Event Details

Note: This is a three-day course from 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., June 08 - 10 at InfoComm 2024 in Las Vegas.

Are you an engineer or programmer who's ready to get serious about monitoring your (or your customer's) AV systems? If so, this class is for you. 

Let's face it: monitoring AV systems is a pain. If we do it at all, we're usually spread across multiple vendor-specific tools that only show us part of the picture.

Where are the vendor-neutral tools? Where is the fabled single-pane-of-glass? Why is this all so difficult?!? In this three-day class, we'll tackle these questions and more. 

Join us as we dig deep into: 

• Common monitoring platform capabilities, attributes, and architectures.
• Using organizational objectives & maturity models to guide platform selection.
• System monitoring plans and how they can bring calm to the chaos.
• Data collection methods for AV devices, applications, cloud APIs, and more.
• How data pipelines turn raw data into meaningful metrics, logs, and events.
• Health modeling and how to use events in determining system health.
• Optimizing system design and programming for enhanced monitoring.
• And much more!

Upon completion of this course, students will have gained many of the technical skills required to implement or enhance their monitoring practice at home.
