MetricFire is a comprehensive monitoring and observability platform that enables organizations to gain deep insights into the performance and health of their infrastructure, applications, and services. One of the key strengths of MetricFire is its ability to seamlessly integrate with various systems and devices, including the Cisco Catalyst IE3200 Rugged Series Switches.

The Cisco Catalyst IE3200 Rugged Series Switches are designed to operate in harsh and demanding environments, providing reliable and secure connectivity for industrial networks. These rugged switches offer advanced features such as industrial-grade design, high resiliency, and easy deployment, making them a popular choice for industrial applications.

MetricFire offers an agent-based approach to monitor network devices such as switches, routers, and firewalls. By installing the MetricFire agent on the Cisco Catalyst IE3200 Rugged Series Switches, organizations can gather important performance metrics and logs to gain visibility into the switch's operation and ensure its optimal functionality.

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.
