Observium alternatives due to polling intervals

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/networking

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • checkmk

    Checkmk - Best-in-class infrastructure & application monitoring

  • We monitor ~3500 servers and network devices. Web: https://checkmk.com/

  • snmpcollector

    A full featured Generic SNMP data collector with Web Administration Interface for InfluxDB

  • 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.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • tools

  • Specifically for JunOS, I wrote a special config that limits the number of metrics and breaks things up to avoid slowness.

  • snmp_exporter

    SNMP Exporter for Prometheus

  • I also recommend reading this discussion thread for JunOS.

  • smokeping_prober

    Prometheus style smokeping

  • Oh, shameless plug for my smokeping prober tool. You can run continuous 1s pings and it will produce stats. Useful for end-to-end tests of network paths. IMO it's better than the original smokeping, because it sends a stream of pings, rather than bursts.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
