This article provides configuration snippets for network infrastructure devices (routers, switches, etc.) to integrate with Kentik. Each section includes the recommended configuration type and a direct link to the full repository on GitHub.

Note: For all devices below, the recommended method is to configure the device to push flow via the Flow Proxy capability of Kentik’s Universal Agent.

Quick Tips

  • Read First: Review the primary README before applying any configurations.

  • Check Compatibility: Look for a compatible-platforms.md file in the specific vendor directory for any confirmed platforms that work with the Kentik production environment.

  • Vendor Notes: Many directories contain specific README.md files with essential background information.
