          A YANG Data model for Policy based Event Management
                     draft-wwx-netmod-event-yang-01

Abstract

   [RFC8328] defines a policy-based management framework that allow
   definition of a data model to be used to represent high-level,
   possibly network-wide policies.  This document defines an YANG data
   model for the policy based event management [RFC7950].  The policy
   based Event YANG provides the ability for the network management
   function (within a controller, an orchestrator, or a network element)
   to control the configuration and monitor state change on the network
   element and take simple and instant action when a trigger condition
   on the system state is met.

1.  Introduction

   [RFC8328] defines a policy-based management framework that allow
   definition of a data model to be used to represent high-level,
   possibly network-wide policies.  This document defines an policy
   based Event Management YANG data model [RFC7950].  The policy based
   Event management YANG provides the ability for the network management
   function (within a controller, an orchestrator, or a network element)
   to monitor state changes on the network element and take simple and
   instant action when a trigger condition on the system state is met.

   The data model in this document is designed to be compliant with the
   Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342].

2.  Conventions used in this document

2.1.  Terminology

   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].  In this
   document, these words will appear with that interpretation only when

   in ALL CAPS.  Lower case uses of these words are not to be
   interpreted as carrying [RFC2119] significance.

   This document uses the following terms:

   Error  A deviation of a system from normal operation [RFC3877].

   Fault  Lasting error or warning condition [RFC3877].

   Event  Something that happens which may be of interest or trigger the
      invocation of the rule.  A fault, an alarm, a change in network
      state, network security threat, hardware malfunction, buffer
      untilization crossing a threshold, network connection setup, an
      external input to the system, for example [RFC3877].

2.2.  Tree Diagrams

   Tree diagrams used in this document follow the notation defined in
   [RFC8340].

3.  Objectives

   This section describes some of the design objectives for the policy
   based Event management Data Model:

   o  The policy based Event management YANG should provide the ability
      for the network management function to control configuration and
      monitor state changes on a network element using the NETCONF/
      RESTCONF, and initiate simple actions whenever a trigger condition
      is met.  For example, a NETCONF subscribed notification can be
      generated when a system state value exceeds the threshold.

   o  Clear and precise identification of policy based Event types and
      managed objects.

   o  Allow the server to inform the client that certain Event are
      related to other Event.

   o  Allow one event to be able to trigger another external event or
      generate derived events.

   o  The event data model defined in this document can be implemented
      on the management system that also implements EVENT-MIB; thus, the
      mapping between the event data model and ENTITY-MIB should be
      clear.

4.  Relationship to YANG Push

   YANG-push mechanism provides a subscription service for updates from
   a datastore.  And it supports two types of subscriptions which are
   distinguished by how updates are triggered: periodic and on-change.

   The On-change Push allow receivers to receive updates whenever
   changes to target managed objects occur.  This document specifies a
   mechanism that provides three trigger conditions:

   o  Existence: When a specific managed object appears, the trigger
      fires, e.g. reserved ports are configured.

   o  Boolean: The user can set the type of boolean comparison (e.g.
      unequal, equal, less, less-or-equal, greater, greater-or-equal,
      etc).  If the test result is true, the trigger fires.  The trigger
      will not fire again until the test result has become false and
      fall back to be true. e.g., when the boolean comparison type is
      'less', the trigger will be fired if the system state value of
      managed object is less than the value set for the target manged
      object.

   o  Threshold: The event that may be triggered when a managed object
      in multiple instances of the data tree is found and exceed the
      pre-configured threshold.  For example, when the system state
      value of that managed object is greater than or equal to 'rising-
      value' and the 'startup' is equal to 'rising', then one threshold
      rising event is triggered for that managed object.  Another
      example is if the system state value of the managed object is less
      than or equal to 'falling-value' and the 'startup' is equal to
      'falling' then one threshold falling event is triggered for that
      managed object.

