Z·01Network Monitoring
Zilk NMS Pro
See every device. Stop every outage.
A unified, AI-augmented network monitoring platform that replaces your legacy NMS, your syslog collector, and your AIOps add-on with one self-hostable stack. Multi-protocol polling, live streaming dashboards, ML anomaly detection, and compliance automation — with your data staying in your data center.
Who it’s for: Network operations teams replacing a legacy NMS, syslog collector, and AIOps add-on with one self-hostable stack — data staying in their own data center.

Capabilities
What Zilk NMS Pro does
Multi-protocol collection
Polls devices over SNMP v2c/v3, ICMP, and SSH CLI and receives SNMP traps and syslog — no proprietary agents to install.
Live streaming dashboards
Real-time WebSocket dashboards with health heatmaps, topology maps, and per-device streaming charts built on Apache ECharts.
ML anomaly detection
Learns a rolling behavioral baseline per metric and flags statistical deviations, correlating related anomalies into single incidents to cut alert noise.
Browser-based SSH terminal
Fully audit-logged, multi-vendor terminal access using credentials stored in an encrypted vault, so operators never re-enter passwords.
Configuration management
Scheduled config backups over SSH with line-level diffs, change-detection alerts, one-click rollback, and pattern-based compliance policies.
Compliance automation
Automated NIST 800-53, ISO 27001:2022, and SOC 2 Type II assessments with evidence collection and gap analysis.
Alerting & notifications
Custom threshold rules with severity, cooldowns, and delivery to email, Slack, Telegram, generic webhooks, and SIEM systems.
Topology & discovery
Subnet scanning for automated device onboarding plus LLDP/CDP-based auto-discovery of live layer-2/3 topology maps.
Use cases
Where teams put Zilk NMS Pro to work
- 01
A NOC team consolidates monitoring, syslog, and AIOps tooling into one self-hosted platform while keeping all telemetry inside their own data center.
- 02
An enterprise running Cisco, Fortinet, Juniper, Aruba, and Palo Alto gear monitors and troubleshoots every vendor from a single console.
- 03
A managed service provider scales from a small lab to hundreds of thousands of customer devices using Docker Compose and Kubernetes with horizontal pollers.
- 04
A compliance-driven organization produces NIST, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 evidence and gap reports on demand instead of manual audit prep.
- 05
A network team schedules nightly config backups across all border routers and gets alerted the moment an unexpected configuration change appears.

Why Zilk
Why Zilk NMS Pro
Self-hostable and air-gap capable — your monitoring data and credentials never leave your infrastructure, unlike cloud-only SaaS monitoring.
Combines classic multi-protocol monitoring, configuration management, and ML-driven AIOps in a single stack instead of stitching together separate tools.
Anomaly detection is transparent statistics engineers can verify, not an opaque black box.
Purpose-built time-series architecture scales toward millions of devices where general-purpose web-app databases stall at a few thousand.
Part of our Networking & Infrastructure practice
Zilk NMS Pro is built and supported by the same engineers who deliver our 21 Networking & Infrastructure services — design, deployment, and day-2 operations included.
The story
From discovery to compliance — five screens
Keep scrolling — the dashboard follows the story.
01 · Dashboard
See every device. Stop every outage.
Every device, its state, and the active alerts on one always-current pane — bandwidth overview, top CPU consumers, recent activity.
02 · Devices
Multi-protocol collection, no agents
SNMP v2c/v3, ICMP, SSH CLI, and traps bring every vendor in — Cisco, Fortinet, Juniper and more — with no proprietary agents required.
03 · Anomalies
ML alerting that knows what normal looks like
Anomaly detection builds 14-day behavioral baselines and correlates cascade failures, so you chase root causes instead of symptom storms.
04 · Terminal
A live SSH terminal, in the browser
Encrypted-credential access to Cisco, Fortinet, Juniper, Aruba, and Palo Alto — right where you monitor, not in a separate tool.
05 · Compliance
Compliance automation, not spreadsheets
Configuration management and automated compliance checks keep the estate audit-ready — with your data staying in your data center.
