Course Overview
Containerized NOM offers Stakeholder Dashboarding and Flex Reporting capabilities based on data collected from OpenText products such as Network Node Manager i (NNMi) and Network Automation (NA). It includes several components such as OPTIC Data Lake (OPTIC DL), OPTIC Management Toolkit (OMT), Stakeholder Dashboards (which was earlier known as Business Value Dashboard or BVD), Flex Reporting, 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 Stakeholder Dashboards and Flex Reports.
This four-day, entry-level, instructor-led training course offers technical personnel, who are new to Network Operations Management (NOM) and OPTIC Management Toolkit Foundation (OMT), the opportunity to develop hands-on experience in applying the fundamental principles, methodologies, and capabilities for managing and displaying NOM reporting data using Stakeholder Dashboards, Flex Reporting and OPTIC DL, Incident Troubleshooting, Performance Troubleshooting and Performance Maps.
This course includes hands-on labs that use the latest version of the OPTIC Data Lake and OMT platform for the NOM Suite.
Highlights:
- Learn how to get started with Stakeholder Dashboards
- Create Dashboards using pre-created Visio templates to visualize information from different data sources in an informative and appealing way
- Configure and use out-of-the-box (OOTB) NOM OPTIC DL reports
- Create custom Dashboards
- Manage Stakeholder Dashboards user access and permissions
- Integrate NOM data sources & data collectors with Stakeholder Dashboards and OPTIC DL
- Learn about Flex Reporting and its features
- Launch OOTB Flex Reports using the OPTIC One user interface
- Configure custom Flex Reports using key infrastructure and performance-related NOM KPIs
- Populate the Flex Reports with data collected in OPTIC Data Lake from the NNMi and NA data sources
