Cumulus, Arista & NXOS 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 the OpenConfig (Agent-less) feature. OpenConfig extends APIs that provide Network Telemetry information about the resources being monitored via gNMI (gRPC Network Management Interface) protocol to the ONES Application

NX-OS expose its own way of metric collection using GRPC

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
