YANG Modules for Service Assurance

Abstract

This document specifies YANG modules for representing assurance graphs. These graphs represent the assurance of a given service by decomposing it into atomic assurance elements called subservices. A companion document, Service Assurance for Intent-based Networking Architecture, presents an architecture for implementing the assurance of such services.

The YANG data models in this document conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in RFC 8342.

Table of Contents

1. Introduction

[I-D.ietf-opsawg-service-assurance-architecture] specifies an architecture and a set of involved components for service assurance. This document complements the architecture by specifying a data model for the interfaces between components. More specifically, the document provides YANG modules for the purpose of service assurance in a format that is:

1.1. Terminology

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 13 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.

The terms used in this document are defined in [I-D.ietf-opsawg-service-assurance-architecture].

The meanings of the symbols in the tree diagrams are defined in [RFC8340].

2. YANG Modules Overview

The main YANG module, "ietf-service-assurance" (Section 3), defines objects for assuring network services based on their decomposition into so-called subservices. The subservices are hierarchically organised by dependencies. The subservices, along with the dependencies, constitute an assurance graph. This module should be supported by an agent, able to interact with the devices in order to produce a health status and symptoms for each subservice in an assurance graph. This module is intended for the following use cases:

The modules presented in this document conform to the Network Management Datastore Architecture defined in [RFC8342].

The second YANG module, "ietf-service-assurance-device" (Section 4), augments the "ietf-service-assurance" module by adding support for the device subservice. Additional subservice types might be added following a similar approach.

The third YANG module, "ietf-service-assurance-interface" (Section 5), is another example that augments the "ietf-service-assurance" module, by adding support for the interface subservice.

We provide additional examples in the appendix. The module "example-service-assurance-device-acme" (Appendix A) augments the "ietf-service-assurance-device" module to customize it for devices of the fictional ACME Corporation. Additional vendor-specific parameters might be added following a similar approach. We also provide the modules "example-service-assurance-ip-connectivity" and "example-service-assurance-is-is" (Appendix B) to model the example in Figure 2 from Section 3.1 of [I-D.ietf-opsawg-service-assurance-architecture].

3. Base IETF Service Assurance YANG Module

3.1. Concepts

The "ietf-service-assurance" YANG module assumes a set of subservices, to be assured independently. A subservice is a feature or a subpart of the network system that a given service instance depends on. Examples of subservices include:

  • device: whether a device is healthy, and if not, what are the symptoms. Potential symptoms are "CPU overloaded", "Out of RAM", or "Out of TCAM".
  • ip-connectivity: given two IP addresses bound to two devices, what is the quality of the IP connectivity between them. Potential symptoms are "No route available" or "ECMP Imbalance".

The first example is a subservice representing a subpart of the network system, while the second is a subservice representing a feature of the network. In both cases, these subservices might depend on other subservices, for instance, the connectivity might depend on a subservice representing the routing system and on a subservice representing ECMP.

The two subservices presented above need different sets of parameters to fully characterize one of their instance. An instance of the device subservice is fully characterized by a single parameter allowing to identify the device to monitor. For ip-connectivity subservice, at least the device and IP address for both ends of the link are needed to fully characterize an instance. Therefore, the "ietf-service-assurance" module is intended to be augmented for each type of subservice, so that the needed parameters are modelled in the augmenting module.

The only "built-in" type available represents service instances. A service instance is represented as a subservice instance of type "service". The parameters required to fully identify a service instance are the type of the service and the name of the service instance.

The dependencies are modelled as an adjacency list, in the sense that each subservice contains a list of pointers to its dependencies. That list can be empty if the subservice instance does not have any dependencies.

By specifying service instances and their dependencies in terms of subservices, one defines a global assurance graph. That assurance graph is the result of merging all the individual assurance graphs for the assured service instances. Each subservice instance is expected to appear only one in the global assurance graph even if several service instances depend on it. For example, an instance of the device subservice is a dependency of every service instance that rely on the corresponding device. The assurance graph of a specific service instance is the subgraph obtained by traversing the global assurance graph through the dependencies starting from the specific service instance.

