Is it possible to send network device data from Riverbed to Dynatrace?

[JonhBk201]

I would like to know if it is possible to send the data that Riverbed monitors from the network devices (metrics and logs) to Dynatrace without affecting latency.

On the other hand I see that there is no integration that allows to send the data directly from Riverbed to Dynatrace.

Do you know if there is any way to send this network device data (metrics and logs) without generating latency (or as little as possible) from Riverbed to Dynatrace?

Thank you very much in advance!

Hello @JonhBk201  what you can use for sure are the following extensions:

• https://www.dynatrace.com/hub/detail/snmp-generic/?query=snmp&filter=all
• https://www.dynatrace.com/hub/detail/snmp-traps-statistics/?query=snmp&filter=all

Here you have the Riverbed links:

Thanks for your reply. What I'm looking for is not for Dynatrace to do SNMP directly or to receive traps from the devices, but rather to reuse the data that Riverbed already collects from the network (metrics and logs) and send it to Dynatrace without duplicating collection or adding latency.

For example, if Riverbed is already collecting metrics via SNMP or NetFlow from switches and routers, is there any way to forward that data to Dynatrace without having Dynatrace poll the devices again?

Any more specific guidance in this direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all!

Understood @JonhBk201. It depends on the actual repository of your data. If you have the option to send data via a Webhook you can integrate it with Dynatrace. Or using OpenPipeline. All of this without querying the appliance, only your data repository. Look in the link for all the different data sources you can configure.
