Does Cacti support netconf/gNMI polling?

With new technology, a lot of new devices are disabling SNMP and start enabling TCP based polling which is more secure.

Does cacti support netconf/gNMI polling?

By my read, netconf is ssh based on port 830. So, there is no reason it can't be supported using a script query or just a script, and preferably a script server script for scalability. It uses XML on the back end. These are all real portable. Someone simply needs to contribute the scripts/package.

Great question! As of Cacti v2.0, native support for polling devices via NETCONF or the gNMI protocol has not yet been implemented.Cacti relies on SNMP for most of its device data collection. As you pointed out, with telemetry protocols like NETCONF becoming more common, lack of out-of-the-box support poses a limitation.However, Cacti does offer a flexible framework for creating custom scripts to poll devices and feed data back into the system. So it is possible to write Python or Bash scripts that could utilize NETCONF/gNMI APIs and populate Cacti graphs.There have been some discussions on the Cacti GitHub repo about officially integrating next-gen telemetry protocols. But for now, likely need custom scripts to bridge that capability gap.Let me know if you have any other questions! I imagine device support is something the Cacti community will look to expand more robustly in upcoming releases.Free legal templates are pre-formatted documents that provide a basic framework for various types of legal agreements or forms.

I'm working on a stream receiver for Cacti 1.3.x, but I've been having some difficulty allocating enough time to finish it's implementation. Since it's mostly a OpenSSL or native unencrypted inbound stream data, it's real easy to write the receiver.