An assurance agent configured with such a graph is expected to produce, for each configured subservice: a health-status indicating how healthy the subservice is and when the subservice is not healthy, a list of symptoms explaining why the subservice is not healthy.

3.2. Tree View

The date of last change "assurance-graph-last-change" is read only. It must be updated each time the graph structure is changed by addition or deletion of subservices, dependencies or modification of their configurable attributes. Such modifications correspond to a structural change in the graph. The date of last change is useful for a client to quickly check if there is a need to update the graph structure. A change in the health-score or symptoms associated to a service or subservice does not change the structure of the graph and thus has no effect on the date of last change.

The "subservice" list contains all the subservice instances currently configured on the server. A subservice declaration MUST provide:

  • A subservice type ("type"): reference to an identity that inherits from "subservice-base", which is the base identity for any subservice type.
  • An id ("id"): string uniquely identifying the subservice among those with the same type,

The type and id uniquely identify a given subservice.

The "last-change" indicates when this particular subservice was modified for the last time.

The "label" is a human-readable description of the subservice.

The presence of "maintenance-contact" field inhibits the emission of symptoms for that subservice and subservices that depend on them. See Section 3.6 of [I-D.ietf-opsawg-service-assurance-architecture] for a more detailed discussion.

The "parameter" choice is intended to be augmented in order to describe parameters that are specific to the current subservice type. This base module defines only the subservice type representing service instances. Service instances MUST be modeled as a particular type of subservice with two parameters, "service" and "instance-name". The "service" parameter is the name of the service defined in the network orchestrator, for instance "point-to-point-l2vpn". The "instance-name" parameter is the name assigned to the particular instance to be assured, for instance the name of the customer using that instance.

The "health-score" contains a value normally between 0 and 100 indicating how healthy the subservice is. The special value -1 can be used to specify that no value could be computed for that health-score, for instance if some metric needed for that computation could not be collected.

The "symptoms-history-start" is the cutoff date for reporting symptoms. Symptoms that were terminated before that date are not reported anymore in the model.

The status of each subservice contains a list of symptoms. Each symptom is specified by

  • an identifier "symptom-id" which identifies the symptom locally to an agent,
  • an agent identifier "agent-id" which identifies the agent raising the symptom,
  • a "health-score-weight" specifying the impact to the health score incurred by this symptom,
  • a "start-date-time" indicating when the symptom became active and
  • a "stop-date-time" indicating when the symptom stopped being active, that field is not present if the symptom is still active.

In order for the pair "agent-id" and "symptom-id" to uniquely identify a symptom, the following is necessary:

  • The "agent-id" MUST be unique among all agents of the system
  • The "symptom-id" MUST be unique among all symptoms raised by the agent

Note that "agent-id" and "symptom-id" are leafrefs pointing to the objects defined later in the document. While the combination of "symptom-id" and "agent-id" is sufficient as an unique key list, the "start-date-time" second key help sorting and retrieving relevant symptoms.

The "dependency" list contains the dependencies for the current subservice. Each of them is specified by a leafref to both "type" and "id" of the target dependencies. A dependency has a type indicated in the "dependency-type" field. Two types are specified in the model:

  • Impacting: such a dependency indicates an impact on the health of the dependent,
  • Informational: such a dependency might explain why the dependent has issues but does not impact its health.

To illustrate the difference between "impacting" and "informational", consider the interface subservice, representing a network interface. If the device to which the network interface belongs goes down, the network interface will transition to a "down" state as well. Therefore, the dependency of the interface subservice towards the device subservice is "impacting". On the other hand, a dependency towards the ecmp-load subservice, which checks that the load between ECMP remains stable throughout time, is only "informational". Indeed, services might be perfectly healthy even if the load distribution between ECMP changed. However, such an instability might be a relevant symptom for diagnosing the root cause of a problem.

The list "agents" at the top level contains the list of symptoms per agent. As stated above, the key of the list is the "agent-id", which MUST be unique among agents of a given assurance system. For each agent, the list "symptoms-description" maps a "symptom-id" to its "description". The "symptom-id" MUST be unique among the symptoms raised by the agent.

