Due to the very positive customer feedback on our extended MSSQL performance monitoring article, I would like to briefly highlight this functionality. We have been implementing systems for MSSQL performance monitoring for a long time, offered either as a managed IT service, or on-premise depending on the requirements. Previously, we recorded and evaluated counters such…
Read MoreScenario A lot of people who have a NetEye monitoring system will set up a Wall Dashboard to display the status of their most important services and vital performance data. If these Dashboards are built using Grafana (in the ITOA menu in NetEye 4), you will encounter the problem that you will need to bypass…
Read MoreIn one of my previous posts I described how to create a customized NetEye 3 Tactical Monitoring Overview dashboard with Grafana and Telegraf. Here I’d like to show you how you can create a similar dashboard (much faster) for NetEye 4. The NetEye 4 Tactical Overview quickly provides basic information on the status of hosts, services…
Read MoreGrafana has become one of the most used modules of NetEye. As many of you know, it’s very easy to export and import individual Grafana dashboards using the existing export functionality via JSON. [1] Unfortunately, there is no quick and easy way to export all dashboards and data sources at once and then implement a…
Read MoreIf you’ve ever had cardinality problems with InfluxDB, you might have discovered that a tag is the likely culprit. Well done! But now your next step is getting rid of that tag, and that’s when you’ll realize that in a time series database, tags play an important role in indexing. Because dropping tags is rather complicated,…
Read MoreSo you have MSSQL databases and you’d like to keep an eye on the performance of your DB. Using NetEye this is quite easy. The tools you need are already available on your NetEye server: InfluxDB, the Telegraf agent, and Grafana for visualizing your Dashboards. The SQL Server Input Plugin provides metrics for your SQL…
Read MoreFrom this November 5th to 8th, more than 250 system engineers, developers, network engineers and IT managers met in Nuremberg, Germany to discuss the latest approaches to monitoring and observability. The four-day event comprised 3 tracks of expert presentations on November 6th and 7th, technical workshops on the 5th, and a full-day hackathon directly following…
Read MoreTelegraf is a plugin-driven agent for collecting metrics from various sources (based on the configured input plugins), preprocessing and aggregating them (based on configured processor and aggregator plugins), and forwarding them to the desired destinations (depending on the configured output plugins). Telegraf is used throughout NetEye to collect performance data, forward them to InfluxDB where…
Read MoreBefore making decisions it’s good practice to gather data. Important data, I should say. In this post I will propose how to use Telegraf to gather that data. Telegraf is open source software that allows you to gather raw data (metrics) from your configured plugins and then forward them to the destination of your choice…
Read MoreThe main objective for IT today is to guarantee high performance services and business continuity. To achieve these goals, you need to combine at least three fundamental aspects: the right analytical capacity to measure each relevant metric both at the application and at the infrastructural level; timely notifications to intervene quickly and preemptively; and finally,…

Read MoreEver since Version 3.8, Grafana and InfluxDB have been integrated into NetEye. This step was undertaken for many reasons. First of all, we wanted to give several metrics a nicer look; second, we wanted to make it possible for our customers to play around with their data, so they could start from predefined templates without…
Read MoreData collection is one of the key steps when you want to analyze the current state of your network, system or application in terms of performance. Data visualization is another: even the most sophisticated data collection cannot help you solve problems if it is visualized poorly. Nowadays a single visualization is often not enough since…
