Introduction Network management consists of using one or multiple device-, technology-, service specific policies to influence management behavior within the system and make sure policies are enforced or executed correctly. Wang, et al. Expires June 12, 2020 [Page 2] Internet-Draft ECA YANG December 2019 [RFC8328] defines a policy-based management framework that allow definition of a data model to be used to represent high-level, possibly network-wide policies. Policies discussed in [RFC8328] are classified into imperative policy and declarative policy. Declarative policy specifies the goals to be achieved but not how to achieve those goals while imperative policy specifies when Events are triggered and what actions must be performed on the occurrence of an event. Event Condition Action (ECA) policy is a typical example of imperative policy. Event-driven management of states of managed objects across a wide range of devices can be used to monitor state changes of managed objects or resource and automatic trigger of rules in response to events so as to better service assurance for customers and to provide rapid autonomic response that can exhibit self-management properties including self-configuration, self-healing, self-optimization, and self-protection. Following are some of the use-cases where such ECA Policy can be used: o To filter out of objects underneath a requested a subtree, the subscriber may use YANG Push smart filter to request the network server to monitor specific network management data objects and send updates only when the value falls within a certain range. o To filter out of objects underneath a requested a subtree, the subscriber may use YANG Push smart filter to request the network server to monitor specific network management data objects and send updates only when the value exceeds a certain threshold for the first time but not again until the threshold is cleared. o To provide rapid autonomic response that can exhibit self- management properties, the management system delegate event response behaviors (e.g., auto-recover from network failure) to the network device so that the network can react to network change as quickly as the event is detected. The event response behaviors delegation can be done using ECA policy,e.g., to preconfigure protection/ restoration capability on the network device. o To perform troubleshoot failures (i.e., fault verification and localization) and provide root cause analysis, the management system monitoring specific network management data objects may request the network device to export state information of a set of managed data objects when the value of monitored data object exceeds a certain threshold. o To set up an LSP and reserve resources within the network via NETCONF protocol operation, Path Computation API RPC model can be Wang, et al. Expires June 12, 2020 [Page 3] Internet-Draft ECA YANG December 2019 invoked to calculate a path meeting end-to-end network performance criteria. This document defines a ECA Policy management YANG data model. The ECA Policy YANG provides the ability for the network management function (within a network element) to control the configurations and monitor state parameters and take simple and instant action on the server when a trigger condition on the system state is met. The data model in this document is designed to be compliant with the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342]. 2. Conventions used in this document 2.1. Terminology The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. In this document, these words will appear with that interpretation only when in ALL CAPS. Lower case uses of these words are not to be interpreted as carrying [RFC2119] significance. The following terms are defined in [RFC7950] [RFC3460] and are not redefined here: o Server o Client o Policy variable o Policy value o Implicit policy variable o explicit policy variable This document uses the following terms: Event: Something that happens which may be of interest or trigger the invocation of the rule. A fault, an alarm, a change in network state, network security threat, hardware malfunction, buffer untilization crossing a threshold, network connection setup, an external input to the system, for example. Wang, et al. Expires June 12, 2020 [Page 4] Internet-Draft ECA YANG December 2019 Condition: Condition can be seen as a logical test that, if satisfied or evaluated to be true, cause the action to be carried out. Action: Updates or invocations on local managed object attributes. 2.2. Tree Diagrams Tree diagrams used in this document follow the notation defined in [RFC8340]. 3. Relationship to YANG Push YANG-push mechanism provides a subscription service for updates from a datastore. And it supports two types of subscriptions which are distinguished by how updates are triggered: periodic and on-change. The on-change push allow receivers to receive updates whenever changes to target managed objects occur. This document specifies a mechanism that provides three trigger conditions: o Existence: When a specific managed object appears,disappear or object change, the trigger fires, e.g. reserved ports are configured. o Boolean: The user can set the type of boolean operator (e.g. unequal, equal, less, less-or-equal, greater, greater-or-equal, etc) and preconfigured threshold value (e.g. Pre-configured threshold). If the value of a managed object meet Boolean conditions, the trigger fires, e.g., when the boolean operator type is 'less', the trigger will be fired if the value of managed object is less than the pre-configured Boolean value. o Threshold: The user can set the rising threshold,the falling threshold, the delta rising threshold, the delta falling threshold. A threshold test regularly compares the value of the monitored object with the threshold values, e.g., an event is triggered if the value of the monitored object is greater than or equal to the rising threshold or an event is triggered if the difference between the current measurement value and the previous measurement value is smaller than or equal to the delta falling threshold. In these three trigger conditions, existence with type set to object change is similar to on Push change. Wang, et al. Expires June 12, 2020 [Page 5] Internet-Draft ECA YANG December 2019 In addtion, the model defined in this document provides a method for closed loop network management automation which allows automatic trigger of rules in response to events so as to better service assurance for customers and to provide rapid autonomic response that can exhibit self-management properties including self-configuration, self-healing, self-optimization, and self-protection. The details of the usage example is described in Appendix A. 4. Overview of ECA YANG Data Model A ECA policy rule is read as: when event occurs in a situation where condition is true, then action is executed. Therefore ECA comprises three key elements: event, associated conditions, and associated actions. These three elements should be pushed down and configured on the server by the client. If the action is rejected by the server duing ECA policy execution, the action should be rolled back and cleaned up. 4.1. ECA Policy Variable and Value ECA policy variable (PV) generically represents information that changes (or "varies"), and that is set or evaluated by software. ECA policy Value is used for modeling values and constants used