Monitoring ExtremeSwitching with MetricFire

To integrate ExtremeSwitching 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 observability platform that provides monitoring, alerting, and visualization solutions for modern infrastructure and applications. ExtremeSwitching is a line of network switches from Extreme Networks that offers high performance, scalability, and security. MetricFire integrates with ExtremeSwitching to provide visibility and insights into network performance and health.

MetricFire provides a unified view of the entire IT stack, including infrastructure, applications, and networks. With the integration of ExtremeSwitching, MetricFire can collect and analyze network performance metrics in real-time, enabling network engineers and IT teams to quickly identify and troubleshoot issues. MetricFire integrates with ExtremeSwitching using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), a standard protocol for managing and monitoring network devices.

To set up the integration, you will need to configure SNMP on your ExtremeSwitching devices and add them as data sources in MetricFire. MetricFire supports SNMP v2c and v3, so you can choose the version that best suits your security and performance requirements. Once the devices are added, MetricFire will collect network performance metrics, including bandwidth utilization, packet loss, and error rates.

MetricFire provides several pre-built dashboards that visualize the network metrics collected from ExtremeSwitching. These dashboards offer real-time insights into network health and performance, allowing you to quickly identify and troubleshoot issues. You can also create custom dashboards that combine network metrics with other infrastructure and application metrics to provide a holistic view of your IT environment.

MetricFire also provides alerting capabilities when network performance metrics exceed predefined thresholds. You can configure alerts based on specific metrics or combinations of metrics, and choose from a range of notification channels, including email, Slack, PagerDuty, and more.

MetricFire and ExtremeSwitching provide a powerful solution for monitoring and managing network performance. By collecting and analyzing real-time network metrics, MetricFire enables you to identify and troubleshoot issues quickly, reducing downtime and improving the overall health and performance of your network.

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.
