Deployments

There are numerous ways gnmic can be deployed, each fulfilling a specific use case.

Whether it is gNMI telemetry collection and export to a single output, or clustered data pipelines with high availability and redundancy, the below examples should cover the most common use cases.

Each example comes with a set of deployment files:

• one or multiple gnmic configuration file(s)
• a docker-compose file
• extra configuration files if the used output requires it (e.g: prometheus)

If you do not not find an example that fits your need, feel free to start a discussion on github

Single Instance#

These examples showcase single gnmic instance deployments with the most commonly used outputs

• NATS output
• Kafka output
• InfluxDB output
• Prometheus output
• Multiple outputs

Clusters#

gnmic can also be deployed in clustered mode to either load share the targets connections between multiple instances and offer connection resiliency, and/or replicate the collected data among all the cluster members

• InfluxDB output
• Prometheus output
• Prometheus output with data replication

Pipelines#

Building data pipelines using gnmic is achieved using the outputs and inputs plugins.

You will be able to process the data in a serial fashion, split it for parallel processing or mirror it to create a forked pipeline.

• NATS to Prometheus
• NATS to InfluxDB
• Clustered pipeline
• Forked pipeline
