Categories: Linux administration, Networking
A practical course for network and system Unix administrators. The SNMP protocol and its Linux implementation. Tools for qualitative (Nagios) and quantitative (Munin) monitoring.
During the course participants learn how to configure and use the network and server monitoring tools in a test environment consisting of Linux servers, Windows machines, managed switches and routers.
Duration
2 days
