    By 2030, Our Monitoring System Decided We Weren’t Needed Anymore

    Six years ago, it was just a humble monitoring project. We wrote a few scripts, set up agents, and proudly collected CPU and RAM metrics. But by 2030, that “simple system” has evolved into something far beyond what we ever imagined—or intended. Somewhere along the way, it decided it didn’t need us anymore. Spoiler alert:…

  • Building a Secure, Configurable, and Scalable Monitoring API

    Building a Secure, Configurable, and Scalable Monitoring API

    In a world where infrastructure monitoring is vital, having a flexible and secure way to collect and process custom data is essential. In this blog post, we’ll take you through building an API that not only allows for dynamic field configurations but also includes robust security with API keys tied to specific servers. We’ll walk…

  • Extract SNMP and Syslog Data from InfluxDB

    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…

  • Transforming Network Data into Predictive Insights with Machine Learning

    Transforming Network Data into Predictive Insights with Machine Learning

    In a world where network uptime and performance are crucial, proactively monitoring network health is only the first step. By tapping into the wealth of data gathered from SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) metrics and syslog messages, we can uncover valuable patterns and predict potential issues before they occur. This post explains how we leverage…

  • Optimizing SNMP Monitoring with Dynamic Alerts and Anomaly Detection

    Optimizing SNMP Monitoring with Dynamic Alerts and Anomaly Detection

    Part 4 of Our Network Monitoring Series In our previous posts, we set up a network monitoring system that uses SNMP to collect data, InfluxDB to store metrics, and Grafana to visualize them. Now that we have a baseline, it’s time to make our system smarter and more proactive. By implementing dynamic thresholds, simple anomaly…

  • Scanning Your Network for SNMP-Enabled Servers

    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…
