Example of how to build a real time topology using gRPC, XR Telemetry and a very small Mongo database.
You can add devices directly from the web interface and they will be configured with the correct telemetry subscription.
Then, you will see the devices coming up in the graph
It uses the ISIS adjacency and interface IP information to build the links between devices. In order to get real time information without querying all the time to the server javascript web-sockets are used. The rest of the actions (e.g. get devices, add devices) are done with traditional get/post actions using angular JS
The database address needs to be added as an env variable called TELEMETRY_DB
From your go path:
Get the code
- go get sfloresk/tviewer
Start the database as a container
- docker run --name tviewerdb -p 27017:27017 -d mongo
Set database env variable
- export TELEMETRY_DB=localhost
Compile project
- go install github.com/sfloresk/tviewer
Run
- ./bin/tviewer
There is a docker file in the repo that you can use as example to build a container if you like
- Only ISIS support
- Only IPv4 topologies
