Are We In a Post-SNMP Era?

SNMP is still widely used in today's networks. But modern telemetry and network observability are bringing changes to network monitoring. Today's Heavy Networking is a roundtable discussion about alternatives to SNMP and real-world use cases for those alternatives. This episode was inspired by a request from listener Nikolay. He says… While telemetry (gRPC, etc.) is becoming more and more popular, there are very few real world use cases I could find, and I would like to hear more about real world deployments especially the amount of data people see generated by host (of course, that would vary based on what is being collected, how often, how many collectors etc.) Our roundtable participants are Roman Dodin, John Howard, Ryan Shaw, and Josh VanDeraa. All these folks have hands-on with modern telemetry and experience to share. We talk about network observability without SNMP, the building blocks to make that happen, use cases for streaming telemetry, storage and analysis considerations, and more.
