Introducing NMS Device Support Explorer
Ever wonder exactly what measurements Kentik NMS collects for a specific device model before you actually add it? Planning a rollout and need to verify support for your entire network inventory? Thinking of adding a new device model to your environment and wondering if we already support it?
We're excited to announce the new NMS Device Support Explorer, a powerful tool that gives you unprecedented transparency into Kentik’s monitoring capabilities. Know precisely what data you’ll get from every device in your network.
With the NMS Device Support Explorer, you can now:
- Instantly Verify Support: Search our entire library by Vendor, Model, or even the
SNMP sysOID
to confirm full support for your hardware. - See Every Measurement: Get a granular, model-specific list of every measurement we collect—from interface stats and CPU utilization to temperature, BGP peers, and more.
- Streamline Planning: Accelerate your onboarding and network expansions by planning with certainty, knowing exactly what types of data you'll have from day one.
This level of transparency into the NMS platform itself isn't just a feature; it's a reflection of our philosophy. The NMS Device Explorer is unique to Kentik and is only possible because of our state-of-the-art architecture and OpenConfig-inspired data modeling. We don't just show you your network's data—we give you unparalleled understanding of it.
