Is it possible to run gnmic as gnmi-server without a subscription

[arnaudcoquelet]

I'm new to gnmic, so maybe I'm missing something, But I'm curious if there is a way to start gnmic as a gnmi-server so it behaves as a proxy for SET/GET operations, but without defining a subscription.

Right now the only I get it to work is if I define a subscription and start it like this "gnmic --config config.yml subscribe"

Here is how the config.yml is built:

# cat config.yml 
username: admin
password: NokiaSrl1!
skip-verify: true
encoding: json_ietf
log: true

gnmi-server:
  address: 0.0.0.0:57400
  log: true
  enable-metrics: true

api-server:
  enable-metrics: true

targets:
  spine1:
    address: 10.96.8.70:50052
  spine2:
    address: 10.96.8.67:50052
  leaf1:
    address: 10.96.8.68:50052
  leaf2:
    address: 10.96.8.69:50052
  leaf3:
    address: 10.96.8.72:50052

subscriptions:
  sub1:
    paths:
      - /system/name
    stream-mode: sample
    sample-interval: 60s

If the subscriptions is not defined, the application stops as expected because gnmic was started with the keyword subscribe.

It's not currently possible. The gNMI proxy function was added to allow multiple clients to subscribe to the same data without duplicating subscriptions to the target. Proxying Get/Set was added later on. There was some discussions about adding that functionality as a separate command (gnmic proxy) but it was never implemented. Is this something you would be interested on ?

It would be a nice to have feature on my end

That would allow to solve 2 situations: -When the client is not able to reach directly the gnmi server -When the client use an API that is not fully capable to interop with a server (in my case, pygnmi and gnnmi servers with a certificate without subject/subject alternative name)

This took a bit of time but you can now(v0.37.0) use the proxy command. gNMIc will run as a proxy without the need to define subscriptions.
