Monitoring D-Link Ethernet Switches with MetricFire

To integrate D-Link Ethernet Switches 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 alerting platform that provides a comprehensive solution for tracking and analyzing the performance of your network infrastructure. With MetricFire, you can monitor a wide range of devices, including D-Link Ethernet switches, to ensure that your network is running smoothly and efficiently.

Integrating MetricFire with D-Link Ethernet switches is a straightforward process that can be accomplished in just a few simple steps. Here's how to do it:

• To get started, you'll need to sign up for a MetricFire account. Simply go to the MetricFire website and click on the "Sign Up" button in the top right corner of the page. Follow the on-screen instructions to create your account.

• Next, you'll need to configure your D-Link Ethernet switches to send data to MetricFire. This can be done by setting up SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) on your switches.

• SNMP is a standard protocol that allows devices on your network to share information with each other. By enabling SNMP on your D-Link Ethernet switches, you can send data about the performance of your switches to MetricFire.

• To enable SNMP on your D-Link Ethernet switches, you must log in to the switch's web interface and configure the SNMP settings. Once you've configured SNMP, you'll need to set up an SNMP trap to send data to MetricFire.

• With SNMP configured on your D-Link Ethernet switches you're ready to set up data collection in MetricFire. MetricFire supports a wide range of data sources, including SNMP, which makes it easy to monitor the performance of your switches.

• To set up data collection in MetricFire, you'll need to create a new data source for your D-Link Ethernet switches. This can be done by navigating to the "Data Sources" page in your MetricFire account and clicking on the "New Data Source" button.

• From there, you'll need to select "SNMP" as the data source type and enter the IP address and SNMP community string for your D-Link Ethernet switches. Once you've entered this information, MetricFire will begin collecting data from your switches.

• Finally, with data collection set up in MetricFire, you can create dashboards and alerts to track the performance of your D-Link Ethernet switches. Dashboards allow you to visualize your data in real-time, while alerts can notify you when performance metrics fall below a certain threshold.

• To create a dashboard in MetricFire, you'll need to select the metrics you want to track and add them to a dashboard. You can then customize the dashboard to display your data in a way that makes sense for your organization.

• To create an alert in MetricFire, you'll need to set up a trigger that will notify you when performance metrics fall below a certain threshold. You can set up triggers for a wide range of metrics, including CPU usage, memory usage, and network traffic.

MetricFire provides an easy and effective way to monitor the performance of your D-Link Ethernet switches. By integrating with SNMP, MetricFire can collect and analyze data from your switches, providing you with the insights you need to keep your network running smoothly. With dashboards and alerts, you can stay on top of your network's performance and quickly identify any issues.

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.

Benefits of Using MetricFire:

• Simple, low-cost pricing
  A structured pricing model based on total unique time series metrics allows you to work within your budget. The predictability and transparent pricing allows you to keep your costs in check and plan for the future. 1 metric is 1 metric regardless of the source, or requests sent to and from the metric namespace.
