OpenROADM (Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer) devices are integral components of optical transport networks, enabling data to traverse long distances with high fidelity. These devices ensure efficient utilization of optical bandwidth and support the dynamic reconfiguration of network paths, making them critical for modern, adaptable network infrastructure.
To monitor OpenROADM devices, Netdata employs an openmetrics (Prometheus) exporter, providing a seamless integration process. Netdata supports data ingestion from any Prometheus exporter, which provides automated dashboards, alerts, and more - all without needing a dedicated Prometheus server or Grafana instance. This makes Netdata an excellent $name monitoring tool as it streamlines the network performance monitoring process, giving you insights in real-time.
