1.  Introduction

   This document defines a data model for Large-Scale Measurement
   Platforms (LMAP) [I-D.ietf-lmap-framework].  The data model is
   defined using the YANG [RFC6020] data modeling language.  It aims to
   be consistent with the LMAP Information Model
   [I-D.ietf-lmap-information-model].

1.1.  Terminology

   This document uses the LMAP terminology defined in
   [I-D.ietf-lmap-framework].

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

1.2.  Tree Diagrams

   A simplified graphical representation of the data model is used in
   this document.  The meaning of the symbols in these diagrams is as
   follows:

   o  Brackets "[" and "]" enclose list keys.

   o  Abbreviations before data node names: "rw" means configuration
      (read-write), and "ro" means state data (read-only).

Internet-Draft               LMAP Data Model                   July 2015

   o  Symbols after data node names: "?" means an optional node, "!"
      means a presence container, and "*" denotes a list and leaf-list.

   o  Parentheses enclose choice and case nodes, and case nodes are also
      marked with a colon (":").

   o  Ellipsis ("...") stands for contents of subtrees that are not
      shown.

   model.

3.  Relationship to the Information Model

   The LMAP information model [I-D.ietf-lmap-information-model] is
   devided into six sections.  They are mapped into the YANG data model
   as explained below:

   o  Pre-Configuration Information: This is not modeled explicitly
      since it is a subset of the configuration information.

   o  Configuration Information: This is modeled in the /lmap/agent
      subtree and the /lmap/schedules and /lmap/tasks subtrees described
      below.  Some items have been left out because they are expected to
      be dealt with by the underlying protocol.

   o  Instruction Information: This is modeled in the /lmap/suppression
      subtree and the /lmap/schedules and /lmap/tasks subtrees described
      below.

   o  Logging Information: Some of the logging information, in
      particular 'success/failure/warning messages in response to
      information updates from the Controller', will be handled by the

Internet-Draft               LMAP Data Model                   July 2015

      protocol used to manipulate the lmap specific configuration.
      [[CREF1: It needs to be discussed whether we can rely on informal
      syslog messages that can be accessed via protocols such RFC 5277
      or whether we want to define specific notifications in the YANG
      data model. --JS]]

   o  Capability and Status Information: Some of the status information
      is modeled in the /lmap-state/agent subtree.  Information about
      network interfaces can be obtained from the interfaces YANG data
      model [RFC7223].  The list of supported tasks is modeled in the
      /lmap-state/tasks subtree including information about the last
      execution and the last failed execution.

   o  Reporting Information: This is modeled by the report notification.

   These six sections are build on the following common information
   objects:

   o  Schedules: This is modeled in the /lmap/schedules subtree.

   o  Channels: Channels are not modeled since the NETCONF and RESTCONF
      server configuration data model [I-D.ietf-netconf-server-model]
      already provides a mechanism to configure NETCONF and RESTCONF
      server channels.

   o  Task Configurations: This is modeled in the /lmap/tasks subtree.

   o  Event Information: This is modeled in the /lmap/events subtree.

4.  YANG Modules

   The modules import definitions from [RFC6991] and [RFC7223].

Appendix A.  Open Issues

   o  The task-options-grouping needs fixing, see the comments inline.

   o  Should results be shipped via notifications or would it be more
      practical to have a collector provding a RESTCONF server and data
      is simply written via posts to suitable resources?  This seems to
      be the way current platforms work.  If we do this, we also need to
      think about how RESTCONF client credentials are configured.

Appendix B.  Non-editorial Changes since -06

   o  A task can now reference multiply registry entries.

   o  Schedules are triggered by Events instead of Timings; Timings are
      just one of many possible event sources.

   o  Actions feed into other Schedules (instead of Actions within other
      Schedules).

   o  Removed the notion of multiple task outputs.

   o  Support for sequential, parallel, and pipelined execution of
      Actions.
