Prelude Collector
Stream operational data from any network device into your stack.
Prelude Collector is a vendor-agnostic network telemetry collector. It connects to network devices over gNMI, NETCONF, SNMP, and CLI, maps raw protocol data into structured models, applies transforms, and ships the result to your choice of backend — NATS, Prometheus, InfluxDB, Kafka, webhook, or file.
What you can do
- Stream telemetry from gNMI-capable routers and switches.
- Poll SNMP MIBs on legacy devices on a schedule you control.
- Run NETCONF RPCs or CLI commands when no API is available.
- Normalize multi-vendor data with built-in or custom transforms.
- Fan out the same collected data to multiple downstream systems in parallel.
- Manage the entire lifecycle from a REST API or a built-in web UI — no direct database access required.
