Monitoring & Observability Architecture
How networking telemetry, server metrics, dashboards, and centralized logs interconnect to provide full observability.
1. Collection & SNMP
Periodically polls network switches, routers, and Linux servers for interface counters, CPU load, memory usage, and status.
2. Metric Storage
Ingests metrics from node and container exporters into an optimized time-series database with retention policies.
3. Visualization
Transforms raw time-series metrics into real-time visual dashboards, traffic graphs, and SLA reports.
4. Centralized Logging
Aggregates event logs across network equipment and server instances for rapid fault root-cause analysis.
Tools & Daily Workflow
Version control, command-line utilities, remote administration, and editor environment.