in policy conditions and actions. In policy, conditions and actions can abstract information as "policy variables" to be evaluated in logical expressions, or set by actions, e.g., the Policy Condition has the semantics "variable matches value" while Policy Action has the semantics "set variable to value". In ECA, two type of policy variables are defined, implicit variable and explicit variable. Explicit variables are bound to exact data object instance in the model while implicit variables are defined and evaluated outside of a model. Each ECA policy variable has the following attributes: o Name with Globally unique or ECA unique scope ; o Type either implicit or explicit; The implicit or explicit type can be further broken down into global or local. o Value data stored in the policy variable structured according to the PV type. This structure can be used to keep intermediate results/meta data during the execution of an ECA policy. The following operations are allowed with/on a PV: o initialize (with a constant/enum/identity); Wang, et al. Expires June 12, 2020 [Page 6] Internet-Draft ECA YANG December 2019 o set (with contents of another same type PV); o read (retrieve datastore contents pointed by the specified same type XPath/sub-tree); o write (modify configuration data in the datastore with the PV's content/value); o insert (PV's content into a same type list); o iterate (copy into PV one by one same type list elements) o function calls in a form of F(arg1,arg2,...), where F is an identity of a function from extendable function library, arg1,arg2,etc are PVs respectively, the function's input parameters, with the result returned in result policy variable. PVs could be used as input/output of an ECA invoked RPC and policy argument in the func calls. PVs could also be a source of information sent to the client in notification messages. PVs could be used in condition expressions The model structure for the Policy Variable is shown below: +--rw policy-variables | +--rw policy-variable* [name] | +--rw name string | +--rw type? identityref | +--rw explict-variable? yang:xpath1.0 | +--rw implict-variable? identityref | +--rw policy-value? union 4.2. ECA Event The ECA event are used to keep track of state of changes associated with one of multiple operational state data objects in the network device. Typical examples of ECA event include a fault, an alarm, a change in network state, network security threat, hardware malfunction, buffer utilization crossing a threshold, network connection setup, and an external input to the system. Each ECA Event has the following attributes: o name, the name of ECA event; o type, either one time or peridic scheduling; Wang, et al. Expires June 12, 2020 [Page 7] Internet-Draft ECA YANG December 2019 o group-id, which can be used to group a set of events that can be executed together,e.g., deliver a service or provide service assurance; o scheduled-time,configuration scheduling - scheduling one time or periodic. Nested-event are supported by allowing one event's trigger to reference other event's definitions using the call-event configuration. Called events apply their triggers and actions before returning to the calling event's trigger and resuming evaluation. If the called event is triggered, then it returns an effective boolean true value to the calling event. For the calling event, this is equivalent to a condition statement evaluating to a true value and evaluation of the event continues. All events specified in the ECA policy model are continuously monitored by the server. The model structure for the ECA Event is shown below: +--rw event* [name type] +--rw name string +--rw type identityref +--rw event-description? string +--rw group-id? group-type +--rw explict-variable* leafref +--rw clear? boolean +--rw scheduled-time | +--rw type? identityref | +--rw periodic | | +--rw interval uint32 | | +--rw start? yang:date-and-time | | +--rw end? yang:date-and-time | +--rw calendar-time | +--rw month* string | +--rw day-of-month* uint8 | +--rw day-of-week* uint8 | +--rw hour* uint8 | +--rw minute* uint8 | +--rw second* uint8 | +--rw start? yang:date-and-time | +--rw end? yang:date-and-time +--ro last-event? -> /eca/event/name Wang, et al. Expires June 12, 2020 [Page 8] Internet-Draft ECA YANG December 2019 4.3. ECA Condition Condition can be seen as a logical test that, if satisfied or evaluated to be true, cause the action to be carried out. In this model, condition can be specified as logical combinations of the following three condition expressions: o Existence: An existence condition monitors and manages the absence, presence, and change of a data object, for example, interface status. When a monitored object is specified, the system reads the value of the monitored object regularly. * If the existence test type is Absent, the system triggers a network event and takes the specified action when the monitored object disappears. * If the existence test type is Present, the system triggers a network event and takes the specified action when the monitored object appears. * If the existence test type is Changed, the system triggers a network event and takes the specified action when the value of the monitored object changes. o Boolean: A Boolean test compares the value of the monitored object with the reference value and takes action according to the comparison result. The comparision hierarchy is logical hierarchies specified in a form of: or relation is one of the comparison operations from the set: ==, !=, >, <, >=, <= o The operation types include unequal, equal, less, lessorequal, greater, and greaterorequal. For example, if the comparison type is equal, an event is triggered when the value of the monitored object equals the reference value. The event will not be triggered again until the value becomes unequal and comes back to equal. o Threshold: A threshold trigger condition regularly compares the value of the monitored object with the threshold values , with one of the following mechanisms: * A rising event is triggered if the value of the monitored object is greater than or equal to the rising threshold. Wang, et al. Expires June 12, 2020 [Page 9] Internet-Draft ECA YANG December 2019 * A falling event is triggered if the value of the monitored object is smaller than or equal to the falling threshold. * A rising event is triggered if the difference between the current measurement value and the previous measurement value is greater than or equal to the delta rising threshold. * A falling network event is triggered if the difference between the current measurement value and the previous measurement value is smaller than or equal to the delta falling threshold. * A falling event is triggered if the values of the monitored object, the rising threshold, and the falling threshold are the same. * A falling event is triggered if the delta rising threshold, the delta falling threshold, and the difference between the current sampled value and the previous sampled value is the same. If the value of the monitored object crosses a threshold multiple times in succession, the managed device triggers an event only for the first crossing. In addition, logical operation type can be used to describe complex logical operations between different condition lists under the same event, for example, (condition A & condition B) or condition C. The model structure for the condition is shown below: Wang, et al.

