SONiC NOS (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud) is an open-source network operating system that enables the community to innovate across network hardware and software layers. It provides scalable and high-performance networking solutions, making it an essential asset in the modern data centers and cloud environments.
To effectively monitor SONiC NOS, Netdata uses an openmetrics (Prometheus) exporter. This integration allows Netdata to ingest data from any Prometheus exporter, providing automated dashboards, customized alerts, and in-depth insights without necessitating a Prometheus server or Grafana.
With the SONiC Exporter, metrics are gathered by periodically sending HTTP requests, allowing you to maintain efficient network switch management and optimize performance.
Monitoring SONiC NOS is crucial for ensuring the integrity and performance of your network infrastructure. With effective monitoring, potential issues can be identified and addressed proactively, resulting in reduced downtime and enhanced service reliability.
Implementing SONiC NOS monitoring tools offers several advantages:
