The networking industry has declared that SNMP is dead, but is it? Is streaming telemetry all we should focus on today, or is SNMP still useful even in modern networking? In this episode, Chris O'Brien, Product Manager at Kentik, joins us to talk about the reality of SNMP and streaming telemetry and his thoughts on where the industry is headed.

Chris spent 10 years as a network engineer starting by manning the phones in the support department at a wireless ISP, helping customers trace cables and restart their computers. His experience culminated with leading network engineering at a company with 750 locations. Chris has always been obsessed with network monitoring, so when an opportunity popped up to build network monitoring tools, he jumped at it. Since then, he's been working with network and development teams to build monitoring solutions and has been fortunate to release some of the most popular and innovative network monitoring tools in the world