The list "assured-services" presents the subservices indexed by assured service instances. For each service type, identified by the "service" leaf, all instances of that service are listed in the "instances" list. For each instance, identified by the "instance" leaf, the "subservices" list contains all subservices part of the assurance graph for that specific instance. These imbricated lists provide a query optimization to get the list of subservices in that assurance graph in a single query, instead of recursively querying the dependencies of each subservice, starting from the node representing the service instance.

The relation between the health score ("health-score") and the health-score-weight of the currently active symptoms is not explicitly defined in this document. The only requirement is that a health score that strictly smaller than 100 (the maximal value) must be explained by at least one symptom. A way to enforce that requirement is to first detect symptoms and then compute the health score based on the health-score-weight of the detected symptoms. As an example, such a computation could be to sum the health-score-weight of the active symptoms, subtract that value from 100 and change the value to 0 if negative. The relation between health-score and health-score-weight is left to the implementor (of an agent [I-D.ietf-opsawg-service-assurance-architecture]).

Keeping the history of the graph structure is out of scope for this YANG module. Only the current version of the assurance graph can be fetched. In order to keep the history of the graph structure, some time-series database (TSDB) or similar storage must be used.

3.4. Rejecting Circular Dependencies

The statuses of services and subservices depend on the statuses of their dependencies, and thus circular dependencies between them prevents the computation of statuses. The SAIN architecture document [I-D.ietf-opsawg-service-assurance-architecture] discusses in Section 3.1.1 how such dependencies appear and how they could be removed. The responsibility of avoiding such dependencies falls to the SAIN orchestrator. However, we specify in this section the expected behavior when a server supporting the ietf-service-assurance module receives a data instance containing circular dependencies.

Enforcing the absence of circular dependencies as a YANG constraint falls back to implementing a graph traversal algorithm with XPath and checking that the current node is not reachable from its dependencies. Even with such a constraint, there is no guarantee that merging two graphs without dependency loops will result in a graph without dependency loops. Indeed, the Section 3.1.1 of [I-D.ietf-opsawg-service-assurance-architecture] presents an example where merging two graphs without dependency loops results in a graph with a dependency loop.

Therefore, a server implementing the ietf-service-assurance module MUST check that there is no dependency loop whenever the graph is modified. A modification creating a dependency loop MUST be rejected.

4. Subservice Augmentation: ietf-service-assurance-device YANG module

4.1. Tree View

The following tree diagram [RFC8340] provides an overview of the "ietf-service-assurance-device" module.

module: ietf-service-assurance-device

  augment /sain:subservices/sain:subservice/sain:parameter:
    +--rw parameters
       +--rw device    string

A complete tree view of the base module with all augmenting modules presented in this draft is available in Appendix B.3.

4.2. Concepts

As the number of subservices will grow over time, the YANG module is designed to be extensible. A new subservice type requires the precise specifications of its type and expected parameters. Let us illustrate the example of the new device subservice type. As the name implies, it monitors and reports the device health, along with some symptoms in case of degradation.

For our device subservice definition, the new identity "device-type" is specified, as an inheritance from the base identity for subservices. This indicates to the assurance agent that we are now assuring the health of a device.

The typical parameter for the configuration of the device subservice is the name of the device that we want to assure. By augmenting the parameter choice from ietf-service-assurance YANG module for the case of the "device-type" subservice type, this new parameter is specified.

5. Subservice Augmentation: ietf-service-assurance-interface YANG module

5.1. Tree View

The following tree diagram [RFC8340] provides an overview of the ietf-service-assurance-interface data model.

module: ietf-service-assurance-interface

  augment /sain:subservices/sain:subservice/sain:parameter:
    +--rw parameters
       +--rw device       string
       +--rw interface    string

A complete tree view of the base module with all augmenting modules presented in this draft is available in Appendix B.3.

5.2. Concepts

For the interface subservice definition, the new interface-type is specified, as an inheritance from the base identity for subservices. This indicates to the assurance agent that we are now assuring the health of an interface.

