Proactive Network Monitoring and Self-Remediation

The podcast discusses the significance of employing telemetry to enhance network monitoring and proactively identify issues before they escalate. By continuously monitoring events like port status changes and fiber light levels, network teams can avoid customer disruptions and quickly address potential failures. Modern telemetry solutions can go beyond traditional SNMP traps, providing enriched data to facilitate automated responses, such as restarting malfunctioning ports or resolving anomalies. This proactive approach not only improves network reliability but also minimizes the workload for engineers by automating routine fixes.
