Hi all

I could not find configuration for EOS about Telegraf's IP address and Listen port.
So how EOS know where to send stream?

Hello, EOS runs a gNMI server.
Telegraf runs a gNMI client.
No need to configure the clients IP addresses in a server, so, no need to configure Telegraf IP address in EOS.
We configure EOS devices IP addresses in Telegraf conf file.
Telegraf sends a subscribtion request to EOS which is a TCP communication.
