InfluxDB for Network & Infrastructure Monitoring
Prevent downtime before it starts
Modern networks demand more than stitched-together logs and dashboards. InfluxDB ingests high‑resolution telemetry from every router, switch, and firewall without collapsing under the load. Get instant visibility into real-time conditions and the historical context to understand them.
Built for modern network operations
Collect millions of metrics per second at sub-second granularity from servers, switches, routers, cloud services, and applications.
Run milliseconds-fast queries on live or historical data. Perform the complex temporal analysis that network data demands, from pinpointing anomalies to correlating events across long time ranges.
Break down data silos. Consolidate telemetry and metrics from disparate systems to power live dashboards, anomaly detection, and automated alerts.
Scale economically, using efficient compression and storage to keep costs in check.
Ingest metrics via native connectors for SNMP, gNMI, Kafka, MQTT, and 300+ Telegraf plugins.
Proactive operations for always-on infrastructure
InfluxDB unifies real-time and historical network telemetry so operations teams can move from simple monitoring to proactive improvement. Detect anomalies early, automate responses, and keep critical infrastructure performing at scale.
Unified Monitoring for APIs and Integrations
MuleSoft built its Anypoint Platform™ on InfluxDB to deliver real-time monitoring and diagnostics across every API and integration. With InfluxDB as its core data infrastructure, MuleSoft provides customers with actionable visibility to identify and resolve issues quickly, turning time series into measurable business impact.
