Monitoring multiple network devices with New Relic
Blog post from New Relic
Leon Adato's blog post guides readers through the process of setting up and monitoring a network configuration involving three routers using New Relic's tools. The post details the configuration of routers named Spring, Summer, and Fall, explaining how they are connected in a triangular layout using the EIGRP routing protocol and a common switch to facilitate communication. The routers are configured via commands entered through a terminal emulator like PuTTY, and the post emphasizes noting differences in IP addresses and hostnames. The article further explains how to integrate these network devices with New Relic for monitoring purposes, including setting up the necessary software on a virtual machine, configuring the SNMP protocol, and validating the setup to ensure proper monitoring of network performance. Adato encourages readers to leverage New Relic's capabilities for enhanced network observability, offering practical advice for both beginners and experienced users, and invites them to join the New Relic community for additional support and resources.
