Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 User Guide Release 10.5.1

Telemetry terminology

Dial-out mode

The switch initiates a session with one or more devices according to the sensor paths and destinations in a subscription.

Sensor path

The path used to collect data for streaming telemetry.

Sensor group

A reusable group of multiple sensor paths and exclude filters.

Destination group

The IP address and transport port on a destination server to which telemetry data is streamed. You can configure multiple destinations and reuse the destination group in subscription profiles.

Subscription profile

Data collector destinations and stream attributes that are associated with sensor paths. A subscription ties sensor paths and a destination group with a transport protocol, encoding format, and streaming interval.

The telemetry agent in the switch attempts to establish a session with each collector in the subscription profile, and streams data to the collector. If a collector is not reachable, the telemetry agent continuously tries to establish the connection at one-minute intervals.
