4. Monitoring

For remote monitoring, the vRouter supports:

  • SNMP

  • Exporting KPIs to a time-series database for viewing system counters (CPU usage, IP statistics and many more). These are displayable via a graphical dashboard (for instance Grafana) for a very convenient remote view of the router health & status.

  • sFlow for statistical sampling on selected interfaces

4.1. SNMP

The following example shows a minimal SNMP setup:

border1> edit running
border1 running config# / vrf main snmp
border1 running snmp# static-info contact "noc@6wind.com"
border1 running snmp# static-info location "paris"
border1 running snmp# community local authorization read-only
border1 running snmp# community local source 127.0.0.1
border1 running snmp# community ems authorization read-only
border1 running snmp# community ems source 172.16.100.254
border1 running snmp# /
border1 running vrf main# commit

4.2. KPIs and dashboard

Here we will show how to export KPIs to a time-series database which can then be used with a graphical tool like Grafana.

border1> edit running
border1 running config# system kpi enabled true
border1 running config# vrf main kpi
border1 running kpi# interface ntfp1
border1 running kpi# interface ntfp2
border1 running kpi# interface ntfp3
border1 running kpi# telegraf influxdb-output url http://172.16.100.254:8086 database telegraf
border1 running kpi# /
border1 running config# commit
