Workshop on Network Management and Monitoring Tools

NMaaS is a service developed and maintained by the GÉANT Project. NMaaS is offered to all members of the GÉANT community including NRENs, end Institutions, research projects and individuals with the indent to ease local network monitoring and management by moving the NMS installation to a secure NMaaS cloud.
Session will cover a brief introduction to selected aspects of the Network Management as a Service, an update on the central NMaaS instance running at https://nmaas.eu and a live walkthrough of the process of deploying and accessing a new application instance on the example of RARE infrastructure monitoring.

By deploying Campus Networks as a Service, Uninett's existing plethora of network and service monitoring tools multiplies with every new customer. How can we manage alarms and notifications from all of these instances in our Service Center?
For this purpose, we built Argus: A open source tool for consolidating incidents across network management systems, and for managing NOC notification profiles in a single interface.
This talk presents our progress with Argus since the last NEMMO, our current status, and some of the issues we've run across on the way.

WiFiMon is an open source system for Wi-Fi network performance evaluation aiming to support administrators in detecting underperforming sections in their networks. WiFiMon combines crowdsourced and hardware probe measurements; crowdsourced measurements monitor the end user Wi-Fi experience, while hardware probes monitor the network from fixed points, thus enabling baseline comparisons with crowdsourced ones. This talk will introduce the audience to WiFiMon and its capabilities, discuss results from WiFiMon setups and provide details on ongoing work.

Experience in monitoring at High Frequency packet networks in NRENs using In-band Network Telemetry. Facing new challenges and big data collection and analysis.

Timemap is a service developed in WP6T1 for collection, visualization and analysis of latency and jitter measurement data from Géant backbone routers using the Juniper Realtime Performance Monitor and TWAMP standard. In this talk we will present Timemap's features and its architecture, presenting how it will evolve and how the same ideas could be adopted by NRENs for latency and jitter monitoring inside their own networks.

A look at the latest perfSONAR development and features with versions 4.2 and 4.3 and what comes next. Preparing for perfSONAR 5.0 with a major backend overhaul that will enable new visualisation capabilities and integration with other network monitoring tools.

This session will share insights and experiences on PMP service. We will also brainstorm new ideas to enhance the service and drive its future directions.
