These exact systems run on the group's own infrastructure — the screenshots are processed before publication.

Flow analytics dashboard: total volume, the share of CDN/OTT and Georgian ISP traffic, and a category breakdown chart.

Where the traffic actually comes from — flow analytics

Flow records grouped into ASN categories: CDN/OTT, Georgian ISPs, the group's own networks and international transit. This is the picture that decides which cache to bring inside the network, where peering pays for itself and what stays on paid transit. It is the one screen published legible — everything in it is an aggregate share, with no customer and no address anywhere.

Flow dashboard: traffic per router over time and the top source and destination ASNs — the byte figures are blurred.

Who is actually sending the traffic — per ASN

The same flow data, this time with names on it: which CDN and which platform sends the most, where it lands and which router carries it. This list is what turns a peering or cache-placement conversation into an argument with evidence — Akamai, Fastly, Meta, Google. The volumes are blurred; the names and the proportions are not.

Capabilities

Capabilities

Every item is marked: verified production experience, or engineering capability.

Site power and batteries

Proven

Battery voltage, the mains feed and temperature on the same map as the traffic. A sagging voltage is visible before the outage — and it explains the share of night-time incidents that otherwise stays unexplained.

  • SNMP
  • Battery voltage
  • Temperature

SNMP polling at scale

Proven

Polling stays the baseline mechanism across most of the fleet — counters, availability and interface state.

  • SNMP
  • Zabbix
  • LibreNMS

gNMI streaming telemetry

Capability

Streaming telemetry replaces polling only where the sampling rate demands it — elsewhere the two complement each other.

  • gNMI
  • gnmic
  • Telegraf

Flow analytics

Capability

NetFlow/IPFIX/sFlow on ClickHouse for peering and traffic analysis.

  • Akvorado
  • ClickHouse
  • IPFIX

Grafana dashboards

Proven
  • Grafana
  • Prometheus
  • InfluxDB

Zabbix infrastructure monitoring

Proven
  • Zabbix
  • SNMP traps
  • Agents

Device inventory and port monitoring

Proven

The whole device fleet and its ports in one system — with autodiscovery, an availability map and ranked error counters, down to the GPON/EPON access layer.

  • LibreNMS
  • SNMP
  • GPON/EPON

SLO and error budgets

Capability

Capacity forecasting

Capability

Growth trends and saturation forecasting for links and storage.

FAQ

FAQ

Zabbix or Prometheus?

Both, for different jobs. Zabbix is strong for appliance and agent monitoring; Prometheus for dynamic, containerised environments. They frequently coexist under one Grafana.

How long is data retained?

Retention is designed against budget and requirement — high resolution short-term, aggregated data long-term.
