Streaming Telemetry Sources

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.

Guidelines and Limitations

Following are the guideline and limitations for streaming telemetry:

  • The telemetry feature is available in Cisco Nexus 3000 and 9000 switches.

  • Switches with less than 8 GB of memory do not support telemetry.

  • Software streaming telemetry does not support the TCP protocol. The tcp option is displayed in the Help text, but is not accepted during configuration.

Data Available for Telemetry

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