A network team enables a telemetry subscription toward a host that cannot decode the YANG model or encoding in use. Publications leave the router but nothing useful is stored. Which consumption consideration was missed?

Short Explanation
Sending a foreign-language radio bulletin to a desk with no receiver is wasted airtime. Consumption means the collector must actually accept, decode, and use the stream.
Full Explanation
Publishing is useless if nothing can consume the stream. When a network team enables a telemetry subscription toward a host that cannot decode the YANG model or encoding in use, publications may leave the civic router while nothing useful is stored. The missed consumption consideration is whether the collector can accept, decode, and use the subscribed stream—encoding (for example GPB/KV), transport, and model awareness must match.
Whether the device supports SNMP INFORM as a substitute for all YANG streams misses the point: INFORM does not fix an incompatible MDT collector. Whether every leaf is rewritten into CLI show-run text before transport invents a non-requirement and destroys model-driven value. Whether Grafana is installed directly on the IOS XE supervisor CPU is not a consumption prerequisite and is operationally inappropriate.
Exam caveat: dial-out success (TCP up) is not the same as decode success; monitor collector error logs for schema/encoding mismatches. Align IOS XE model versions with collector expectations.
Operational check: validate a known-good subscription path in staging, confirm the collector stores decoded interface metrics, and reject receiver IPs that only open a port without a YANG-capable pipeline.
