Streaming Telemetry on eWLC

[comenyi1]

Hello, has anyone tried enabling telemetry on eWLCs? I have 5 9120s in my home and i am trying to get this up and running as i am starting to play with grafana, influx, and telegraf. I have been successful in getting my 9300 switch to stream to my collector but this AP for some reason does not establish a connection at all. I havent been able to find any relevant debugs to get an idea what is going on either. 

Appreciate any feedback!

 - A full list of telemetry debugging command is available below ; also go for advisory release on the eWLC if not yet done (17.9.4a)
            show telemetry ietf subscription all (DNA related)
             show telemetry ietf subscription 23 detail
             show telemetry internal subscription all stats
             show telemetry internal connection <0-4294967294> detail
             show telemetry ietf subscription configured
             show iox detail

I don't think it's possible to do that.
See https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/ewc/17-9/config-guide/ewc_cg_17_9/m_ewc_network_monitoring.html

The only network monitoring supported on the Embedded Wireless Controller (EWC) is through Cisco Digital Network Architecture (DNA) Center. This is done through NETCONF using a propietary protocol for push and pull of configuration or status information.

Note	Although you can run telemetry commands on EWC, monitoring is only supported through DNA, which is done through NETCONF.

Wow thank you for the reference. Man this is a blow. I went from a 9800cl to the EWC, looks like I need to get the CL back up and running again.
