The thing you do afterwords is not obvious:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:NCS540-02#run m2mcon

Enter 'help' or '?' for help
m2mcon> get RootOper.Interfaces.Interface({'InterfaceName': 'TenGigE0/0/0/23'})

Getting Sample Telemetry

Nobody knows it but you can get a sample telemetry output using CLI commands in IOS XR. Use run mdt_exec then specify a sensor path with -s key and define interval with -c key.

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios# run mdt_exec -s Cisco-IOS-XR-ipv4-bgp-oper:bgp/instances/instance/instance-active/default-vrf/neighbors/neighbor -c 10000
