To integrate Access Point Hardware and Prometheus with your monitoring system, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating Access Point Hardware and Prometheus and how that can support your monitoring system.
An Access Point (AP) can involve either a wired or wireless connection, which is why it is commonly referred to as a Wireless Access Point (WAP). It is a networking hardware device that allows other devices to connect to a wired network via Wi-Fi or wired connection.
One option for an AP is as a standalone device. In this case, the AP may have a wired connection to a router which then forwards data packets between computer networks.
In a wireless router, the AP can be an integral component of the router itself. It can be common for an AP that also acts as a switch, DHCP server, router and firewall. This is because it may also provide ports which are used to increase the network’s size, firewall capabilities and a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) service.
Prometheus an open-source systems monitoring and alerting software. It was originally built at SoundCloud in 2012, and now has a very active developer and user community. Prometheus records real-time metrics in a time series database. It is built using a http pull model and has a flexible query language (PromQL) with real-time alerting. The Prometheus server actively pulls (scrapes) metrics from applications it monitors. This is in contrast to other tools such as Graphite, which passively waits for the applications to push their metrics.
Prometheus is composed of multiple components, such as; The Prometheus Server, Client Libraries and Exporters, Push Gateway, Alertmanager, and various support tools. MetricFire's Hosted Prometheus is maintained, updated, and hosted for ultimate ease of use. Setup is convenient and quick, which addresses common issues found with integrating and maintaining open source Prometheus.
To integrate Access Point Hardware and Prometheus with your monitoring system, sign up for a free trial with MetricFire. Talk with the MetricFire team about how to integrate Access Point Hardware and Prometheus and get Access Point Hardware and Prometheus interacting with your MetricFire dashboards directly.
MetricFire is a full-scale platform that provides infrastructure, system, and application monitoring using a suite of open-source monitoring tools. We enable you to use Hosted Graphite and aesthetic custom dashboards to visualize your metrics so you can understand what is happening.
MetricFire offers users a complete ecosystem of end-to-end infrastructure monitoring, comprised of popular open-source monitoring software services: Graphite and popular dashboards. Plugins for many other open-source projects are preconfigured, such as StatsD, collectd, and Kubernetes. You get all these within a hosted environment as a single product. Not only does MetricFire fit well into the infrastructure monitoring use-case, such as network monitoring and server monitoring, but we also do application monitoring and business intelligence.
Through this hosted environment, MetricFire boosts the unique features of open-source projects to give you more functionality than the original products. Below are some of the MetricFire features at a glance:
The key thing to remember is that Hosted Graphite by MetricFire is more than just Graphite. Our Hosted Graphite product actually adds data dimensionality and better data storage.
The benefits of MetricFire are:
“We now have over ten times the amount of metrics we started with, and on different accounts. One of the great things about MetricFire is that scaling to support this increase has been hassle-free, requiring no additional work on our side.”
“Building and managing an on-premise installation at this scale would require a lot of engineer time, especially in the first year...we use this engineering time to work on initiatives closer to our core business”
“There’s complete transparency with everything MetricFire do which means we can accurately predict what we’ll be spending and comfortably keep within our budget.”
"Every time I have a question, I get an answer from support after just a couple of hours. Their technical knowledge is excellent.”
