Case Study: Major Cable Providing Company achieves hands-off infrastructure monitoring automation with Circonus

Circonus in Infrastructure Automation

Major Cable Providing Company, a large cable provider, needed a way to manage monitoring configurations for a constantly changing infrastructure without relying on manual setup. Using Circonus machine data intelligence and its API-driven monitoring platform, the company sought a more automated approach to handling checks, graphs, alerts, and other monitoring objects across dynamic hosts and environments.

Circonus solved this by enabling infrastructure-as-code workflows with Puppet, using REST APIs, template-driven JSON configs, and an orchestration script to automatically create and configure check bundles for both push and pull metrics. The result was a hands-off monitoring setup that could keep pace with new hosts and short-lived systems as they appeared, reducing manual effort and making Circonus configuration management scalable and repeatable.
