In many cases people use a variety of tools to monitor their network and the multitude of devices attached to it. One might provide availability checking for services like (HTTP, SMTP, POP3, etc.). Another might provide network data and yet another tool provide server performance graphs. Additionally syslog provides a different set of data points for administrators to pour through as they try to troubleshoot network problems.
Having a single view of the network and the systems on it helps reduce down time while making network operators more effective. In this session, we will share how to siphon through all the data to get to what is really important for viewing systems. We will discuss the importance of network modeling to provide the basis for understanding and monitoring your network. The discussion will also involve what aspects of the network can be collected and correlated into a single database.
The discussion will cover the basics of using Zenoss Core to collect data and view network. An explanation and demonstration will be given on how Zenoss can provide a workflow to manage network events, and provide a single view into all aspects of your infrastructure.
As IT infrastructure grows and becomes more complex, administrators are overwhelmed with data and fatigued by never-ending alarms. Attendees will learn how to reduce their management burden by having better insight into their network via Zenoss Core's comprehensive web interface and find out what makes Zenoss one of the fastest growing open source management tools.
