Applied Monitoring for AV Systems: In-Person Training at InfoComm 2026

Monitoring AV systems is often fragmented across vendor-specific tools, partial visibility, and reactive workflows. Yet institutions increasingly depend on reliable, measurable AV performance at scale.

This three-day intensive introduces the AV Observability Framework™ (AVOF) — a structured methodology for designing, evaluating, and implementing an enterprise-grade AV observability program.

Participants learn how to leverage the AVOF to define what “healthy AV” means within their environment and translate that definition into measurable goals, health models, data pipelines, and sustainable architecture.

Throughout the course, we will use Omniglass — a self-hosted, free and open-source distribution of Zabbix for AV monitoring — to demonstrate how these principles translate into real-world systems.

By the end of the course, you will be prepared to apply the AVOF to guide observability efforts and introduce structured, defensible monitoring within your organization. Graduates continue the work through ongoing practitioner dialogue and shared reference resources.

Learning Objectives:

• Explain the layers of the AV Observability Framework™ (AVOF) and how they align monitoring efforts with institutional goals and risk posture.
• Apply the AVOF to design a structured AV health model, including KPIs, triggers, metrics, and data pipelines that transform telemetry into actionable insight.
• Develop an internal advocacy and activation plan using the AVOF to introduce structured observability within your own AV environment.
