Hi there,

If you want to monitor the traffic of the router you can check whether the router supports flow. In this way, you can use one of our flow receiver Sensors (e.g our sflow Sensor). If flow is not supported, you can also use our Packet Sniffer Sensor. This Sensor monitors the traffic which is received by the Probe where the Sensor is added. Therefore, you need to mirror all traffic to one port which forwards the traffic to your probe.

However, if you want to monitor another metrics on your router, you need to check whether the router has some type of API. In this case, you can write a custom script and use it in our EXE/Script Sensor. If the router supports a REST API, you can also use our REST Custom Sensor.