   And the YANG Push mechanism more focus on the remote mirroring and
   monitoring of configuration and operational state.  For example, for
   on change method, the subscriber will receive a notification if the
   changes occurs.  The model defined in this document provides a method
   which allow automatic adjusting the value of the corresponding
   managed object when some event is triggered.  It establishes
   connection between network service monitoring and network service
   provision and can use output generated by network service monitoring
   as input of network service provision and thereby provide automated
   network management.  The details of the usage example is described in
   Appendix A.

5.  Relationship to EVENT MIB

   If the device implements the EVENT-MIB [RFC2981], each entry in the
   "/events/event/trigger" list is mapped to MteTriggerEntry,MteTriggerE
   xistenceEntry,MteTriggerBooleanEntry,MteTriggerThresholdEntry,MteObje
   ctsEntry,MteEventEntry,MteEventSetEntry.  respectively.

   The following table lists the YANG data nodes with corresponding
   objects in the EVENT-MIB [RFC2981].

6.  Model Overview

   The YANG data model for the Event management has been split into two
   modules:

Wang, et al.            Expires September 2, 2019               [Page 6]
Internet-Draft                 Event YANG                     March 2019

   o  The ietf-event-trigger.yang module defines a grouping for a
      generic trigger.  It is intended that this grouping will be used
      by the policy based event management model or other models that
      require the trigger conditions.  In this model, three trigger
      conditions are defined under the "test" choice node:

      *  Existence: When a specific managed object appears, the trigger
         fires.

      *  Boolean: If the test result on specific managed object is true
         the trigger fires.  The Boolean trigger condition is used when
         threshold value is a static value or pre-configured value.

      *  Threshold: The event that may be triggered when the system
         state value of a managed object within data-instance list
         exceed the threshold.  The threshold trigger condition is used
         when threshold value changes over time or the system state
         value of managed object changes in ascend or descend order.

   o  The ietf-event.yang module defines four lists: trigger, target,
      event, and action.  Triggers define the targets meeting some
      conditions that lead to events.  Events trigger corresponding
      actions:

      *  Each trigger can be seen as a logical test that, if satisfied
         or evaluated to be true, cause the action to be carried out.
         The ietf-event.yang module uses groupings defined in ietf-
         event-trigger.yang to present the trigger attributes.

      *  The target list defines managed objects that can be added to
         notifications or be set to a new value on the trigger, the
         trigger test type, or the event that resulted in the actions.

      *  The event list defines what happens when an event is triggered,
         i.e., trigger corresponding action, e.g., sending a
         notification, setting a value to the managed object or both.

      *  The action list consists of updates or invocations on local
         managed object attributes and defines a set of actions which
         will be performed (e.g. notification, set, another event, etc)
         when corresponding event be triggered.  The value to be set can
         use many variations on rule structure.

   The following tree diagrams [RFC8340] provide an overview of the data
   model for "ietf-event-trigger" module and the "ietf-event" module.

   One event may trigger another event,i.e., the action output in the
   first event can be input to target in the second event, but if it
   does not trigger another event, the relation between action and
   target should be ignored.

9.  Security Considerations

   The YANG modules defined in this document MAY be accessed via the
   RESTCONF protocol [RFC8040] or NETCONF protocol ([RFC6241]).  The
   lowest RESTCONF or NETCONF layer requires that the transport-layer
   protocol provides both data integrity and confidentiality, see
   Section 2 in [RFC8040] and [RFC6241].  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
   [RFC5246].

   The NETCONF access control model [RFC6536] 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:

   o  /events/event/event-name

   o  /events/event/target

   o  /events/action/set/target

   o  /events/event/trigger/name

10.  IANA Considerations

Appendix A.  Example of Event

   For example, some service requires to monitoring the "in-errors"
   state of the interface, and if the value of "in-errors" exceeds the
   threshold, the event should reset the interface's enabled value to
   false:

Appendix B.  Changes between revisions

   v00 - v01

   o  Separate ietf-event-trigger.yang from Event management modeland
      ietf-event.yang and make it reusable in other YANG models.

   o  Clarify the difference between boolean trigger condition and
      threshold trigger condition.

   o  Change evt-smp-min and evt-smp-max into min-data-object and max-
      data-object in the data model.
