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

Features

  • SNMP polling health metrics: The default flow monitoring template now includes SNMP polling health measurements so you can monitor and tune SNMP polling.
  • Run only listed reports: A new monitoring-template option lets you run only explicitly selected reports instead of automatically including new ones.
  • Monitoring template UX improvements: Adds measurement filtering, bulk Select All/Deselect All, a new Interfaces measurement category, and read-only mode for preset/system templates.
  • Remote SNMP walk for flow-enrichment devices: Remote SNMP walk now also works for flow-enrichment devices using Universal Agent.
  • Flexible BGP MD5 passwords: BGP MD5 password validation now allows additional printable ASCII characters (;, #, @, ,), aligning with RFC 2385 and major vendors (CORE-432, ui-app #31203).
  • IS-IS neighbor navigation: Restores clickable hyperlinks to neighbor devices in IS-IS topology details for easier navigation between related devices.
  • iPower and Minuteman support: Adds SNMP monitoring profiles for iPower PDU and Minuteman RPM1581 PDU, including voltage, current, load, and environmental metrics.
  • Config snapshot soft-delete: Device configuration snapshots are now soft-deleted, preserving records for audit and recovery.

Bug Fixes

  • Syslog recency off-by-1000: Fixes a calculation error that caused devices with infrequent syslog to incorrectly appear as having no syslog data; the Syslog tab and indicator now reflect the intended two-week window.
  • Temperature unit display: Metric cards and tooltips now show °C instead of % for temperature.
  • Optic metrics display: Supply voltage and temperature now display reliably in the interface table by separating the queries.
  • BGP prefixes display: BGP sent/received prefix counts now display correctly for device neighbors by splitting the query.
  • Combined utilization plot: The SNMP interface utilization graph now scales to the data instead of a fixed 100%, fixing inaccurate 0% readings.
  • This/Last Month time ranges: Fixes off-by-one errors at month boundaries for "This Month" and "Last Month" ranges.
  • Overview Map health: Corrects inbound vs outbound health-class assignment in the Overview Map.
  • NMS usage metrics: Fixes device ID assignment for the NMS usage metric and removes stale BGP neighbor entries from the UI.
