ONES provides the following subscriptions to manage and monitor the devices.

Supported Matrix

Cumulus & Arista platforms are considered by ONES as Agent-less and supports metrics available using NVUE and eOS APIs

Agent-based vs Agent-less

SONiC-based switches require ONES Agents (Agent-based) to be installed on the switch being monitored, as a pre-requisite for ONES Telemetry and Orchestrator based functions to work.

• ONES Telemetry Agent

• ONES Orchestrator Agent

Proprietary NOS like Arista EOS, Cumulus, and Cisco NX-OS does not require an ONES Agent and instead leverage (Agent-less) feature. OpenConfig extends APIs that provide Network Telemetry information about the resources being monitored via (gRPC Network Management Interface) protocol to the ONES Application

ONES does not support Orchestrator-based functions on Proprietary NOS (non-SONiC).

Agent requirements

• SSH access

• SONiC versions beyond 202012 or 202111 are supported

• Only x86 intel-based architectures are supported

ONES Application system - Installation Steps

• Enable super-user mode

user@ones-application:~$ sudo su

• Create a directory for ONESv1.3

user@ones-application:~$ mkdir ONES-1.3

• Extract the contents of the downloaded ONES Installer tar.gz file

root@ones-application:~$ tar -xvzf ONES-1.3.tar.gz -C ONES-1.3

• Go to ONES-1.3 folder on the server machine

root@ones-aplication:~$ cd ONES-1.3

• Run ones-installer.sh to Install the ONES application function

root@ones-application:~/ONES-1.3$ ./ones-installer.sh

1. By default, the installer has a license for 8 devices upto 30days

2. ONESv1.3 support SSL certificate integration

   1. User can choose YES if the User wants to integrate their own SSL certificate

3. The installation allows a user to enable DB backup

1. Users can choose the local or remote location to backup the database

2. By-Default application creates a database backup in every 86400 seconds(1 day), but user can modify it as per the requirement

3. Local & Remote Backup

1. ONESv1.3 support certificate-based authentication between ONES App and devices for GNMI and Auto-discovery

   For agent auto-discovery agent will act as a client and the collector as a server. For normal gnmi communication, the agent will act as a server and the collector as a client. Need certificates based on this.

NOTE: The system might have multiple IP addresses, so the user can use any one IP to access ONES-UI.

Overview

ONES requires user to install the below agents on SONiC NOS to allow Network Orchestration and Visibility

• ONES Orchestrator Agent for Network Orchestration

• ONES Telemetry Agent for Telemetry Data Streaming (Network Visibility)

NOTE: for non-SONiC switches,

• OpenConfig feature on its NOS needs to be enabled for Network Visibility (Telemetry Data Streaming)

• Network Orchestration is not supported

SONiC NOS upgrade scenario - Impact on ONES Agents

• SONiC NOS Upgrade could be done either via

  • ONES UI (Inventory-->Devices)

    • Instead of using FM - Orchestrator Agent
