gnmic-subscribe:tldr:e7b8f

gnmic-subscribe: Subscribe to a target and specify response encoding (json_ietf).
$ gnmic -a ${ip:port} subscribe --path ${path} --encoding json_ietf
try on your machine

This command is utilizing the "gnmic" tool to subscribe to a streaming telemetry data source and retrieve data in JSON format.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "gnmic": This is the name of the command-line tool being used.
  • "-a ${ip:port}": The "-a" flag specifies the address or IP:Port of the target device or streaming telemetry server. "${ip:port}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual IP address and port number.
  • "subscribe": This is the command used to initiate a subscription to the streaming telemetry data source.
  • "--path ${path}": The "--path" flag specifies the data path or paths to subscribe to. "${path}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the desired path or paths.
  • "--encoding json_ietf": The "--encoding" flag specifies the encoding format for the retrieved data. "json_ietf" is a specific JSON encoding format defined by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force).

Overall, this command is instructing the "gnmic" tool to connect to a streaming telemetry server at the specified IP address and port, subscribe to the specified data path(s), and receive the data in JSON format using the IETF defined encoding.
