Notifications

NETCONFNetwork Configuration (NETCONF) is an IETF configuration management protocol, and YANG is its data modeling language. NETCONF provides mechanisms to install, manipulate, and delete the configuration of network devices. The NETCONF protocol operations are realized as remote procedure calls (RPCs) to query and edit network device configuration. notifications are asynchronous, one-way messages that originate from the NETCONF server and notify users that an event has occurred.

An event is an occurrence of interest, such as a configuration change, a fault or task failure, a change in status, crossing a threshold, or an external input to the system.

Clients can subscribe to event-streams defined in the server using a subscription mechanism. See Event Notifications.
