How to install GroundWork Monitor 8 (Ubuntu 18.04)

Got 7 minutes? This video, just 7 minutes long, demonstrates a GroundWork Monitor 8 installation. For this demo we perform a new install for a standalone type installation on a Linux server with Ubuntu 18.04, and have decided on the hostname ip-10-4-50-199.gwos. The video starts with some system preparation, proceeds to install Docker, and then prepares and runs the GroundWork Installer. You will need to follow important instructions for all sections including Pre Install, Install, and Post Install.

Visualizing NOC Operations with GroundWork NOC Boards

A monitoring system is a shared tool. It’s useful for teams to operate from the same source of information, since subjective opinions can lead insights astray, especially when troubleshooting systems and network issues. You need a single source of truth. A monitoring dashboard with drill-down capability is a basic tool for any NOC staff. Often displayed on kiosks or wall-mounted in the Network Operations Center (NOC), dashboards let you know at a glance whether anything needs attention.
