This article lists configurations for your network infrastructure devices (routers, switches, etc.) to work with Kentik.

Note:

  • Before using these configurations, read the README at https://github.com/kentik/config-snippets.

  • Some repo directories also have vendor-specific READMEs providing important background information.

  • These directories may also list tested compatible platforms in the compatible-platforms.md file, when that platform’s compatibility has been confirmed in a Kentik production environment.
