With this train of thought you can argue that the network is part of something bigger than just the network itself. IMHO organizations will already have something in place for analytics/alerting which are not a “side-project” of a, in this case, network solution. e.g. in our case we would also want to see the application landscape in that same view of the network. And that’s currently one of the many reasons we do not look at analytics: it is another place to look at stuff. We would want something that, at the least, can be displayed by a grafana dashboard together with all the other graphs. e.g. since everything else is in a graphite cluster we are parsing output of dropstats and the introspect into graphite just to get everything in one place. Which is not exactly optimal but it is very convenient to have graphs of a year back without: - looking at another system - dealing with access rights in contrail to get everyone view access (e.g. grafana makes read only access for everyone very easy) - cassandra database explosion and other analytics (scaling) issues So what I would like to see is some easy integration with the best tools for the jobs already out there. Just to name a few things many companies are using anyway: collectd metrics collectors / graphite protocol / SNMP those kinds of things. As long as metrics/monitoring solution X is easily integrated I would be happy. Cheers, Robert van Leeuwen
