Integrating Cisco ASR with Splunk without Splunk Stream.
I would greatly appreciate insights and recommendations from those who have experience in this area. Additionally, I'm interested in hearing your opinions on the best tool for this task: nProbe or goflow? Your rationale behind your recommendation would be invaluable.

Sflow/netflow platform with ArubaOS-CX
All in one platform would be preferred, but Docker could sway me to something else. Meaning, I don't want to install a bunch of puzzle pieces to get up and running. GoFlow would be an example here.
- Linux Network Traffic Monitor
-
Netflow Monitoring Software Based on FLOSS
Cloudflare goflow / flow-pipeline
- Large scale flow collection
-
Monitoring 5,000 nodes
For example, for a lot of IDS work, you want to capture netflows if you can. This is something you could do with goflow. Then you can use whatever SIEM/flow analysis tools to figure out what is touching each network location.

Grafana agent JSON Schema
Hey, I would like to lint my agent config in vscode. Did someone know where I can find the agent config JSON schema ? I've searched on https://github.com/grafana/agent and https://grafana.com/docs/agent/latest/ but cant find anything like this ...

Grafana Agent can stream data back to you.

Distributed tracing with Envoy, Kuma, Grafana Agent, and Jaeger
At the time, Jaeger did not support OTEL format, which meant we needed our telemetry collector to export spans in Jaeger format. We were able to push this small fix to add a Jaeger exporter on the Agent.

Those of you using prometheus as part of your observability stack, what approach did you take to scaling to scrape 25+ clusters, and why? Is Thanos the answer to my problems?
Furthermore, would recommend Grafana Agent OR Prometheus Agent in this case since you probably don't need the Prometheus UI in each Cluster as well as the Alerting stuff that is inside Prometheus. (Mimir will do the ruling stuff for you). Grafana Agent also has an Operator mode if you want to use ServiceMonitor and PodMonitor CustomResources.

Prometheus Agent Mode, for Metric Forwarding
There were a bunch of alternatives to solve this before, like grafana agent [0], vm agent [1] or opentelemetry collector [2].

Shell script to monitor remote VPS?
This might be a reasonable use case for the Grafana Agent. It's basically a Prometheus instance, but without the local storage. Just forwards the data.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing goflow and agent you can also consider the following projects:
goflow2 - High performance sFlow/IPFIX/NetFlow Collector
vector - A high-performance observability data pipeline.
prometheus - The Prometheus monitoring system and time series database.
loki - Like Prometheus, but for logs.
vFlow - Enterprise Network Flow Collector (IPFIX, sFlow, Netflow)
PushProx - Proxy to allow Prometheus to scrape through NAT etc.
flow-pipeline - A set of tools and examples to run a flow-pipeline (sFlow, NetFlow)
operator - Kubernetes operator for Victoria Metrics
ElastiFlow - Network flow analytics (Netflow, sFlow and IPFIX) with the Elastic Stack
thanos - Highly available Prometheus setup with long term storage capabilities. A CNCF Incubating project.
helm-charts - Helm charts for VictoriaMetrics, VictoriaLogs and ecosystem
