Add errors to signal errors in underlying devices #25

Open avtobiff opened 10 months ago

avtobiff commented 10 months ago

There are no good errors to use when a Network Management System (NMS) has an issue with an underlying device.

Suggest investigating and defining this area.

Example

error-tag: bad-gateway
error-type: application, protocol
error-severety: error
error-tag: device-error
protocol: application, protocol
error-severity: error

For RESTCONF the HTTP status code be used to further convey the origin of the error. See netconf-wg/restconf-next#14
