Hi,

We are looking to replace our current Solar Winds monitoring system using ELK stack. In this regard i' am looking out for any reference articles on architecture

All out network infrastructure , Virtual machines are currently monitored using SNP by solarwinds. I understand we can use beats to capture SNP, but is this best way or any other recommendations.

Thanks,  
Pravyn

Logstash is the alternative to pull data from device using snmp

> **[SNMP input plugin | Logstash Reference \[7.10\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-snmp.html)**

Or receiving snmp traps from devices

> **[Snmptrap input plugin | Logstash Reference \[7.10\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-snmptrap.html)**

If the purpose is to moniror infrastructure (Servers, VM, Dockers, Pods ...), You can use metricbeats to pull metrics

> **[Metricbeat : Agent de transfert léger conçu pour les indicateurs | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/fr/beats/metricbeat)**
>
> Metricbeat se charge de transférer vers Elasticsearch ou vers Logstash les indicateurs et les statistiques provenant de vos systèmes et services (processeur, mémoire ou Redis, par exemple).
