Training Sessions

@RamblingBiped said:
Oh... And an overview of using SNMP to monitor and manage your network. This could possibly be built into a session on setting up a proper network monitoring service.
I'd love to see a good monitoring talk. Pick one of the big tools and really showcase it.
-
I'd love a grilled cheese competition. SAM must participate.
Not exceptions.
-
@DustinB3403 Wish granted, lol.
-
I'll do a session on SSL Certificates (Demystifying SSL Certs) or an Active Directory or Exchange training session. or P2V - ESXi or Hyper-V!! pick me, pick me! Scott wanted to see something on monitoring, I know Solar Winds but haven't been in it for a couple of years...??
-
Concerning the Linux class: For us beginners, it would be great to have a class where the flavors are presented and the differences are shown, and what purpose they each serve...??
-
I could easily go into an hour long discussion on POTS/VoIP cost analysis and comparisons. Could be a companion to an actual training session on a PBX system of some type.

Keep the ideas coming!

I know Nagios & Family are quite Popuplar, but it would also be nice to see a couple of different products side by side and how they compare...
IE: Nagios vs Zabbix

I will be putting together a poll in the next couple weeks to vote on sessions. Please keep your ideas coming!

What about a session on logging?

Yep, that would be good too. I think that is something a lot of IT pros don't think too much about until they need it. Would be nice to see a look at logging in general or maybe an ELK-in-an-hour session.
-
ELK in an Hour, I like that one. Unlike the monitoring session, I feel like there are only ELK and Splunk in the "run your own" logging category. And Splunk is crazy expensive. So focusing on ELK could work.
-
You ever heard of Graylog / Graylog 2? I just stumbled across those in the last few days, but don't have a working setup yet.

Right, you could easily get the info and basics for ELK done in an hour.
-
I guess my biggest question is who is going to present these? Us as a community or vendors or someone else?
-
Some community members and a few vendors as well. But the Vendor ones will also be deeper dives.
-
The vendors that will be speaking are ones you all know well and are starting to be more active here as well.

What about Containers? Examples, explanations, how tos? Docker, LXC, Rocket?
