| Internet-Draft | NSF Monitoring Interface YANG Data Model | January 2022 |
| Jeong, et al. | Expires 1 August 2022 | [Page] |
This document proposes an information model and the corresponding YANG data model of an interface for monitoring Network Security Functions (NSFs) in the Interface to Network Security Functions (I2NSF) framework. If the monitoring of NSFs is performed with the NSF monitoring interface in a comprehensive way, it is possible to detect the indication of malicious activity, anomalous behavior, the potential sign of denial of service attacks, or system overload in a timely manner. This monitoring functionality is based on the monitoring information that is generated by NSFs. Thus, this document describes not only an information model for the NSF monitoring interface along with a YANG data diagram, but also the corresponding YANG data model.¶

According to [RFC8329], the interface provided by a Network Security Function (NSF) (e.g., Firewall, IPS, or Anti-DDoS function) to enable the collection of monitoring information is referred to as an I2NSF Monitoring Interface. This interface enables the sharing of vital data from the NSFs (e.g., events, records, and counters) to the NSF data collector through a variety of mechanisms (e.g., queries and notifications). The monitoring of NSF plays an important role in an overall security framework, if it is done in a timely and comprehensive way. The monitoring information generated by an NSF can be a good, early indication of anomalous behavior or malicious activity, such as denial of service attacks (DoS).¶
This document defines a comprehensive information model of an NSF monitoring interface that provides visibility into an NSF for the NSF data collector. Note that an NSF data collector is defined as an entity to collect NSF monitoring data from an NSF, such as Security Controller. It specifies the information and illustrates the methods that enable an NSF to provide the information required in order to be monitored in a scalable and efficient way via the NSF Monitoring Interface. The information model for the NSF monitoring interface presented in this document is complementary for the security policy provisioning functionality of the NSF-Facing Interface specified in [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-nsf-facing-interface-dm].¶
This document also defines a YANG [RFC7950] data model for the NSF monitoring interface, which is derived from the information model for the NSF monitoring interface.¶
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.¶
This document uses the terminology described in [RFC8329]. In addition, the following terms are defined in this document:¶
This document follows the guidelines of [RFC8407], uses the common YANG types defined in [RFC6991], and adopts the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342]. The meaning of the symbols in tree diagrams is defined in [RFC8340].¶
As mentioned earlier, monitoring plays a critical role in an overall security framework. The monitoring of the NSF provides very valuable information to an NSF data collector (e.g., Security Controller) in maintaining the provisioned security posture. Besides this, there are various other reasons to monitor the NSF as listed below:¶
In order to maintain a strong security posture, it is not only necessary to configure an NSF's security policies but also to continuously monitor the NSF by consuming acquirable and observable data. This enables security administrators to assess the state of the networks in a timely fashion. It is not possible to block all the internal and external threats based on static security posture. A more practical approach is supported by enabling dynamic security measures, for which continuous visibility is required. This document defines a set of monitoring elements and their scopes that can be acquired from an NSF and can be used as NSF monitoring data. In essence, this monitoring data can be leveraged to support constant visibility on multiple levels of granularity and can be consumed by the corresponding functions.¶
Three basic domains about the monitoring data originating from a system entity [RFC4949], i.e., an NSF, are highlighted in this document.¶
Every system entity creates information about some context with defined I2NSF monitoring data, and so every entity can be an I2NSF component. This information is intended to be consumed by other I2NSF components, which deals with NSF monitoring data in an automated fashion.¶
A system entity (e.g., NSF) first retains I2NSF monitoring data inside its own system before emitting the information to another I2NSF component (e.g., NSF Data Collector). The I2NSF monitoring information consist of I2NSF Event, I2NSF Record, and I2NSF Counter as follows:¶
The retention of I2NSF monitoring information may be affected by the importance of the data. The importance of the data could be context-dependent, where it may not just be based on the type of data, but may also depend on where it is deployed, e.g., a test lab and testbed. The local policy and configuration will dictate the policies and procedures to review, archive, or purge the collected monitoring data.¶
