Introduction

Panoptes is a Python based network telemetry ecosystem that implements discovery, enrichment and polling. Key features include:

• A modular design with well defined separation of concerns,
• Plugin architecture that enables the implementation of any telemetry collection, enrichment, or transformation,
• Horizontally scalable: supports clustering to add more capacity, and
• Network telemetry specific constructs like SNMP abstractions, built in counter to gauge conversion.

Architecture

Concepts

Panoptes is built on many primitives like sites, resources, metrics and enrichments which are collected through discovery and polling. Here is a document providing an overview of these concepts.