ECA Action The action list consists of updates or invocations on local managed object attributes and a set of actions are defined as follows, which will be performed when the corresponding event is triggered: o sending one time log notification Wang, et al. Expires June 12, 2020 [Page 11] Internet-Draft ECA YANG December 2019 o (-re)configuration - modifying a configuration data in the conventional configuration datastore. o adding/removing event notify subscription (essentially, the same action as performed when a client explicitly adds/removes a subscription) o executing an RPC defined by a YANG module supported by the server (the same action as performed when a client interactively calls the RPC); o performing operations and function calls on PVs (such as assign, read, insert, iterate, etc); Multiple ECA Actions could be triggered by a single ECA event. Any given ECA Condition or Action may appear in more than one ECAs.

Security Considerations The YANG modules defined in this document MAY be accessed via the RESTCONF protocol [RFC8040] or NETCONF protocol ([RFC6241]). The lowest RESTCONF or NETCONF layer requires that the transport-layer protocol provides both data integrity and confidentiality, see Section 2 in [RFC8040] and [RFC6241]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is Secure Shell (SSH)[RFC6242] . The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS [RFC5246]. The NETCONF access control model [RFC6536] provides the means to restrict access for particular NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol operations and content. There are a number of data nodes defined in this YANG module that are writable/creatable/deletable (i.e., config true, which is the default). These data nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. Write operations (e.g., edit-config) to these data nodes without proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations. These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability: o /eca/event/name o /eca/policy-variables/policy-variable/name o /eca/event/actions/action/name o /eca/event/condition/name Wang, et al.

Following the format in [RFC3688], the following registrations are requested to be made: --------------------------------------------------------------------- URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-eca Registrant Contact: The IESG. XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace. --------------------------------------------------------------------- This document registers one YANG module in the YANG Module Names registry [RFC6020]. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: ietf-eca Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-eca Prefix: eca Reference: RFC xxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- 9. Acknowledges This work has benefited from the discussions of ECA Policy over the years. In particular, the SUPA project [ https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/supa/about/ ] provided approaches to express high-level, possibly network-wide policies to a network management function (within a controller, an orchestrator, or a network element). Igor Bryskin, Xufeng Liu, Alexander Clemm, Henk Birkholz, Tianran Zhou contributed to an earlier version of [GNCA]. We would like to thank the authors of that document on event response behaviors delegation for material that assisted in thinking that helped improve this document. 10. Objectives for existing and possible future extension This section describes some of the design objectives for the ECA Policy management Data Model: o Clear and precise identification of Event types in the ECA Policy. o Clear and precise identification of managed object (i.e., policy variable) in the ECA Policy. Wang, et al. Expires June 12, 2020 [Page 38] Internet-Draft ECA YANG December 2019 o Allow nested ECA policy,e.g, one event to be able to call another nested event. o Allow the client use NETCONF/RESTCONF protocol or any other management protocol to configure ECA Policy. o Allow the server send updates only when the value falls within a certain range. o Allow the server send updates only when the value exceeds a certain threshold for the first time but not again until the threshold is cleared. o Allow the client optimize the system behavior across the whole network to meet objectives and provide some performance guarantees for network services. o Allow the the server provide rapid autonomic response in the network device that can exhibit self-management properties including self-configuration, self-healing, self-optimization, and self-protection. o Allow the ECA execution thread in the server use YANG Push/YANG Push extension to communicate with the client. 11.

Usage Example of Reusing Trigger-Grouping in smarter filter The "ietf-eca.yang" module defines a set of groupings for a generic condition expression. It is intended that these groupings can be reused by other models that require the trigger conditions, for example, in some subscription and notification cases, many applications do not require every update, only updates that are of certain interest. The following example describe how to reuse the "ietf-eca" module to define the subscription and notification smarter filter. Wang, et al.
