Cisco created a custom DevOps monitoring solution with InfluxDB as the core component to monitor their e-commerce application that tracks all Cisco Service Renewals.

Cisco created an application that monitors their internal SaaS solution providing real-time monitoring and alerting to their end users. They can now inform their users on the uptime, load, and availability of their SaaS solution. The solution is based on their metric stack, which comprises StatsD, InfluxDB and Grafana.

Cisco are the creators of Cisco NX-OS which is the industry’s most extensible, open, and programmable network operating system for data centers. Together, Cisco and InfluxData developed a new integration between Cisco NX-OS, InfluxDB and Telegraf. InfluxDB is the purpose-built time series platform with 300+ plugins. By integrating the entire TICK stack, network operators now have a single pane of glass to monitor their entire network, compute and storage infrastructure.