The I2NSF monitoring information retained on a system entity (e.g., NSF) may be delivered to a corresponding I2NSF User via an NSF data collector. The information consists of the aggregated records, typically in the form of log-files or databases. For the NSF Monitoring Interface to deliver the information to the NSF data collector, the NSF needs to accommodate standardized delivery protocols, such as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040]. The NSF data collector can forward the information to the I2NSF User through one of standardized delivery protocols. The interface for this delivery is out of the scope of this document.¶
A specific task of I2NSF User is to process I2NSF Policy Rules. The rules of a policy are composed of three clauses: Event, Condition, and Action clauses. In consequence, an I2NSF Event is specified to trigger the evaluation of the Condition clause of the I2NSF Policy Rule. Such an I2NSF Event is defined as an important occurrence at a particular time in the system being managed, and/or in the environment of the system being managed whose concept aligns well with the generic definition of Event from [RFC3877].¶
Another role of the I2NSF Event is to trigger a notification for monitoring the status of an NSF. A notification is defined in [RFC3877] as an unsolicited transmission of management information. System alarm (called alarm) is defined as a warning related to service degradation in system hardware in Section 6.1. System event (called alert) is defined as a warning about any changes of configuration, any access violation, the information of sessions and traffic flows in Section 6.2. Both an alarm and an alert are I2NSF Events that can be delivered as a notification. The model illustrated in this document introduces a complementary type of information that can be a conveyed notification.¶
In I2NSF monitoring, a notification is used to deliver either an event and a record via the I2NSF Monitoring Interface. The difference between the event and record is the timing by which the notifications are emitted. An event is emitted as soon as it happens in order to notify an NSF Data Collector of the problem that needs immediate attention. A record is not emitted immediately to the NSF Data Collector, and it can be emitted periodically to the NSF Data Collector every certain time interval.¶
It is important to note that an NSF Data Collector as a consumer (i.e., observer) of a notification assesses the importance of the notification rather than an NSF as a producer. The producer can include metadata in a notification that supports the observer in assessing its importance (e.g., severity).¶
An important aspect of monitoring information is the freshness of the information. From the perspective of security, it is important to notice the current status of the network. The I2NSF Monitoring Interface provides the means of sending monitored information from the NSFs to an NSF data collector in a timely manner. The method of acquiring the monitoring information can be performed from a client (i.e., NSF data collector) to a server (i.e., NSF) by unsolicited poll or solicited pull.¶
The solicited pull is a query-based method to obtain information from the NSF. In this method, the NSF will remain passive until the information is requested from the NSF data collector. Once a new request is accepted (with proper authentication), the NSF MUST update the information before sending it to the NSF data collector.¶
The unsolicited poll is a report-based method to obtain information from the NSF. The report-based method ensures the information can be delivered immediately without any requests. This method is used by the NSF to actively provide information to the NSF data collector. To receive the information, the NSF data collector subscribes to the NSF for the information.¶
These acquisition methods are used for different types of monitoring information. The information that has a high level of urgency (i.e., I2NSF Event) should be provided with the unsolicited poll method, while information that has a lower level of urgency (i.e., I2NSF Record and I2NSF Counter) can be provided with either the solicited pull method or unsolicited poll method.¶
As explained in the above section, there is a wealth of data available from the NSF that can be monitored. Firstly, there must be some general information with each monitoring message sent from an NSF that helps a consumer to identify meta data with that message, which are listed as below:¶
The extended information model is the specific monitoring data that covers the additional information associated with the detailed information of status and performance of the network and the NSF over the basic information model. The extended information combined with the basic information creates the monitoring information (i.e., I2NSF Event, Record, and Counter).¶
The extended monitoring information has characteristics for data collection setting as follows:¶

This section describes a YANG module of I2NSF NSF Monitoring. The data model provided in this document uses identities to be used to get information of the monitored of an NSF's monitoring data. Every identity used in the document gives information or status about the current situation of an NSF. This YANG module imports from [RFC6991], [RFC8343], and [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-nsf-facing-interface-dm], and makes references to [RFC0768][RFC0791] [RFC0792][RFC0793][RFC0854] [RFC1939][RFC0959][RFC4340] [RFC4443][RFC4960][RFC5321] [RFC5646] [RFC6242][RFC6265][RFC7230] [RFC7231][RFC8200] [RFC8641][RFC9051] [I-D.ietf-tcpm-rfc793bis] [IANA-HTTP-Status-Code] [IANA-Media-Types].¶

