gnmic: A Go repository from WOBCOM GmbH

Documentation available at https://gnmic.kmrd.dev

Features

Full support for gNMI RPCs
Every gNMI RPC has a corresponding command with all of the RPC options configurable by means of the local and global flags.
YANG-based path suggestions
Your CLI magically becomes a YANG browser when gnmic is executed in prompt mode. In this mode the flags that take XPATH values will get auto-suggestions based on the provided YANG modules. In other words - voodoo magic 🤯
Multi-target operations
Commands can operate on multiple gNMI targets for bulk configuration/retrieval/subscription.
File based configuration
gnmic supports configurations provided in a file. The configuration options are consistent with the CLI flags.
Inspect raw gNMI messages
With the prototext output format you can see the actual gNMI messages being sent/received. Its like having a gNMI looking glass!
(In)secure gRPC connection
gNMI client supports both TLS and non-TLS transports so you can start using it in a lab environment without having to care about the PKI.
Dial-out telemetry
The dial-out telemetry server is provided for Nokia SR OS.
Pre-built multi-platform binaries
Statically linked binaries made in our release pipeline are available for major operating systems and architectures. Making installation a breeze!
Extensive and friendly documentation
You won't be in need to dive into the source code to understand how gnimc works, our documentation site has you covered.
