Input and output integration overview
<p>The gNMI (gRPC Network Management Interface) Input Plugin collects telemetry data from network devices using the gNMI Subscribe method. It supports TLS for secure authentication and data transmission.</p>
<p>This plugin enables Telegraf to send metrics to Amazon Redshift using the PostgreSQL plugin, allowing metrics to be stored in a scalable, SQL-compatible data warehouse.</p>
Integration details
gNMI
<p>This input plugin is vendor-agnostic and can be used with any platform that supports the gNMI specification. It consumes telemetry data based on the gNMI Subscribe method, allowing for real-time monitoring of network devices.</p>
AWS Redshift
<p>This configuration uses the Telegraf PostgreSQL plugin to send metrics to Amazon Redshift, AWS’s fully managed cloud data warehouse that supports SQL-based analytics at scale. Although Redshift is based on PostgreSQL 8.0.2, it does not support all standard PostgreSQL features such as full JSONB, stored procedures, or upserts. Therefore, care must be taken to predefine compatible tables and schema when using Telegraf for Redshift integration. This setup is ideal for use cases that benefit from long-term, high-volume metric storage and integration with AWS analytics tools like QuickSight or Redshift Spectrum. Metrics stored in Redshift can be joined with business datasets for rich observability and BI analysis.</p>

Input and output integration examples
gNMI
<ol> <li> <p><strong>Monitoring Cisco Devices</strong>: Use the gNMI plugin to collect telemetry data from Cisco IOS XR, NX-OS, or IOS XE devices for performance monitoring.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Real-time Network Insights</strong>: With the gNMI plugin, network administrators can gain insights into real-time metrics such as interface statistics and CPU usage.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Secure Data Collection</strong>: Configure the gNMI plugin with TLS settings to ensure secure communication while collecting sensitive telemetry data from devices.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Flexible Data Handling</strong>: Use the subscription options to customize which telemetry data you want to collect based on specific needs or requirements.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Error Handling</strong>: The plugin includes troubleshooting options to handle common issues like missing metric names or TLS handshake failures.</p> </li> </ol>
AWS Redshift
<ol> <li> <p><strong>Business-Aware Infrastructure Monitoring</strong>: Store infrastructure metrics from Telegraf in Redshift alongside sales, marketing, or customer engagement data. Analysts can correlate system performance with business KPIs using SQL joins and window functions.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Historical Trend Analysis for Cloud Resources</strong>: Use Telegraf to continuously log CPU, memory, and I/O metrics to Redshift. Combine with time-series SQL queries and visualization tools like Amazon QuickSight to spot trends and forecast resource demand.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Security Auditing of System Behavior</strong>: Send metrics related to system logins, file changes, or resource spikes into Redshift. Analysts can build dashboards or reports for compliance auditing using SQL queries across multi-year data sets.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Cross-Environment SLA Reporting</strong>: Aggregate SLA metrics from multiple cloud accounts and regions using Telegraf, and push them to a central Redshift warehouse. Enable unified SLA compliance dashboards and executive reporting via a single SQL interface.</p> </li> </ol>
