snmpcollector VS smokeping_prober

SnmpCollector is a full-featured, open-source generic SNMP data collector with a web administration interface. Simplifies the configuration needed to get data from devices with snmp support to an influxdb backend. hombre_sabio adds, "It aims to simplify the alignment for collecting data from various sources [to] send the data to the InfluxDB backend."

SNMP is great when implemented by others and you just ask your poller to fetch what you need every 30s to 5 minutes. You can go faster with SNMP but, you're stretching it. The fastest Poller i worked with is this one: https://github.com/toni-moreno/snmpcollector

At least a demo can be done with snmpcollector + influxdb (+ Grafana?). I think it allows faster polling, however if I recall, the polling interval is always configured in the measurement template itself.

One solution I tested. However I have no clue how it compares performance-wise.

Check out the smokeping_prober. It generates high resolution histogram data that you can use to compare different paths.

I wrote this smokeping tool to monitor. I also use unpoller

I wrote this tool to monitor my ISP connectivity.

I am thinking this might be the exporter to use: https://github.com/SuperQ/smokeping_prober At the bottom of that page it says

I wrote a smokeping_prober for Prometheus.

For some stuff, I do end-to-end probin with a tool I wrote.

Smokeping Prober

I wrote a "better smokeping" tool that produces much more detailed data than IP SLA.

I wrote my own variation of smokeping. It currently only does ICMP and UDP probing, but I've thought about adding things like TCP, HTTP, DNS, etc.
