Hi
I know some people are 100% sure that there’s no replacement for SNMP.
For once Cisco and Juniper are on the same page
I sure like SW to support that push telemetry protocol

My Network Engineers are constantly asking if SW does any sort of telemetry. Currently, a couple of the engineers have setup a separate server which is running Open-NTI (I think), and they see details on data down to the second, or something like that. It would definitely be nice to see some indication we are going in that direction.
Now I can find use case to perfstack if that could take telemetry feed.
Really honestly, with Solarwinds' neglect of the changes in the networking industry (not unlike Cisco at this point) their ability to do the job is going to decline. App and cloud and the likes will probably survive but they can't even monitor modern switches very well anymore (heaven forbid try to monitor optic levels on QSFP28 100gig optics! HA). gpb is SOO much more scalable. And to be fair. Grafana is prettier. (I did upvote this though)
Nudge nudge. Dont fear change. Embrace it. I fell that if you dont want this feature, you havent poked at it. Scalability is the name of the game.
I would love to see this as a feature. All of the 9k Nexus and now Catos later images support either Netconf or GRPC. The biggest advantage for me would be not having the need for sub minute polling one thousand of interfaces thus overwhelming NPM. It'd allow for near real time collecting of stats and more flexibility for polling other devices and not to mention being highly scalable.
nudge nudge nudge
I believe integrating gRPC support into SolarWinds is essential, considering its undeniable efficiencies.
