REANNZ built TSX, a system that gives us accurate, long-term network performance metrics by abstracting away the continual changes to our network. It builds upon ideas found in the opensource Prometheus monitoring system.

In 2018, we coupled TSX to Prometheus in order to glean significant needles from our data haystack of sixty thousand metrics in near real-time. This has, for example, allowed us to proactively identify and replace ailing equipment before it fails, increasing the reliability of our network.

We will show TSX in action, how it has untangled our raw data store, and is now providing rich graphical reporting in both near-real-time and from our collection of over 5 years and nearly 2TB worth of recorded data.
