Appendix – UFM Telemetry Fluent Streaming (TFS) Plugin

TFS plugin is a self-contained Docker container with REST API support managed by UFM. TFS plugin provides Telemetry counters streaming to FluentD capability. As a fabric manager, the UFM Telemetry holds a real-time network telemetry information of the network topology. This information changes over time and is reflected to the telemetry console. In order to do so, we present a stream of the UFM Telemetry data to the FluentD plugin.

The following are the possible ways TFS plugin can be deployed:

1. On UFM Appliance

2. On UFM Software

The following authentication types are supported:

• basic (/ufmRest)

• client (/ufmRestV2)

• token (/ufmRestV3)

The following REST APIs are supported:

• POST /plugin/tfs/conf

• GET /plugin/tfs/conf
