About Streaming Telemetry
The streaming telemetry feature of the Cisco Nexus 3000 and 9000 switches continuously streams data out of the network and notifies the client, providing near-real-time access to monitoring data.
The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.
