Open Networking Enterprise Suite (ONES) is a Network Orchestration, Visibility, and Assurance solution for multi-vendor and multi-NOS operated Network Infrastructure. ONES provides a one-stop solution from delivering deep visibility into your datacenter networks to extending 24x7 support functions for SONiC. It also hosts a powerful analytics engine that assists users to identify network issues and troubleshoot their networks, in case of common network anomalies and disruptions.
ONES uses Auto-discovery for SONiC devices and a YAML or CSV-based template for adding non-SONiC devices during the onboarding process and continuously collects streaming telemetry data from them to provide insights on;
Data Center Inventory
Network State
Platform and System Health
Control and Data Plane resource Utilisation
Traffic Utilisation
Software Compliance
ONES monitors various control and data plane metrics to provide these insights.
ONESv2.0 application has the capability to trigger notifications via Slack app notifications when certain user-defined threshold values are breached.
In data centre operations, a rule engine with alerts for various metrics is essential for proactive monitoring and management of critical components and services. Rule Engine pushes the configured rule notification in case any device breaches the threshold value configured under the rule to SLACK Channel & Zendesk Support page.
Let's see the different types of rule engine alerts for specific metrics in a data centre environment
