RFC 6022 YANG Module for NETCONF Monitoring October 2010
1. Introduction
This document defines a YANG [RFC6020] model to be used to monitor
the NETCONF protocol. It provides information about NETCONF sessions
and supported schema as defined in [RFC4741].
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].
2. Data Model to Monitor NETCONF
The NETCONF monitoring data model 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
("urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-netconf-monitoring") MUST
advertise the capability URI as described in [RFC6020].
This section presents an overview of the monitoring data model. 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 container is the root of the monitoring data model.
Scott & Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 3]
^L
RFC 6022 YANG Module for NETCONF Monitoring October 2010
netconf-state
/capabilities
/datastores
/schemas
/sessions
/statistics
capabilities
List of NETCONF capabilities supported by the server.
datastores
List of NETCONF configuration datastores (e.g., running, startup,
candidate) supported on this device and related information.
schemas
List of schemas supported on the server. Includes all the
information required to identify the schemas and to support their
retrieval.
sessions
List of all active NETCONF sessions on the device. Includes per-
session counters for all NETCONF sessions.
statistics
Includes global counters for the NETCONF server.
2.1.1. The /netconf-state/capabilities Subtree
The /netconf-state/capabilities subtree contains the capabilities
supported by the NETCONF server. The list MUST include all
capabilities exchanged during session setup still applicable at the
time of the request.
2.1.2. The /netconf-state/datastores Subtree
The /netconf-state/datastores subtree contains the list of available
datastores for the NETCONF server and includes information on their
lock state.
datastore
/name
/locks
name (leaf, netconf-datastore-type)
Enumeration of supported datastores; candidate, running, startup.
Scott & Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 4]
^L
RFC 6022 YANG Module for NETCONF Monitoring October 2010
locks (grouping, lock-info)
List of locks for the datastore. Information is provided for both
global and partial locks [RFC5717]. For partial locks, the list
of locked nodes and the select expressions originally used to
request the lock are returned.
2.1.3. The /netconf-state/schemas Subtree
The list of supported schema for the NETCONF server.
schema
/identifier (key)
/version (key)
/format (key)
/namespace
/location
The elements identifier, version, and format are used as a key in the
schema list. These are used in the <get-schema> operation.
identifier (string)
Identifier for the schema list entry. The identifier is used in
the <get-schema> operation and may be used for other means such as
file retrieval.
version (string)
Version of the schema supported. Multiple versions MAY be
supported simultaneously by a NETCONF server. Each version MUST
be reported individually in the schema list, i.e., with same
identifier, possibly different location, but different version.
For YANG data models, version is the value of the most recent YANG
'revision' statement in the module or submodule, or the empty
string if no 'revision' statement is present.
format (identifyref, schema-format)
The data modeling language the schema is written in. The data
modeling language is represented as a YANG identity. This
document defines the identities "xsd", "yang", "yin", "rng", and
"rnc" (see Section 5).
namespace (inet:uri)
The Extensible Markup Language (XML) namespace [XML-NAMES] defined
by the schema.
Scott & Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 5]
^L
RFC 6022 YANG Module for NETCONF Monitoring October 2010
location (union: enum, inet:uri)
One or more locations from which this specific schema can be
retrieved. The list SHOULD contain at least one entry per schema.
2.1.4. The /netconf-state/sessions Subtree
Includes session-specific data for NETCONF management sessions. The
session list MUST include all currently active NETCONF sessions.
session
/session-id (key)
/transport
/username
/source-host
/login-time
/in-rpcs
/in-bad-rpcs
/out-rpc-errors
/out-notifications
session-id (uint32, 1..max)
Unique identifier for the session. This value is the NETCONF
session identifier, as defined in [RFC4741].
transport (identityref, transport)
Identifies the transport for each session. The transport is
represented as a YANG identity. This document defines the
identities "netconf-ssh", "netconf-soap-over-beep", "netconf-soap-
over-https", "netconf-beep", and "netconf-tls" (see Section 5).
username (string)
The username is the client identity that was authenticated by the
NETCONF transport protocol. The algorithm used to derive the
username is NETCONF transport protocol specific and in addition
specific to the authentication mechanism used by the NETCONF
transport protocol.
source-host (inet:host)
Host identifier (IP address or name) of the NETCONF client.
login-time (yang:date-and-time)
Time at the server at which the session was established.
in-rpcs (yang:zero-based-counter32)
Number of correct <rpc> messages received.
Scott & Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 6]
^L
RFC 6022 YANG Module for NETCONF Monitoring October 2010
in-bad-rpcs (yang:zero-based-counter32)
Number of messages received when an <rpc> message was expected,
that were not correct <rpc> messages. This includes XML parse
errors and errors on the rpc layer.

message was received.
in-sessions (yang:zero-based-counter32)
Number of sessions started.
dropped-sessions (yang:zero-based-counter32)
Number of sessions that were abnormally terminated, e.g., due to
idle timeout or transport close.
in-rpcs (yang:zero-based-counter32)
Number of correct <rpc> messages received.

3. Schema Specific Operations
3.1. The <get-schema> Operation
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 the requested schema does not exist, the <error-tag> is
'invalid-value'.
If more than one schema matches the requested parameters, the
<error-tag> is 'operation-failed', and <error-app-tag> is
'data-not-unique'.
Scott & Bjorklund Standards Track [Page 8]

RFC 6022 YANG Module for NETCONF Monitoring October 2010
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.
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 optional <location> element contains a
URI, which can be used to retrieve the schema by another protocol
such as ftp [RFC0959] or http(s) [RFC2616] [RFC2818], or the special
value 'NETCONF', which means that the schema can be retrieved from
the device via the <get-schema> operation.
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 schema available for
retrieval.

6. Security Considerations
The YANG module defined in this memo is designed to be accessed via
the NETCONF protocol [RFC4741]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the
secure transport layer and the mandatory to implement secure
transport is SSH [RFC4742].
Some of the readable data nodes in this YANG module may be considered
sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus
important to control read access (e.g., via get, get-config, or
notification) to these data nodes.
These are the containers, list nodes, and data nodes with their
specific sensitivity/vulnerability:
/netconf-state/sessions/session/username: Contains identity
information that could be used in an attempt to authenticate with
the server.
This username is only meant for monitoring, and SHOULD NOT be used
for other purposes, such as access control, without a detailed
discussion of the limitations of this reported username. For
example, it is possible that server A and server B might report
the same username, but these might be for different persons.