This section discusses the NETCONF event stream for I2NSF NSF Monitoring subscription. The YANG module in this document supports "ietf-subscribed-notifications" YANG module [RFC8639] for subscription. The reserved event stream name for this document is "I2NSF-Monitoring". The NETCONF Server (e.g., an NSF) MUST support "I2NSF-Monitoring" event stream for an NSF data collector (e.g., Security Controller). The "I2NSF-Monitoring" event stream contains all I2NSF events described in this document.¶
The following XML example shows the capabilities of the event streams generated by an NSF (e.g., "NETCONF" and "I2NSF-Monitoring" event streams) for the subscription of an NSF data collector. Refer to [RFC5277] for more detailed explanation of Event Streams. The XML examples in this document follow the line breaks as per [RFC8792].¶

This section shows XML examples of I2NSF NSF Monitoring data delivered via Monitoring Interface from an NSF. In order for the XML data to be used correctly, the prefix (i.e., the characters before the colon or 'nsfmi' in the example) in the content of the element that uses the "identityref" type (e.g., /i2nsf-event/i2nsf-system-detection-alarm/alarm-category/) in the YANG module described in this document MUST be the same as the namespace prefix (i.e., 'nsfmi' in the example) for urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-i2nsf-nsf- monitoring. Therefore, XML software MUST be chosen that makes the namespace prefix information available.¶
The following example shows an alarm triggered by Memory Usage of the server; note that this example XML file is delivered by an NSF to an NSF data collector:¶

The XML data above shows:¶
To get the I2NSF system interface counters information by query, NETCONF Client (e.g., NSF data collector) needs to initiate GET connection with NETCONF Server (e.g., NSF). The following XML file can be used to get the state data and filter the information.¶
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

This document requests IANA to register the following URI in the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]:¶
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-i2nsf-nsf-monitoring Registrant Contact: The IESG. XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.¶
This document requests IANA to register the following YANG module in the "YANG Module Names" registry [RFC7950][RFC8525]:¶
name: ietf-i2nsf-nsf-monitoring namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-i2nsf-nsf-monitoring prefix: nsfmi reference: RFC XXXX // RFC Ed.: replace XXXX with an actual RFC number and remove // this note.¶
The YANG module described in this document defines a schema for data that is designed to be accessed via network management protocols such as NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer, and the required secure transport is Secure Shell (SSH) [RFC6242]. The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS, and the required secure transport is TLS [RFC8446].¶
The NETCONF access control model [RFC8341] provides a means of restricting access to specific NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol operations and content.¶
All data nodes defined in the YANG module which can be created, modified and deleted (i.e., config true, which is the default) are considered sensitive as they all could potentially impact security monitoring and mitigation activities. Write operations (e.g., edit-config) applied to these data nodes without proper protection could result in missed alarms or incorrect alarms information being returned to the NSF data collector. There are threats that need to be considered and mitigated:¶
In addition, to defend against the DDoS attack caused by a lot of NSFs sending massive notifications to the NSF data collector, the rate limiting or similar mechanisms should be considered in both an NSF and NSF data collector, whether in advance or just in the process of DDoS attack.¶
All of the readable data nodes in this YANG module may be considered sensitive in some network environments. These data nodes represent information consistent with the logging commonly performed in network and security operations. They may reveal the specific configuration of a network; vulnerabilities in specific systems; and the deployed security controls and their relative efficacy in detecting or mitigating an attack. To an attacker, this information could inform how to (further) compromise the network, evade detection, or confirm whether they have been observed by the network operator.¶
Additionally, many of the data nodes in this YANG module such as containers "i2nsf-system-user-activity-log", "i2nsf-system-detection-event", and "i2nsf-nsf-detection-voip-volte" are privacy sensitive. They may describe specific or aggregate user activity to include associating user names with specific IP addresses; or users with specific network usage.¶
