The VNA plugin collects interfaces for inventory, but does not collect metrics for interfaces. The metrics you see in docs are related to SNMP.  We work with SD WAN monitoring (VNA/UCF plugins only)
so as classic VNA plugin configured the you won't se metrics. SNMP metrics are not part of the plugin.
