How to Use Time-Stamped Data to Reduce Network Downtime
Blog post from InfluxData
WideOpenWest, a telecommunications company founded in 1996, faced challenges in modernizing its network due to legacy systems and high costs. The company replaced its time series database with InfluxDB, which provides better observability and alerting capabilities. With InfluxDB, WideOpenWest can collect data from various sources, including cable modems, virtual machines, and containers, and stream it to Kafka for control and output management. The team uses Telegraf for data collection and Grafana for visualizations, enabling real-time analytics and alerts. By adopting InfluxDB, WideOpenWest aims to implement an Infrastructure-as-Code system, automate code promotions, and streamline monitoring across the organization.
