How I would automate monitoring DNS queries in basic Prometheus
https://github.com/prometheus/blackbox_exporter/blob/master/...
So you need 2 modules, one for each ip version. As for autamating setting these up, we deploy our Prometheus server with salt so we can use Jinja templating in all our Prometheus config files. That really cuts down on repeating boiler plate code.
This is also interesting for other reasons; in host downtime situations you can sometime see they will drop one type of traffic and not the other.

Is anyone using Grafana for your network monitoring?
Prometheus is a great way to go, however you need to invest time in writing all the alerts. This was a daunting task for us, because we have too many vendors and device types.. we instead went with zabbix, which is a free open source platform similar to Orion. Quite easy to setup. All the device templates for monitoring alerting are provided by the community. There is a grafana plugin which integrates with Zabbix, so you can build beautiful dashboards in grafana while using the polling and alerting logic in zabbix. You can also use grafana OnCall via a zabbix integration. Phase1: You could move to zabbix. Realize cost savings without investing time. Phase2: learn and work on moving things to Prometheus slowly. edit: added links and some rewording

Ascertaining how much traffic backups generate
Setup Zabbix (https://www.zabbix.com/) and use SNMP (search for a template for your switches, chances are someone has created one) to pull throughput data from the switchport your proxies are connected to. This will graph them for you on a continual basis, you can then setup some triggers (alerts) that will flag over-utilization (say >80Mbps) for you, can generate an email or SMS alert based on that or just see it in the dashboard.

Any good and free tool to test network connection health? (see description for details)
Look at setting up Zabbix (https://www.zabbix.com/) you can then do ping and latency tests to key hosts/endpoints and get packet loss and other variables in a graphical format. Also will allow you to setup monitoring to alert when there are known issues.
