YANG model for NETCONF Event Notifications

Abstract

This document defines the YANG model for NETCONF Event Notifications. The definition of this YANG model allows the encoding of NETCONF Event Notifications in YANG compatible encodings such as YANG-JSON and YANG-CBOR.

Requirements Language

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] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.

Status of This Memo

This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.

Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts. The list of current Internet-Drafts is at https://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/current/.

Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."

This Internet-Draft will expire on 25 July 2024.

Table of Contents

1. Introduction

This document defines a YANG [RFC7950] data model for NETCONF Event Notifications [RFC5277]. The notification structure defined in [RFC5277] uses a XML Schema [W3C.REC-xml-20001006] allowing to encode and validate the message in XML. Nevertheless, when the notification message is encoded using other encodings such as YANG-JSON [RFC7951] or YANG-CBOR [RFC9254], a YANG model to validate or encode the message is necessary. This document extends [RFC5277], defining the NETCONF Event Notification structure in a YANG module.

2. Differences to draft-ietf-netconf-notification-messages

[I-D.ietf-netconf-notification-messages] proposes a structure to send multiple notifications in a single message. Unlike [I-D.ietf-netconf-notification-messages], this document defines a YANG module to encode NETCONF Notifications with encodings other than XML, which is currently not existing. The structure for NETCONF notifications is defined in [RFC5277] using a XSD, but there is no YANG module defining the structure of the notification message sent by a server when the message is encoded in YANG-JSON [RFC7951] or YANG-CBOR [RFC9254].

3. YANG Module

3.1. YANG Tree Diagram

This YANG module adds a structure with one leaf for the datetime as defined in section 2.2.1 of [RFC5277]. The name of the leaf matches the definition of the XSD element name defined in Section 4 of [RFC5277].

module: ietf-notification

  structure notification:
    +-- eventTime    yang:date-and-time

3.2. YANG Module

The YANG module uses the same namespace from the XML Schema defined in Section 4 of [RFC5277] allowing to use this YANG module to also validate already implemented XML encoded NETCONF Event Notifications.

4. Security Considerations

The security considerations for the NETCONF Event notifications are described in [RFC5277]. This documents adds no additional security considerations.

5. IANA Considerations

This document describes the URI used for the IETF XML Registry and registers a new YANG module name.

5.1. URI

IANA is requested to add this document as a reference in the following URI in the IETF XML Registry [RFC3688].

URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:notification:1.0
Registrant Contact: The IESG.
XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.
Reference: RFC5277; RFC-to-be

5.2. YANG module name

This document registers the following YANG module in the YANG Module Names Registry [RFC6020], within the "YANG Parameters" registry:

name: ietf-notification
namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:notification:1.0
prefix: inotif
reference: RFC-to-be

5.3. YANG SID-file

IANA is requested to register a new ".sid" file in the "IETF YANG SID Registry" [I-D.ietf-core-sid]:

SID range entry point: TBD
SID range size: 50
YANG module name: ietf-notification
reference: RFC-to-be

A ".sid" file is proposed in Appendix B.

Appendix A. Examples

This non-normative section shows examples of how XML, YANG-JSON and YANG-CBOR are encoded.

A.1. XML encoded message

This is an example of a XML-encoded notification as defined in [RFC5277].

<notification xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:notification:1.0">
  <eventTime>2022-09-02T10:59:55.32Z</eventTime>
  <push-update xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-yang-push">
    <id>1011</id>
    <datastore-contents>
      <interfaces xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-interfaces">
        <interface>
          <name>eth0</name>
          <oper-status>up</oper-status>
        </interface>
      </interfaces>
    </datastore-contents>
  </push-update>
</notification>
Figure 1: XML-encoded notification

A.2. YANG-JSON encoded message

This is an example of a YANG-JSON encoded notification.

{
    "ietf-notification:notification": {
        "eventTime": "2023-02-10T08:00:11.22Z",
        "ietf-yang-push:push-update": {
            "id": 1011,
            "datastore-contents": {
                "ietf-interfaces:interfaces": [
                    {
                        "interface": {
                            "name": "eth0",
                            "oper-status": "up"
                        }
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    }
}

A.3. YANG-CBOR encoded message

This is an example of YANG-CBOR encoded notification. The figure Figure 3 shows the message using the CBOR diagnostic notation as defined in section 3.1 of [RFC9254].

{
    "ietf-notification:notification": {
        "eventTime": "2023-02-10T08:00:11.22Z",
        "ietf-yang-push:push-update": {
            "id": 1011,
            "datastore-contents": {
                "ietf-interfaces:interfaces": [
                    {
                        "interface": {
                            "name": "eth0",
                            "oper-status": "up"
                        }
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    }
}

A.4. YANG-CBOR encoded message using SIDs

This is an example of YANG-CBOR encoded notification using YANG SIDs [I-D.ietf-core-sid]. The figure Figure 4 shows the message using the CBOR diagnostic notation as defined in section 3.1 of [RFC9254].

{
    2551: {
        1: "2023-02-10T08:00:11.22Z",
        "ietf-yang-push:push-update": {
            "id": 1011,
            "datastore-contents": {
                "ietf-interfaces:interfaces": [
                    {
                        "interface": {
                            "name": "eth0",
                            "oper-status": "up"
                        }
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    }
}
