Internship 2025-2026: R&D of a monitoring solution for a Microsoft Azure environment

SIMAC is a player in the Belgian ICT market with a focus on 3 domains: Integration, Datacenter & Connectivity Solutions and Business Monitoring Solutions. Our 170 employees are based in our offices in Heverlee and Lummen.

What you will do

The goal of this internship assignment is to investigate how a Microsoft Azure environment can be effectively monitored within the existing monitoring architecture. You will analyze available monitoring options for Azure resources and conduct research into how NetFlow data (or comparable flow data) can be collected, processed, and integrated. Based on this research, you will develop a proof-of-concept (POC) that demonstrates the feasibility and practical implementation of this monitoring approach.

The solution must align with the current monitoring landscape, which uses Broadcom DX NetOps as the central platform for network and infrastructure monitoring. The Mediation Manager is the primary integration point for custom device plugins and data ingestion. Kafka may be used in the future as a data distribution mechanism, while Grafana dashboards can support additional visualization requirements.
