When you design architecture to monitor your digital assets - either software applications or hardware devices, you need to use different strategies depending on your monitoring target. The factors you want to consider can vary including methods of retrieving monitoring data, frequency of data collection, and how you want to surface metrics and insight you find to stakeholders. In this article, we will mainly discuss how we can monitor your network SNMP devices using Hosted Graphite.

If you’re finding it a little difficult to sift through all the varying, often conflicting information surrounding the topic of network observability, you’re certainly not alone.

We’re excited to announce our beta launch of Kentik Kube, an industry-first solution that reveals how K8s traffic routes through an organization’s data center, cloud, and the internet. With this launch, Kentik can observe the entire network — on prem, in the cloud, on physical hardware or virtual machines, and anywhere in between.
