Reminder: Zenoss Training Class at ApacheCon 2008 EU on

Zenoss community member Erik Abele will be doing a half day training session at ApacheCon EU 2008 on Monday April 7th at 9:30 a.m. called Monitoring 2.0 - Zenoss, the next level of IT Management.

His half-day training session will show you how to setup and effectively use Zenoss, an open source monitoring and IT management solution, to keep an eye on the health and performance of your infrastructure. Several hands-on lessons and in-depth discussions of the following topics will give you a firm understanding of Zenoss and its rich feature-set: setup and basic usage, availability monitoring, performance monitoring and graphing of device and host properties (filesystem and CPU usage, memory consumption, interface throughput etc.) as well as application-specific properties, advanced SNMP usage, report generation, inventory and event management as well as specialized plugins and other customizations. We will also recap and build on the examples shown in the tutorial session and work on graphing additional properties like e.g. JVM statistics or database connections. To make your Zenoss ride as smooth as possible we will end with walking through some general maintenance tasks and discussing several common pitfalls you might encounter.