The typical parameters for the configuration of the interface subservice are the name of the device and, on that specific device, a specific interface. By augmenting the parameter choice from ietf-service-assurance YANG module for the case of the interface-type subservice type, those two new parameters are specified.

6. Security Considerations

The YANG module specified in this document defines a schema for data that is designed to be accessed via network management protocols such as NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is Secure Shell (SSH) [RFC6242]. The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS [RFC8446].

The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341] provides the means to restrict access for particular NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol operations and content.

There are a number of data nodes defined in this YANG module that are writable/ creatable/deletable (i.e., config true, which is the default). These data nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. Write operations (e.g., edit-config) to these data nodes without proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations. These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

Some of the readable data nodes in this YANG module may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to control read access (e.g., via get, get-config, or notification) to these data nodes. These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

Appendix A. Vendor-specific Subservice Augmentation: example-service-assurance-device-acme YANG module

A.1. Tree View

The following tree diagram [RFC8340] provides an overview of the "example-service-assurance-device-acme" module.

module: example-service-assurance-device-acme

  augment /sain:subservices/sain:subservice/sain:parameter:

       +--rw device                     string
       +--rw acme-specific-parameter    string

A complete tree view of the base module with all augmenting modules presented in this draft is available in Appendix B.3.

A.2. Concepts

Under some circumstances, vendor-specific subservice types might be required. As an example of this vendor-specific implementation, this section shows how to augment the "ietf-service-assurance-device" module to add custom support for the device subservice, specific to the ACME Corporation. The specific version adds a new parameter, named "acme-specific-parameter". It's an implementation choice to either augment the identity from ietf-service-assurance or to augment the parameters from ietf-service-assurance-device, here we choose to augment the identity.

Appendix B. Further Augmentations: IP Connectivity and IS-IS subservices

In this section, we provide two additional YANG modules to completely cover the example in Figure 2 from Section 3.1 of [I-D.ietf-opsawg-service-assurance-architecture]. These modules are presented as examples, some future work is needed to propose a more complete version.

B.1. IP Connectivity Tree View

That subservice represents the unicast connectivity between two IP addresses located on two different devices. Such a subservice could report symptoms such as "No route found". The following tree diagram [RFC8340] provides an overview of the "example-service-assurance-ip-connectivity" module.

module: example-service-assurance-ip-connectivity

  augment /sain:subservices/sain:subservice/sain:parameter:
    +--rw parameters
       +--rw device1     string
       +--rw address1    inet:ip-address
       +--rw device2     string
       +--rw address2    inet:ip-address

To specify the connectivity that we are interested in, we specify two IP addresses and two devices. The subservice assures that the connectivity between IP address 1 on device 1 and IP address 2 on device 2 is healthy.

B.2. IS-IS Tree View

The following tree diagram [RFC8340] provides an overview of the "example-service-assurance-is-is" module.

module: example-service-assurance-is-is

  augment /sain:subservices/sain:subservice/sain:parameter:
    +--rw parameters
       +--rw instance-name    string

The parameter of this subservice is the name of the IS-IS instance to assure.

B.3. Global Tree View

The following tree diagram [RFC8340] provides an overview of the "ietf-service-assurance", "ietf-service-assurance-device", "example-service-assurance-device-acme", "example-service-assurance-ip-connectivity" and "example-service-assurance-is-is" modules.

Appendix C. Example of YANG instances

This section contains examples of YANG instances that conform to the YANG modules. The validity of these data instances has been checked using yangson. Yangson requires a YANG library [RFC7895] to define the complete model against which the data instance must be validated. We provide in Appendix D the JSON library file, named "ietf-service-assurance-library.json", that we used for validation.

We provide below the contents of the file "example_configuration_instance.json" which contains the configuration data that models the Figure 2 from Section 3.1 of [I-D.ietf-opsawg-service-assurance-architecture]. The instance can be validated with yangson by using the invocation "yangson -v example_configuration_instance.json ietf-service-assurance-library.json", assuming all the files (YANG and JSON) defined in this draft reside in the current folder.
