Date: 28 May 2026 
Time: 14h00 - 17h00
Venue: Workshop17, Gardens, Cape Town
Title: Deploying observability tools

The goal of this session is to actually deploy tools in your environment to begin collecting data.

Detailed agenda:

13h30 - 14h00: Registration

14h00 - 17h00 : 
- Introduction Sflow/Netflow
- Deploying ASStats
- Deploying Akvorado
- Configuring routers to send flows
- Anything else you need help fixing.

Prerequisites: A laptop that connects to an already deployed *nix server running docker than can access your network devices.

While this training is free because of sponsorship, there is very limited spaces and therefore a vetting process is in place to ensure the candidates meet the requirements and will attend the session.

Strictly limited to two registrations per organisation.

You will be required to give a very brief motivation on ensuring you will attend this training and why you would like to attend.
