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: 

  • Cloud Monitoring

What is NETGEAR gs308?

MetricFire is a cloud-based platform that offers monitoring and observability solutions to companies of all sizes. Netgear gs308 is a small gigabit switch that offers reliable network connectivity to small businesses and home offices. In this article, we will discuss how MetricFire integrates with Netgear gs308 to provide a comprehensive monitoring solution.

 

MetricFire offers a range of tools for monitoring and observability, including Grafana and Hosted Graphite. Hosted Graphite is a cloud-based service that allows you to monitor your infrastructure and applications.

  

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for network management and monitoring. To enable SNMP on Netgear gs308, follow these steps:

  • Connect to the switch using a web browser.
  • Log in with the administrator credentials.
  • Click on the “System” tab.
  • Click on the “SNMP” option.
  • Select the “Enable SNMP” checkbox.
  • Configure the SNMP community string and other SNMP settings.

 

Once SNMP is enabled on Netgear gs308, you can collect metrics from the switch. To do this, you will need to add a new SNMP target to your configuration file. Here’s an example configuration:

 

In this configuration, we’ve defined a new job called “netgear-switch” that collects metrics from the switch’s SNMP interface. We’ve also defined a target label called “instance” that we’ll use to identify the switch in Grafana.
