get_state_data expects complete list of elements for a model for any get

[sbab...@gmail.com]

Hi,

The get_state_date function generated for a model expects entire list of state elements in a model even when the 'get' request is made for a specific container/list/leaf in a model. The function prototype is given below.


xmlDocPtr get_state_data (xmlDocPtr model, xmlDocPtr running, struct nc_err **err)


Is this an expectation of libnetconf?
Filtering of requested fields seems to be done by libnetconf. Please confirm.

Hi Babu,

yes, you are describing the libnetconf expectation. Filtering is done automatically by libnetconf after calling get_state_data() and merging status data together with the configuration data from the datastore.

Hi Radek,

It will always be very costly to provide all elements of a model for a single element GET in terms of memory and performance.

Is there any other way that only the corresponding element is GET for state data instead of full list?

Hi Babu,
I know, but currently it is not a simple change that I could do in libnetconf. I have plans for several essential changes inside the libnetconf which I'd like to implement during this year and this is actually one of the areas that will be changed. Currently there is no other way to provide status data.

Best regards,
Radek
