Pygnmi

Overview

The following example uses the pygnmi python module to talk to gNMI devices.

# Modules
from pygnmi.client import gNMIclient
import json

# Variables
host = ('198.51.100.67', '6030')

# Body
if __name__ == '__main__':
    with gNMIclient(target=host, username='ansible', password='ansible', insecure=True) as gc:
         result = gc.get(path=['openconfig:interfaces'])
    print(json.dumps(result, indent=4))

Assuming that the pygnmi module has been installed, this can be executed via the following command.

python3 gnmi_example.py

The following will simply run the gnmi_example.py file using python3 to get the openconfig interfaces.

gNMI Capabilities RPC

The file capabilities.py uses the pygnmi python module to get the gNMI capabilities.
