Kentik is a network observability company whose SaaS platform (the Kentik Portal) unifies network flow records, BGP routing, SNMP and streaming telemetry, synthetic tests, and cloud VPC/flow logs into one analytics engine for network performance monitoring, capacity planning, DDoS detection and mitigation, cloud and container visibility, service-provider peering and OTT analytics, and AI-driven network intelligence. The Kentik V6 API is a gRPC-first platform with REST/JSON transcoding that exposes dozens of services — devices, sites, labels, users, alert policies, mitigations, synthetics, cloud export, notification channels, capacity plans, and an AI Advisor MCP server — authenticated with X-CH-Auth-Email plus X-CH-Auth-API-Token headers.
