The following updates were released to the Kentik platform for Network Monitoring System (NMS) during February 2026.
Features
- NMS licensing: We have migrated all customers to device-based licensing for NMS. We will no longer be using Metrics-Per-Second as an NMS charge metric.
- Telemetry navigation: Device status indicators (Flow, SNMP, BGP, ST, Ping, Syslogs) now link directly to a device's Telemetry tab, with clearer downsampling filter labels.
- Guided Metrics Explorer: Added guided-mode dimension filters (Site Name, Device Name, Country) with override options to Metrics Explorer dashboard panels.
- Interface name consistency: Summary page queries now display Interface Name (ifDescr) by default to match the interfaces tab.
- Added Nokia support to Command Access: Added Nokia SR-OS Classic to supported platforms and clarified device filter labels.
- Bulk SSH credentials: Credential groups now load automatically in the Bulk Command Access dialog
- New device support (MIBs): Added monitoring support for Cisco products, Aruba wireless, HP networking, and VMware infrastructure via SNMP; plus Versa Networks device monitoring and Nokia BGP neighbor reporting.
Bug Fixes
- Bulk connection check: Fixed connection validation for bulk device operations.
- Flow-only devices: Flow-only and flow-enrichment-only devices no longer show incorrect NMS status indicators.
- ICMP devices: ICMP-only devices now retain correct SNMP and NMS status instead of being incorrectly overridden.
- Device Details status: Fixed NMS status showing as undefined on Device Details pages.
