SUPPORTING GRAPHQL BASED QUERIES ON YANG BASED CONFIGURATION DATA MODELS

Abstract:

In one example, a network management system (NMS) device manages a plurality of network devices. The device includes a memory configured to store data representing a data model for a plurality of network devices managed by the NMS, and one or more processors configured to retrieve data representing the data model, construct a GraphQL model having a plurality of nodes, each of the nodes corresponding to one of the network devices according to the data model store data representing properties of the network devices associated with corresponding nodes of the GraphQL model according to the data model, receive a GraphQL query including data representing at least one query property, determine which of the nodes has a property matching the at least one query property, and return data identifying which of the network devices corresponds to the nodes having the property matching the at least one query property.
