
  AfiSafi(oc.BgpTypes_AFI_SAFI_TYPE_IPV6_UNICAST).Ipv6Unicast().
  Neighbor($DutIp).AdjRibInPre().Route($Prefix, $PathId)
  

• BGP Attr Sets

  gnmi.OC().NetworkInstance($InterfaceName).
  Protocol(oc.PolicyTypes_INSTALL_PROTOCOL_TYPE_BGP, "0").Bgp().Rib().
  AttrSet($Index)
  

• BGP Communities

  gnmi.OC().NetworkInstance($InterfaceName).
  Protocol(oc.PolicyTypes_INSTALL_PROTOCOL_TYPE_BGP, "0").Bgp().Rib().
  Community($Index)
  

• ISIS LSPs

  gnmi.OC().NetworkInstance($InterfaceName).
  Protocol(oc.PolicyTypes_INSTALL_PROTOCOL_TYPE_ISIS, "0").Isis().
  Level($LevelNum).Lsp($LspId)
  

• RSVP-TE Sessions

  gnmi.OC().NetworkInstance($InterfaceName).Mpls().SignalingProtocols().
  RsvpTe().SessionId($LocalIndex)

Functions

func Await

func Await[T any](t testing.TB, dev DeviceOrOpts, q ygnmi.SingletonQuery[T], timeout time.Duration, val T) *ygnmi.Value[T]

Await observes values at Query with a STREAM subscription, blocking until a value that is deep equal to the specified val is received or the timeout is reached. To wait for a generic predicate, or to make a non-blocking call, use the Watch method instead.

func BatchDelete

func BatchDelete[T any](sb *SetBatch, q ygnmi.ConfigQuery[T])

BatchDelete stores an delete operation in the SetBatch.

func BatchReplace

func BatchReplace[T any](sb *SetBatch, q ygnmi.ConfigQuery[T], val T)

BatchReplace stores an replace operation in the SetBatch.

func BatchUpdate

func BatchUpdate[T any](sb *SetBatch, q ygnmi.ConfigQuery[T], val T)

BatchUpdate stores an update operation in the SetBatch.

func Delete

func Delete[T any](t testing.TB, dev DeviceOrOpts, q ygnmi.ConfigQuery[T]) *ygnmi.Result

Delete deletes the configuration at the given query path.

func Get

func Get[T any](t testing.TB, dev DeviceOrOpts, q ygnmi.SingletonQuery[T]) T

Get fetches the value of a SingletonQuery with a ONCE subscription, failing the test fatally if no value is present at the path. Use Lookup to also get metadata or tolerate no value present.

func GetAll

func GetAll[T any](t testing.TB, dev DeviceOrOpts, q ygnmi.WildcardQuery[T]) []T

GetAll fetches the value of a WildcardQuery with a ONCE subscription skipping any non-present paths. It fails the test fatally if no value is present at the path Use LookupAll to also get metadata or tolerate no values present.

func GetConfig

func GetConfig[T any](t testing.TB, dev DeviceOrOpts, q ygnmi.ConfigQuery[T]) T

GetConfig fetches the value of a SingletonQuery with a ONCE subscription, failing the test fatally if no value is present at the path. Use Lookup to also get metadata or tolerate no value present. Note: This is a workaround for Go's type inference not working for this use case and may be removed in a subsequent release. Note: This is equivalent to calling Get with a ConfigQuery and providing a fully-qualified type parameter.

func Lookup

func Lookup[T any](t testing.TB, dev DeviceOrOpts, q ygnmi.SingletonQuery[T]) *ygnmi.Value[T]

Lookup fetches the value of a ygnmi.SingletonQuery with a ONCE subscription.

func LookupAll

func LookupAll[T any](t testing.TB, dev DeviceOrOpts, q ygnmi.WildcardQuery[T]) []*ygnmi.Value[T]

LookupAll fetches the values of a ygnmi.WildcardQuery with a ONCE subscription. It returns an empty list if no values are present at the path.

func LookupConfig

func LookupConfig[T any](t testing.TB, dev DeviceOrOpts, q ygnmi.ConfigQuery[T]) *ygnmi.Value[T]

LookupConfig fetches the value of a ygnmi.SingletonQuery with a ONCE subscription. Note: This is a workaround for Go's type inference not working for this use case and may be removed in a subsequent release. Note: This is equivalent to calling Lookup with a ConfigQuery and providing a fully-qualified type parameter.
