Monitoring Cisco 3800 ISR with MetricFire

To integrate Cisco 3800 ISR with MetricFire, please sign up for a free 14 day trial. We want to fully understand your requirements and monitoring goals, so we can advise you on how to obtain better visibility into your infrastructure. Please book a demo with us so we can show you how quick and easy it is to get meaningful data into your MetricFire account, and use that data to build custom dashboards and alerts.

Network monitoring solutions like MetricFire play a crucial role in ensuring the optimal performance and security of network infrastructure, including routers like the Cisco 3800 ISR. Below we'll walk through the features MetricFire has that enable successful integration with Cisco 3800 ISR:

• Data Collection: MetricFire collects data from the Cisco 3800 ISR through various methods, including SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), syslog, or NetFlow data. SNMP is commonly used for monitoring network devices, including routers, as it provides detailed information about device performance and status.

• Data Analysis: MetricFire analyzes the data it collects from the router. This could include monitoring CPU usage, memory utilization, network traffic, interface status, and other performance metrics. The analysis can help identify performance bottlenecks, network anomalies, or security threats.

• Alerting: MetricFire can generate alerts based on predefined thresholds or conditions. For example, it can send notifications if CPU usage exceeds a certain level or if network traffic spikes beyond acceptable limits. This helps network administrators proactively address issues.

• Visualization and Reporting: MetricFire often provides dashboards and reporting features, allowing administrators to visualize network performance data over time. Customizable reports can be generated for compliance, capacity planning, or troubleshooting purposes.

• Security Monitoring: In addition to performance monitoring, MetricFire can also integrate with security-related logs and events from the Cisco 3800 ISR. This helps in detecting and responding to security incidents and potential breaches.

The integration of MetricFire with a Cisco 3800 ISR can provide several benefits:

• Proactive Issue Resolution: By continuously monitoring the router's performance, MetricFire can help identify and address issues before they escalate, minimizing downtime.

• Optimization: Detailed performance data allows administrators to optimize network resources, ensuring efficient operation.

• Capacity Planning: Historical data and trends can assist in capacity planning, ensuring that the network infrastructure can handle future growth.

• Security: Integrating security logs and events can enhance the security posture of the network by detecting and responding to threats in real time.

• Visibility: Dashboards and reports provide visibility into network performance and security, facilitating informed decision-making.

MetricFire is a full-scale platform that provides infrastructure, system, and application monitoring using a suite of open-source tools. We will aggregate and store your data as time series metrics, which can be used to build custom dashboards and alerts. MetricFire takes away the burden of self-hosting your own monitoring solution, allowing you more time and freedom to work on your most important tasks.

MetricFire offers a complete ecosystem of end-to-end infrastructure monitoring, comprised of open-source Graphite and Grafana. MetricFire handles the aggregation, storage, and backups of your data, and offers alerting, team features, and API's for easy management of your monitoring environment. You can send server metrics using one of our agents, custom metrics from within your application code, and integration metrics from a variety of popular 3rd party services that we integrate with like Heroku, AWS, Azure, GCP, and many more!

Our Hosted Graphite product has improved upon standard Graphite to add data dimensionality, optimized storage, and offers additional tools and features that provide customers with a robust and well-rounded monitoring solution.
