Device Access Multi-protocol device access
Ask plain-English questions answered straight from your network devices — over SNMP, CLI, and gNMI, with nothing in between.
Connect Device Access and Sauble reaches your actual switches and routers directly — over SNMP, CLI, and gNMI, with no NMS or controller in between. It reads interface health, topology, the ARP table and live AI-fabric congestion, and can drop to raw protocol calls for anything else. Read-only by design: it can look at anything on the box and change nothing — devices are addressed by name, and secrets never leave the process.
What sauble.ai can do
10 capabilities, grouped by what you are trying to find out.
See what a device is doing
device_get_healthThe device's identity and uptime — description, name, and how long it has been up.device_get_interfacesEvery interface: operational up/down state and error counters — in/out errors and CRCs.Trace how it connects
device_get_neighborsLLDP neighbors — what is physically cabled to each port (best effort; richer over CLI).device_get_arp_macThe ARP table — which IP maps to which MAC address on the device.AI-fabric congestion, live
device_get_fabric_countersPer-interface AI-fabric health over gNMI — ECN/PFC/queue congestion and FEC/physical errors.Reach the device over raw SNMP, CLI & gNMI
device_snmp_getRead one SNMP OID directly.device_snmp_walkWalk an SNMP subtree — read-only and row-capped.device_cli_runRun one read-only CLI command — allowlist-checked and scrubbed for secrets.device_gnmi_getRead one gNMI path directly.device_gnmi_sampleSample a gNMI path for up to 30s — a bounded live SUBSCRIBE window.Plus list_devices — the devices in this environment and which transports (SNMP/CLI/gNMI) each one supports.

How Device Access organizes your data
The 5 things sauble.ai reads — and how they connect.
Environment
One connector serves one Sauble environment’s device inventory — nothing outside it is reachable.
Devices
Addressed by inventory name, never raw IP; each declares which transports it supports.
SNMP
OIDs and MIBs — device health, interface counters, LLDP neighbors and the ARP table.
CLI (SSH)
Allowlisted read-only commands with a vendor driver chosen from the device platform; output scrubbed.
gNMI
Model-driven paths — a point-in-time GET or a bounded live sample, including AI-fabric counters.
