3. Open Source Contribution

In the future, we can expect to see more organizations investing in zero trust principles.

Since the moment when networks needed to be monitored, this direction has been driven forward by the contributions of Open Source - both in terms of technology and in terms of the community's ability to act collectively.

From a technology perspective, there is no better example than SNMP, a community-driven, standards-based protocol for network management. Monitoring has relied on SNMP since the beginning, and we have yet to see another standard emerge that has the support or capabilities of SNMP. However, open source projects like OpenConfig/gNMI and OpenTelemetry have recently emerged that approach monitoring in new and interesting ways. Ultimately, the technologies that make the most sense will gain mainstream support and usage, leading to them becoming the next standards and frameworks.

Another side of Open Source is the georgia mobile database aspect. Building network monitoring solutions requires the ability to test on all possible hardware, devices, and configurations – a kind of laboratory. The role of the open source community is invaluable here. No company can ever do this alone; the community is the laboratory. Community participation in making changes, creating new code, and providing feedback is essential. Without it, testing things under thousands of different deployments and scenarios or configurations would be impossible.

Open Source will be absolutely essential for network monitoring in the future.

4. Developments in the field of real-time monitoring
A long-standing goal of network monitoring is to reduce or eliminate latency—the time between when a device or system generates data and when a monitoring tool receives and processes it. This is increasingly important for infrastructure, services, and applications located at remote sites in large, distributed networks. (For example, IoT sensors on drilling platforms in the middle of the ocean.) These are difficult, if not impossible, to reach and monitor from a central location such as a data center or cloud. It is likely that the industry will continue to develop technical advances that allow monitoring mechanics and capabilities to be deployed virtually anywhere, while keeping the monitoring logic, configuration, and administration centralized for ease of management.
