Course Overview
Containerized NOM offers stakeholders Dashboarding and Reporting capabilities based on data collected from Micro Focus products such as Network Node Manager i (NNMi) and Network Automation (NA). It includes several components such as OPTIC Data Lake (OPTIC DL), Business Value Dashboard (BVD), and Vertica DB. The OPTIC Data Lake collects and normalizes network monitoring-related data, which gets stored in the Vertica database and is then presented through BVD.
This three-day, entry-level, instructor-led training course offers technical personnel, who are new to Network Operations Management (NOM) - Container Deployment Foundation (CDF) Suite, OPTIC DL, and BVD, the opportunity to develop hands-on experience in applying the fundamental principles, methodologies, and capabilities for managing and displaying NOM reporting data using BVD & OPTIC DL.
In this course, you will learn how to get started with BVD, create BVD dashboards using Visio stencils to visualize information from different sources in an informative & appealing way, configure & use OOTB NOM OPTIC DL reports, create custom Dashboards, manage BVD user access and permissions, and integrate NOM data sources & data collectors with BVD and OPTIC DL. This course includes hands-on labs that use v2020.11 of the OPTIC CDF platform for the NOM Suite.
