Blog: Layer 8 Lounge Recap: What DDI Metrics Actually Matter?   TL;DR The community wants alerts driven by a tight set of meaningful metrics, not wall-to-wall dashboards. Top pain points: log volume and cost, inconsistent JSON formats, and the lack of sensible, role-based default alerts. Capacity trends (queues, leases, range headroom) and DHCP “noisy talkers” surfaced as practical early warnings. See questions, answers, and open follow-ups below.  Key Findings  Alerts over dashboards: Day-to-day ops should rely on right-sized alerts; dashboards are for investigations and reviews.  Cut noise at the source: Logging is too verbose/variable; JSON needs normalization and tunable profiles.  Make “base alerts” turnkey: Ship sensible defaults by role (BAM/DNS/DHCP/edge) with global apply.  Watch capacity + chatter: Short-horizon trends and DHCP churn/noisy talkers are reliable early signals.  Operator vs. exec: Operators need thresholds/anomalies; leadership wants summarized health/utiliz

We are working on a script to read route tables and with some automatic enrichment and human validation, add missing IP Networks (as IP4Network/IP6Network objects) to Integrity. Since creating a network requires providing the parent IP Block ID, I am wondering what the ‘right’ way is to find the parent for a CIDR range that may or may not exist as an IP?Network already in the IPAM database.I have tried the following:filter=range:contains(“204.0.113.0/24”) - which errors (because ‘contains’ doesn’t work with CIDR)filter=range:contains(“204.0.113.0”) - where I just take the lowest IP in the CIDR range. This works but seems sub-optimal to me for some reason. Maybe because I can’t be sure if the block fits the entire CIDR, though that seems unlikely to be a real problem in practice.I have also tried various forms of range:le and range:ge but (as documented) they only match on the prefix length and protocol (determined based on whether the address is v4 or v6), and so is not useful in this

Integrity X Customer Webinar This session is designed to give you a first-hand look at how Integrity X is evolving to make DDI management more intuitive, automated, and resilient.Here are some of the highlights we’ll cover:A redesigned, accessible interface that makes DHCP, IP management, and DNS investigations easier than ever. Full automation through APIs — everything you can do in the UI, you can script. Smarter visibility with tagging, real-time metrics, and built-in dashboards. Simplified operations like database backup/restore and support bundle access directly from the UI. Join Christy G, Product Manager for Integrity, to get a highlight of whats new in Integrity X!
