I spent my professional life in various Textile Mills in India from 1957
till 2003 and retired as MD of a textile mill.
This blog of mine has; all my achievements and incidents of family
life and as a proud father, it gives me immense pleasures to record my son's
achievements in USA in his chosen professional path as'Fellow' at CISCO
where he invented many patents.
As'Chief Scientist' in CUMULUS Networks which was a Startup,
he thought and he planed his future as he saw his work at CUMULUS
had taken, a place in Networking and his decision to quit
CUMULUS was not accepted and his company a Startup "Stardust Enterprises"
got delayed a bit but is now in top gear.
He has now CEO of his owncompany "Stardust Systems" a firm in
NETWORKING Management,SF, USA.
The Textile Industry of the world has made tremendous in
roads in processing of fiber to fashion wearable designer fabrics
to industry needs and technical textiles. The developed countries
are in need of all sorts of textiles for use in defense needs.
Complete processing from fibers to processing including packing
and other needs of consumers have led to technology and innovation
to complete automation in every textile mills.
I am trying to find out how a textile industry of the future
will be and weather there will be "Networking Engineers" in these
Textile Mills.
SuzieQ
SuzieQ is the first open source, multi-vendor network observability
platform application. It is both a framework and an application using that
framework, that is focused on improving your understanding of your network.
We define observability as the ability of a system to answer either trivial
or complex questions that you pose as you go about operating your network.
How easily you can answer your questions is a measure of how good the system's
observability is. A good observable system goes well beyond what is normally
considered monitoring and alerting. SuzieQ is primarily meant for use by
network engineers and designers.
SuzieQ:
Gathers data using an agentless model using either SSH or REST API as the
transport. We gather data from routers, bridges and Linux servers.
We support gathering data from Arista EOS, Cisco's IOS, IOS-XE, and IOS-
XR platforms, Cisco's NXOS, Cumulus Linux, Juniper's Junos(QFX, EX, MX
and SRX platforms and Evolved OS), Palo Alto's Panos (version 8.0 or higher)
and SoNIC devices, besides Linux servers.
Normalizes the data into a vendor-agnostic format.
Stores all data in files using the popular big data format, Parquet.
Exposes via a CLI, GUI, a REST API, or via Python the analysis of
the data gathered using easy, intuitive commands. The output
can be rendered in various formats from plain text to JSON,
CSV and Markdown.
With the applications that we build on top of the framework we want
to demonstrate a different and more systematic approach to thinking
about networks. We want to show how useful it is to think of your
network holistically.
You can join the conversation via slack. Send email to Dinesh with
the email address to send the Slack invitation to.
We're also looking for collaborators to help us make SuzieQ a
truly useful multi-vendor, open source platform for observing all
aspects of networking. Please read the collaboration document for
ideas on how you can help.
