Network Telemetry Monitoring for Modern Networks

Gain deeper visibility into network performance with gNMI-based telemetry from supported devices.

Improve operational awareness
Detect issues sooner
Scale with confidence

What is network telemetry?

Network telemetry is the continuous collection of operational data from network devices to provide deeper visibility into network performance, health, and behavior. Unlike traditional polling, which collects data at fixed intervals, network telemetry delivers more timely insights, helping IT teams monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize their networks more effectively.

Key benefits of network telemetry monitoring with OpManager

Gain granular performance insights with less overhead

Getting more insight shouldn't mean generating more monitoring traffic. OpManager's network telemetry monitoring helps you collect detailed operational data from supported devices, enabling better visibility while keeping monitoring overhead under control.

Track network performance changes with greater detail
Reduce the overhead associated with frequent polling
Scale monitoring efficiently across distributed environments

Enable continuous visibility with gNMI-based streaming telemetry

Performance issues don't always wait for the next polling cycle. With streaming telemetry, OpManager continuously receives operational data from supported devices, helping teams detect changes faster and maintain a clearer view of network health.

Monitor dynamic environments with greater confidence.
Identify issues sooner with continuous data collection.
Improve situational awareness across the network.

Turn telemetry data into smarter capacity decisions

Modern networks generate massive volumes of operational data. OpManager transforms telemetry insights into actionable trends, helping organizations optimize resources, plan for growth, and maintain reliable network performance.

Plan for growth without guesswork
Spot capacity constraints before they impact performance.
Make smarter scaling decisions backed by real data.

FAQs on network telemetry monitoring

Network telemetry monitoring is the process of continuously collecting operational data from network devices to gain deeper visibility into network performance, health, and resource utilization. Unlike traditional polling, telemetry provides a more continuous view of network activity.

SNMP relies on polling devices at scheduled intervals to collect monitoring data. Network telemetry continuously delivers operational data through telemetry subscriptions, providing more detailed and timely insights into network behavior. Many organizations use both approaches together to improve network visibility.

Network telemetry monitoring helps organizations identify performance issues faster, reduce visibility gaps, and gain better insight into network behavior. It also supports capacity planning, troubleshooting, and infrastructure optimization.

Traditional network monitoring relies on periodic polling to collect data at scheduled intervals. Network telemetry monitoring continuously receives operational data from supported devices, providing more detailed and timely insights into network performance.

gNMI-based telemetry is a method of collecting operational data from network devices using the gRPC Network Management Interface (gNMI). It enables monitoring tools to receive telemetry data from supported devices through telemetry subscriptions.

gNMI-based telemetry helps organizations collect detailed operational data, reduce the overhead associated with frequent polling, improve network visibility, and monitor growing environments more efficiently.

Streaming telemetry is a telemetry model where network devices continuously send operational data to a monitoring platform after a subscription is established. This enables more timely visibility into network performance and behavior.

Yes. Network telemetry monitoring provides historical and real-time operational insights that help organizations identify utilization trends, anticipate future resource requirements, and make informed infrastructure planning decisions.

OpManager supports network telemetry monitoring through gNMI-based telemetry for supported devices. It helps organizations collect operational data, gain deeper visibility into network performance, reduce monitoring overhead, and make data-driven capacity planning decisions.
