The following updates were released to the Kentik platform for Network Monitoring System (NMS) during April 2026.

Features

  • SNMP unification generally available: Unified SNMP device monitoring templates and flow enrichment are now available to all customers, with the feature flag removed.
  • SNMP polling health on Device Details: The Device Details telemetry tab now shows eight SNMP polling KPIs (agent status, OIDs/sec, polling health score, successful fetch %, retries, and timing) with time-range selection and auto-refresh.
  • Richer BGP neighbors table: The BGP neighbors table now shows remote device/interface and local interface as clickable links with graceful fallback.
  • More accurate query building: The NMS query builder now uses QueryColumn references for metrics and dimensions, improving sorting, filtering, and aggregation accuracy.
  • Updated device metadata: Added new device models and corrected enterprise mappings for device discovery.

Bug Fixes

  • Kentik Map fixes: Resolved a "getMaxDateRangeForQuery is not a function" error, restored the map right-click "View Device Details" menu, and fixed logical map topology errors.
  • Disable BGP via API: Setting BGP type to 'none' now clears the associated BGP device ID so the API request passes validation.
  • Accurate SNMP cost calculation: Corrected cost undercounting for kentik_agent SNMP collection by using the actual 60-second polling interval, with a tool to recalculate six months of historical costs.
  • Enforced device plan limits: Adding devices beyond a plan limit now correctly returns the expected error.
  • Topology accuracy: Removed spurious topology links from identical IPs and stale interface references for cleaner maps.
  • Correct interface health: Fixed a unit-conversion error that inflated interface utilization substantially, eliminating false health alerts.
  • API version fallback: ktranslate now falls back to an older site API version when the newer one is unavailable, keeping device enrichment working.
  • Editable NMS query widgets: Query widget settings (legend, tooltips, sparklines, layout, etc.) are now exposed for editing and persist correctly.
  • Chord chart hover: Kentik Map chord chart link hover now uses color swaps for clearer, faster visual feedback.
