Most engineers use Prometheus with the SNMP Exporter or Telegraf . These tools "poll" your Cisco hardware using SNMP OIDs.

Grafana connects to the database to display real-time metrics like bandwidth, CPU usage, and interface status. Key Benefits Monitor SNMP devices with Grafana, Telegraf and InfluxDB cisco-grafana-snmp

Prometheus or InfluxDB stores the polled data with a timestamp, allowing you to see trends over hours, days, or months. Most engineers use Prometheus with the SNMP Exporter

Monitoring Cisco devices with a combination of and SNMP is a widely adopted standard for gaining modern, visual insights into network performance. While Cisco devices have used SNMP for decades, Grafana transforms that "invisible" data into actionable dashboards. The Architecture: How It Works Key Benefits Monitor SNMP devices with Grafana, Telegraf

Grafana cannot pull SNMP data directly from your Cisco switches or routers. You need a middleman to "collect" the data and a database to "store" it.
