Case Study
Full Network Observability in Docker
Built a laptop-ready Docker lab that simulates SNMP and syslog traffic, so engineers can learn and validate network observability without physical hardware.

The Problem
Most tutorials for New Relic Network Performance Monitoring assume you have physical network devices sitting around. Routers, switches, something that speaks SNMP. Most engineers don't. So they skip NPM entirely, or never get hands-on experience before they need it in production.
What I Built
A fully containerized NPM demo environment using Docker. Two custom simulator images that generate real SNMP traps and syslog traffic without any physical hardware. Everything needed to explore New Relic NPM end-to-end, on a laptop, without touching a single physical device.
