See How Automation Can Dramatically Improve Monitoring Response Times
The days of static programming are coming to an end. Automation of network monitoring allows you to align your tools with dynamic network changes to increase operational efficiencies and create an adaptive monitoring environment. This automation capability, using REST and other protocols, creates a tight integration between automated data center provisioning systems (network management system (NMS), operational system support (OSS), or other orchestration system) and your existing tools (e.g., network monitoring, application monitoring, security analysis, etc.). Specifically, this solution allows the automated data center controller to send commands to an NPB to initiate various functions (e.g., apply filters, add connections to more tools, etc.) in response to external commands.
