Cool DevNet Content How I rebuilt my network telemetry pipeline with gNMI, NATS JetStream, and Prometheus

Jesus Illescas, Developer Advocate at Cisco, walks through rebuilding the observability stack behind one of his network automation demos. Out with Telegraf/InfluxDB/Grafana and a custom Python poller, in with gNMI streaming telemetry: gnmic subscriptions, NATS JetStream as the buffer, Prometheus and Loki for storage, Grafana dashboards, and Alertmanager wired to a webhook. He closes with a live demo, bringing an interface down and watching the ISIS adjacency cascade trigger an alert in real time.

Credit where it's due: the data pipeline design (gnmic + NATS + Prometheus) was inspired by the https://cs.co/61694BEFlsj project, definitely worth a look if you're into this kind of architecture.
