Overview

“Network Monitoring” is a compact live course in the field of Networking. It centres on SNMP and traps, NetFlow and IPFIX and Syslog evaluation – explained with realistic examples and deepened in exercises you can transfer straight to your daily work.

A stable, secure network is the prerequisite for almost every IT service, and with cloud connectivity, remote work, Wi-Fi and segmentation, complexity keeps growing. Our Network Monitoring courses are aimed at network administrators, system owners and security teams who need to design, configure and secure networks and get them running again quickly after incidents. We combine protocol understanding with practical configuration: you work in a provided lab with real or virtual devices and analyze traffic yourself. The course runs online or on site, lasts one day and is offered at a fixed price per participant.

The course is delivered live – either online in a virtual classroom or on-site in our training rooms in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern. We can also run it exclusively for your team.

Frequently asked questions

Who is the Network Monitoring course for?

It is for network and system administrators, security owners and architects who plan, operate or secure Network Monitoring. Beginners learn the concepts, while experienced engineers deepen design, troubleshooting and automation. In a short pre-call we clarify your priorities.

Do we work on real devices?

For Network Monitoring we use a lab with real or virtualized network devices and analysis tools. You configure on your own, provoke failures and evaluate traffic. Your company's production networks are not touched.

How much does “Network Monitoring” cost?

The course costs a flat €949 plus VAT per participant – whether online or on-site. This includes 6 hours of live training with a trainer, course materials, a lab environment and a certificate of attendance.

Can I suggest my own date?

Yes. For every location we suggest a date roughly four weeks ahead. In the request form you can always describe your preferred date or period in free text – we check availability and get back to you within one working day.

Is the course online or on-site?

Both are possible: live online in a virtual classroom or on-site in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern. We can also run the course exclusively for your team.

Can the course be tailored to our team?

Yes. Tailor-made courses cost approx. €4,500 more, depending on the topic and by arrangement. We agree content, examples and exercises with you in advance.
