To integrate Cisco Catalyst 9500 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.
MetricFire is a cloud-based monitoring and observability platform that provides real-time insights into the performance and health of your IT infrastructure. We offer the Cisco Catalyst 9500 switch integration, which is a high-performance, modular switch designed for enterprise networks.
The MetricFire integration with Cisco Catalyst 9500 provides a seamless way to monitor the performance of your switch and the devices connected to it. With this integration, you can easily monitor network traffic, analyze performance metrics, and receive alerts when issues arise.
To set up the integration, you will need to follow a few simple steps:
Enable SNMP on the Cisco Catalyst 9500 switch: SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for network management and monitoring. To enable SNMP on the switch, you will need to log in to the device and configure the SNMP settings.
Configure the MetricFire integration: Once SNMP is enabled on the switch, you can configure the integration with MetricFire. To do this, you will need to log in to your MetricFire account, navigate to the integrations page, and select the Cisco Catalyst 9500 integration. You will then need to enter the SNMP community string and the IP address of the switch.
View metrics and set up alerts: Once the integration is configured, you can view metrics related to the performance of the switch and the devices connected to it. These metrics include interface traffic, CPU usage, and memory usage. You can also set up alerts to notify you when certain thresholds are met, such as high CPU usage or low available memory.
Our integration with Cisco Catalyst 9500 provides a powerful tool for monitoring the performance and health of your enterprise network. By providing real-time insights into network traffic and device performance, this integration helps you identify and resolve issues quickly, minimizing downtime and maximizing the efficiency of your network.
You can easily get insights from your Cisco devices with the Telegraf plugin by downloading a custom telegraf config in your Hosted Graphite account if you navigate to Agents => Telegraf. Then install telegraf using the steps outlined in our docs, and replace the default config with the custom config at the path that telegraf is installed at.
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.
“We now have over ten times the amount of metrics we started with, and on different accounts. One of the great things about MetricFire is that scaling to support this increase has been hassle-free, requiring no additional work on our side.”
“Building and managing an on-premise installation at this scale would require a lot of engineer time, especially in the first year...we use this engineering time to work on initiatives closer to our core business”
“There’s complete transparency with everything MetricFire do which means we can accurately predict what we’ll be spending and comfortably keep within our budget.”
"Every time I have a question, I get an answer from support after just a couple of hours. Their technical knowledge is excellent.”
