- What else?
ESxSNMP and TSDB
- ESnet's new SNMP data collection
- Why? Need for lossless collection of data
- TSDB:
- can be used for any time series data
- optimized for quick data access
- aggregation functions: min, max, sum, etc
- Pure python (for now)
- Open source, available very soon
- Hybrid approach: SQL for metadata, TSDB for time series data
