Streaming Telemetry Sources

About Streaming Telemetry

The streaming telemetry feature of Cisco Nexus switches continuously streams data out of the network and notifies the client, providing near-real-time access to monitoring data.

Guidelines and Limitations

Following are the guideline and limitations for streaming telemetry:

  • The telemetry feature is available in Cisco Nexus switches.

  • Switches with less than 8 GB of memory do not support telemetry. The Cisco Nexus 3500-XL switch has 16 GB of memory and therefore supports telemetry.

Data Available for Telemetry

For each component group, the distinguished names (DNs) in the appendix of the Nexus Model Reference can provide the listed properties as data for telemetry.
