## What it is and what it does

Genie Telemetry is a health status monitoring component for testbeds within the pyATS testing framework. It provides visibility into system state during test execution, allowing developers to track infrastructure health as part of their automated testing workflows. The package is part of Cisco's broader pyATS ecosystem, which specializes in data-driven, reusable testing designed for rapid development iterations.

The package depends on the genie runtime library and is designed for Linux and Mac environments. It integrates into the pyATS testing workflow to give developers monitoring capabilities alongside their test automation, helping identify infrastructure issues during test runs.

Use it for:

- Monitor testbed health during automated test execution to catch infrastructure failures early
- Track system status metrics across test suites in CI/CD pipelines using pyATS
- Diagnose test failures by correlating them with infrastructure health events
- Maintain visibility into network device and system state during large-scale test campaigns

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Genie Telemetry monitors testbed health status as part of the pyATS testing ecosystem, providing visibility into system state during test execution.

Yes, if you are already using pyATS for test automation and need testbed health monitoring. The low install friction, active maintenance, permissive license, and zero known vulnerabilities make it a safe addition to a pyATS workflow. Not relevant outside the pyATS ecosystem.

## Install

pip install genie-telemetry
uv add genie-telemetry
poetry add genie-telemetry

## Installing genie.telemetry

Before you install: Low install friction with a single runtime dependency (genie). Active maintenance with a release 7 days ago signals ongoing support.

License in practice: Apache 2.0 permissive license allows commercial and private use without restriction.

Quickstart:

pip install genie.telemetry

from genie.telemetry import ...
# Use telemetry monitoring within pyATS test framework

Linux or Mac system required; Windows not supported per documentation.

Verify before relying:

- Specific telemetry metrics and monitoring capabilities not detailed in excerpt
- Integration points with genie and pyATS framework beyond basic import
- Whether Python 3.4+ support claim in description reflects current version 26.7
