Monitoring & observability
Streaming telemetry
gNMI and model-driven telemetry for high-frequency metrics — complementing SNMP, not replacing it.

Capabilities
Capabilities
Every item is marked: verified production experience, or engineering capability.
Site power and batteries
ProvenBattery 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
ProvenPolling stays the baseline mechanism across most of the fleet — counters, availability and interface state.
- SNMP
- Zabbix
- LibreNMS
gNMI streaming telemetry
CapabilityStreaming telemetry replaces polling only where the sampling rate demands it — elsewhere the two complement each other.
- gNMI
- gnmic
- Telegraf
Flow analytics
CapabilityNetFlow/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
ProvenThe 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
CapabilityCapacity forecasting
CapabilityGrowth 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.
