# Final Configuration Status - Ready for Deployment
|
||||
|
||||
## ✅ Configuration Complete
|
||||
|
||||
Your gnmic configuration is now **fixed and production-ready** for Arista cEOS 4.35!
|
||||
|
||||
### What Was Fixed
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Removed invalid VXLAN/routing subscription paths** that caused errors
|
||||
2. **Kept only Arista-verified OpenConfig paths**
|
||||
3. **Set debug to false** for cleaner logging
|
||||
4. **Streamlined subscriptions** for optimal performance
|
||||
|
||||
### What You Have Now

### 1. Deploy the Stack
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd monitoring
|
||||
docker-compose up -d
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Verify No Errors
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check gnmic logs - should be CLEAN
|
||||
docker logs gnmic | grep -i error
|
||||
|
||||
# Should see NO "InvalidArgument" errors!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Verify Metrics Collection
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check metrics endpoint
|
||||
curl http://localhost:9804/metrics | grep gnmic_interfaces | head -10
|
||||
|
||||
# Check Prometheus is scraping
|
||||
curl http://localhost:9090/api/v1/targets | jq '.data.activeTargets[] | select(.job=="gnmic")'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Access Grafana
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Open browser
|
||||
http://localhost:3000
|
||||
|
||||
# Login: admin/admin (or use anonymous access)
|
||||
|
||||
# Test query in Explore:
|
||||
gnmic_interfaces_interface_state_counters_out_octets{role="spine"}
|
||||
```

## 🔄 Optional Enhancements
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to add more VXLAN-specific telemetry later:
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: Native Arista Paths (Future)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Discover paths on a leaf
|
||||
ssh admin@172.16.0.25
|
||||
bash
|
||||
gnmi -get /Sysdb/bridging/vxlan/status
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then add to gnmic.yaml:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
subscriptions:
|
||||
arista_vxlan:
|
||||
paths:
|
||||
- /Sysdb/bridging/vxlan/status
|
||||
mode: stream
|
||||
stream-mode: sample
|
||||
sample-interval: 30s
|
||||
encoding: json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: EOS eAPI Exporter
|
||||
|
||||
Create custom Prometheus exporter that:
|
||||
- Runs CLI commands via eAPI
|
||||
- Parses output (show vxlan vtep, etc.)
|
||||
- Exports as Prometheus metrics
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: Additional Dashboards
|
||||
|
||||
Create specialized dashboards for:
|
||||
- BGP EVPN route details
|
||||
- VXLAN tunnel matrix
|
||||
- MLAG health details
|
||||
- Per-VNI statistics (if native paths found)
|
||||
|
||||
