16 – 20 June brought much ado about monitoring – from an LConf release and training course on Icinga 2, to a guide to SMS alerts and a network performance tool.
Christian began the week by announcing a new webinar on Foreman for OpenNebula, as Silke introduced our new training course on Icinga 2.
Meanwhile, Michael released LConf 1.4.2 and LConf for Icinga Web 1.4.0 with compatibility updates for Icinga 2.
Continuing on the monitoring theme, Georg explained how to set up Icinga / Nagios SMS alerts on Linux systems, and Tobias showed how to assess network performance with Iperf.
Lastly, Lennart came to a Puppet course’s rescue in Paris as a substitute trainer.
