IOS-XE telemetry doesnt work

EdvinasKairys11982 — Tue, 21 Jun 2022 10:08:22 GMT

I'm trying to run simple monitoring with Telemetry, by looking at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erTyK0WDsT0&t=2556s

I've configured everything, but Cisco device doesn't send any packet to the receiver. The server side uses Influxdb + Telegraf. Config on Cisco looks as follows:

RTR02#  show running-config | section netconf
netconf-yang
RTR02#   show running-config | section telemetry
telemetry ietf subscription 1
 encoding encode-kvgpb
 filter xpath /process-cpu-ios-xe-oper:cpu-usage/cpu-utilization/five-seconds
 source-address 10.254.34.104
 stream yang-push
 update-policy periodic 500
 receiver ip address 10.34.35.239 57000 protocol grpc-tcp

the only thing i dont like is this error:

RTR02#show  telemetry ietf subscription 1 receiver 
Telemetry subscription receivers detail:

  Subscription ID: 1
  Address: 10.34.35.239
  Port: 57000
  Protocol: grpc-tcp
  Security profile: 
  State: Disconnected
  Explanation: Connection setup failed

The reachability to receiver node (Telegraf) works good.

TR02#telnet 10.34.35.239 57000 /source-interface loopback 100
Trying 10.34.35.239, 57000 ... Open

Also, i've tried to do packet capture on IOS-XE, seems it doesnt even send a packet towards receiver.

@EdvinasKairys11982 what does `show platform software yang-management process` show? This document will help also, https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/prog/configuration/173/b_173_programmability_cg/model_driven_telemetry.html

thanks you, i'm reading lots of manuals, bet nothing new.

first it was showing:

show platform software yang-management process
confd            : Running 
nesd             : Running 
syncfd           : Running 
ncsshd           : Running 
dmiauthd         : Running 
nginx            : Not Running 
ndbmand          : Running 
pubd             : Running

But after I enabled the ip http server, the nginx changed to running:

confd            : Running 
nesd             : Running 
syncfd           : Running 
ncsshd           : Running 
dmiauthd         : Running 
nginx            : Running 
ndbmand          : Running 
pubd             : Running

also tried to reconfigure all telemetry configuration - same situation, it still doesnt work.

any ideas ?

@EdvinasKairys11982 it sounds like a routing issue, what VRF is your source in?

There're only default table, but it's divided into two OSPF instances. I'm thinking if that could be a 'problem' for IOS-XE ?

its reachable:

TR02#telnet 10.34.35.239 57000 /source-interface loopback 100
Trying 10.34.35.239, 57000 ... Open

Hello,

Could you specify which IOS-XE version are you using?

Could you execute those commands then put the output ?

show telemetry ietf subscription 1 detail
show telemetry ietf subscription 1 receiver

hello, thanks.

the version is:

IOS-XE Version 16.9.3

Maybe my version is too old for telemetry, i heard that newer, for example 16.10 supports something like GRPC Dial out, maybe that would help. I'm planning to upgrade my device to latest version.

it shows that the connection setup failed, but i dont know the reason, debug doesnt show anything.
