Monitoring OmniSwitch with MetricFire

To integrate OmniSwitch 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 versatile monitoring and observability platform that can integrate seamlessly with various networking devices, including OmniSwitch switches. OmniSwitch switches, manufactured by Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, are widely used in enterprise networks to provide reliable and scalable connectivity.

MetricFire offers multiple integration methods to monitor and analyze the performance of OmniSwitch switches, enabling you to gain valuable insights into your network infrastructure. Here are some ways in which MetricFire can integrate with OmniSwitch switches:

• SNMP Monitoring: OmniSwitch switches support the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), a widely adopted protocol for network device monitoring. MetricFire can leverage SNMP to collect relevant metrics from OmniSwitch switches, such as interface status, bandwidth utilization, error rates, and device health information. By configuring MetricFire to gather SNMP data from OmniSwitch switches, you can monitor the performance and availability of your network infrastructure.

• Log Monitoring: MetricFire can also ingest log data generated by OmniSwitch switches. Logs contain valuable information about switch events, configuration changes, and potential issues. By collecting and analyzing log messages, MetricFire enables you to identify anomalies, troubleshoot problems, and ensure the smooth operation of your network. MetricFire's log monitoring capabilities allow you to search, filter, and correlate log data, making it easier to understand switch behavior and diagnose any issues that arise.

• Flow Analysis: MetricFire supports integration with flow monitoring protocols like NetFlow and sFlow. These protocols provide detailed information about network traffic patterns, including source and destination IP addresses, ports, and protocol types. By analyzing flow data from OmniSwitch switches, MetricFire can help you identify bottlenecks, detect unusual traffic patterns, and optimize your network performance.

• Integration with Other Monitoring Tools: MetricFire offers integration capabilities with a wide range of monitoring tools and services. If you are already using specific monitoring solutions alongside your OmniSwitch switches, you can integrate them with MetricFire to consolidate your monitoring efforts. This allows you to have a unified view of your network and application performance, harnessing MetricFire's advanced analytics and visualization features.

By combining MetricFire's monitoring and observability platform with OmniSwitch switches, you can gain comprehensive visibility into your network infrastructure. Whether it's through SNMP monitoring, log analysis, flow monitoring, or integration with other monitoring tools, MetricFire empowers you to monitor and optimize the performance of your OmniSwitch switches, ensuring the reliability and efficiency of your network operations.

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.
  
• Easy-to-use dashboards
  Our Hosted Dashboards provide endless options for customizing your visualizations, and allow you to share dashboards with clients.
  
• Responsive alerting
  Receive alert notifications quickly through Email, PagerDuty, Slack, Microsoft Teams, OpsGenie, and custom webhooks.
