Does Your Network Monitoring System Support Streaming Telemetry?
Are you frustrated that your current network monitoring solution still doesn't support streaming telemetry? Kentik supports both SNMP and streaming, so you can monitor any device in your network with no visibility gaps. We make it simple for you to modernize your visibility strategy and take advantage of what streaming telemetry has to offer.
Introducing Kentik NMS
Don't rely on a network monitoring platform designed twenty years ago for a networking landscape that just doesn't exist anymore. Kentik NMS was built to meet the needs of the way we do networking today. It's a solution built for the modern network and designed for modern network operations.
How to Configure Kentik NMS to Collect Custom SNMP Metrics
Out of the gate, NMS collects an impressive array of metrics and telemetry. But there will always be bits that need to be added. This brings me to the topic of today’s blog post: How to configure NMS to collect a custom SNMP metric.
Using Telegraf to Feed API JSON Data into Kentik NMS
While many wifi access points and SD-WAN controllers have a rich data set available via their APIs, most do not support exporting this data via SNMP or streaming telemetry. In this post, Justin Ryburn walks you through configuring Telegraf to feed API JSON data into Kentik NMS.

AI-Assisted Network Monitoring: Real or Hype?
Networking experts Chris O'Brien and Nina Bargisen join Capacity Media's Jack Allen to explore the evolving role of AI in network monitoring. They delve into historical applications of AI and machine learning in network observability, the integration of large language models for enhanced troubleshooting, and the significance of diverse data sources. The session includes a live demonstration of the AI-assisted query features of Kentik NMS (Network Monitoring System) and highlightings the advantages of streaming telemetry over SNMP. There's also an insightful Q&A session at the end.
Streaming Telemetry and SNMP Monitoring with Kentik NMS
Packet Pushers host Ethan Banks gets an overview of Kentik's new Network Monitoring System, Kentik NMS, from Chris O'Brien, Sr. Principal Product Manager at Kentik. Chris demonstrates key features including how Kentik NMS allows network engineers to take full advantage of streaming telemetry. Faster access to network device data using streaming telemetry over SNMP, ensures that NetOps professionals don't miss critical events that happen between traditional polling intervals.
How Hard Is It to Migrate to Streaming Telemetry?
Streaming telemetry is the future of network monitoring. Kentik NMS is a modern network observability solution that supports streaming telemetry as a primary monitoring mechanism, but it also works for engineers running SNMP on legacy devices they just can’t get rid of. This hybrid approach is necessary for network engineers managing networks in the real world, and it makes it easy to migrate from SNMP to a modern monitoring strategy built on streaming telemetry.
