Lately I’ve been receiving more and more inquiries about whether we can integrate OpenTelemetry into our NetEye system, and what the analysis would look like. For this reason, I’d like to use this article to briefly describe the range of features we offer with our NetEye Elastic APM solution. In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, ensuring…
Read MoreIn the context of IT management, migrating data between different environments can be a critical activity. GLPI is a widely used open-source platform for IT asset and help desk management. When transitioning from an on-premise instance to a cloud version (such as NE4 Cloud), the migration process can become extremely complex. This article analyzes a…
Read MoreWelcome to version 4.41 of our NetEye v4 Unified Monitoring Platform. Spring is just around the corner, and could there be a better time for a hike to the beautiful Lake of Valdurna (Durnholzer See)? Nestled deep in the Valle di Valdurna in Val Sarentino, this triangular alpine lake stretches 900 meters long and 350…

Key takeaways: A comprehensive asset management database must necessarily be fed both automatically and by hand. Of course, the more data you can import automatically, the more the manual activity can focus on improving coverage, on adding responsibilities, descriptions and other data that is not (yet) available digitally, and of course on cross-checking and improving…
Read MoreIn NetEye environments we use Tornado to collect events, elaborate on them, and send notifications based on them from a lot of sources (syslog, email, SNMP traps and so on). In this article I’d like to suggest a different use case: how to use Tornado to monitor your cron jobs. In our example we want…
Read MorePreamble:A use case from one of our clients required scanning several subnets to locate all the printers that should be imported into GLPI. Their infrastructure features a cloud-based NetEye Master and a Satellite within their farm. The connection between the master and the satellite is unidirectional – from the Satellite to the Master. With this…
Read MoreIn some test or development environments, you may need to simulate the presence of GSM modems without having an actual physical device. This can be useful for example when testing monitoring checks, SMS management systems, or creating new notification rules. In this post I’ll show you how I created a serial modem emulation service. The…
Read MoreOur older customers surely know that, in its earliest releases, NetEye 4 had no support for multitenancy. From a data perspective, there’s just one big bin we throw everything into to be used later. Then, a debate about multitenancy began. Here at Würth Phoenix we’ve discussed at length about the best way to segregate data…
Read MoreA customer recently asked me to monitor printer logs. His use case was to check which users were doing the printing, and what they were printing on the company’s printers, including their page numbers. The printers in question had SNMP available, but didn’t provide this particular information. In addition, the printers didn’t have an API…
Read MoreWelcome to version 4.40 of our NetEye v4 Unified Monitoring Platform. For this release, we’re taking you on a calming walk around Lake Dobbiaco, through a calm snowy winter landscape. The area is covered under a small layer of snow and the cloud-covered sky illuminates the scene softly. Just don’t forget to pack warm winter…
Read MoreNetApp® ONTAP® 9.6 and later versions include support for an expansive RESTful web services API. In comparison to an ONTAPI® application, the REST API offers a vastly simplified and workflow-driven user experience, allowing you to perform multiple operations on the storage objects with a single API. REST is the industry standard for API development, and…
Read MoreAs the digital arena evolves at lightning speed, so do the tactics of those seeking to breach it. Traditional security measures are no longer enough for today’s increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. The perimeter of technological infrastructure is no longer carved in stone – it shifts continuously, reflecting systems that are more distributed and challenging to…
Read MoreThis is that Time of the Year when you begin preparing all your SLA Reports to help you understand how your important services behaved during the year itself. It’s like the end of a horse race, when the bets are settled and you realize whether the bets you placed were right or not. And since…
Read MoreGLPI agents have various additional functionalities, from network discovery to remote inventory and ESX inventory. These can be controlled either directly from the command line (see my colleague’s blog https://www.neteye-blog.com/2024/07/glpi-device-discovery/ for some practical examples) or in a centralized way from the server, via the GLPI Inventory plugin (https://www.neteye-blog.com/2024/12/gui-based-glpi-network-inventory-setup-with-the-glpi-inventory-plugin/). There’s also another handy way to configure…
Read MoreNagVis, which in NetEye 4 is called the “Maps” Application, is a visualization add-on for the well-known network management system Nagios® and Icinga. NagVis can visualize monitoring status data as objects overlaid on maps to display them in different layouts: So in general, NagVis (Maps) is a presentation tool for information gathered in NetEye by…
