Developers of a multi-platform open-source network management system - NetXMS - are invited to give a workshop. This will be divided into 2 parts: presentation (covers UX and requirements capture in case of a big amount of hardware) and implementation (covers software development issues).
They will also share their knowledge of hardware monitoring and data acquisition, of how to effectively support open source projects for more than 15 years, to create beneficial and easy development pipelines, to provide security in open-source solutions, to deploy in a different hardware variations and share their software development approaches and answer our questions as they are working in the same field.
First part might be of the most interest for beamline managers, beamline scientists and DESYer doing software development.
The second part is more related to software itself and might be beneficial for software engineers and IT related developers.
Speakers are professional IT project managers and software engineers.
They will cover topics of:
-
Monitoring of network devices, servers and applications from one management server
-
Data collection from SNMP-capable platforms
-
Configuration, administration and monitoring functions via multiplatform (Eclipse-based) and Web GUIs
-
Ability to send e-mails and SMS notifications or execute external programs as a reaction to any event
-
Organization of monitored objects into hierarchical structure to represent service dependencies
-
Centralized remote observability agent upgrades
-
OSI Layer 2 and Layer 3 IP topology automatic discovery
-
Portable client libraries
-
Flexible policy-based event processing (including correlation rules)
-
Remote access
-
Flexible access control configuration
-
Infrastructure usage (services, optimal usage of central IT capabilities)
-
Community/user needs and expectations, including ones that are not currently met
-
Built-in scripting engines for advanced automation and management
