Building a Scalable Data Ingestion API with Python
In today’s era of monitoring and predictive analysis, having a flexible and scalable data ingestion system is crucial. In this post, we’ll guide you through creating a simple but powerful Scalable API using Python and Flask that can ingest custom metrics into an InfluxDB instance. This API is designed to accept any metric you define,…
Discovering Solutions with Tec4u: Practical Guides without the Noise
In the world of online guides, forums, and countless projects, one site stands out for its simplicity and focus: tec4u. This site was born from a frustration many of us know all too well: endless searches for answers, stumbling across misleading tips, and all too often facing responses that boil down to “RTFM” (Read The…
Extract SNMP and Syslog Data from InfluxDB
After setting up our tools for monitoring in the first series of our Machine Learning Project we have gathers a lot of data. The next step is to query InfluxDB for the relevant SNMP metrics and syslog events. We’ll use Python with the InfluxDB client to connect and extract data into Pandas DataFrames. Set Up…
Expanding Network Monitoring with Syslog and Zabbix Data
Part 5 of Our Network Monitoring Series Our SNMP-based monitoring system is up and running, collecting vital metrics on CPU, memory, and network activity. In this next step, we’ll enhance our insights by integrating additional data sources: syslog data for a richer view of system logs and events, and the Zabbix API for real-time alert…
Storing Network Monitoring Data in InfluxDB
Part 2 of Our Network Monitoring Series In our previous post, we built a Python script that scans a subnet for SNMP-enabled servers and identifies those that are actively responding. Now that we know which servers are SNMP-accessible, we’ll take the next step: collecting key metrics from these servers and storing them in a time-series…
Scanning Your Network for SNMP-Enabled Servers
Part 1 of Our Network Monitoring Series As our networks grow and demand increases, understanding the performance and state of our infrastructure becomes essential. In this series, we’ll walk through setting up a network monitoring system using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) that collects, processes, and visualizes critical data. In this first part, we’ll focus…
Setting Up MongoDB with Python for Data Import and API Access
MongoDB offers a flexible, scalable way to store complex datasets, and it pairs well with Python for quick data import and API development. In this guide, we’ll walk through setting up MongoDB, creating a Python script to fetch and store data, building a simple API, and then using PHP to access the data. This setup…
Streamlining IT Operations: Automating Tasks with Python and APIs
As IT environments grow more complex, so does the need for efficient management and streamlined operations. Automation has become essential for reducing repetitive tasks and ensuring consistency across systems. In this post, we’ll explore how to harness the power of Python and APIs to automate essential IT tasks, from server configuration to real-time monitoring and…
Setting Up High Availability NFS Storage with DRBD and Pacemaker
In environments where uptime is critical, having a High Availability (HA) Network File System (NFS) storage solution can make a huge difference. A HA NFS setup ensures that services remain online and data remains accessible, even if one node fails. In this post, we’ll guide you through creating an HA NFS storage solution using DRBD…
