SolarWinds Systems Expert Training with Hands-on Labs (Online, Onsite, and Classroom Live)

This newly introduced SolarWinds Systems Expert Training course is meticulously tailored for SolarWinds administrators with a focus on systems. This class extensively covers AppStack and systems-specific modules and topics not typically explored in other classes.

Designed for students with a minimum of six months of hands-on experience in SolarWinds NPM and SAM administration, or graduates of our SolarWinds Platform Administration class, this class assumes a basic grasp of element polling and web console navigation.

What to Expect

A deep dive into systems-focused modules and topics, including NPM, SAM, DPA (Database Performance Analyzer), AppOptics, VMAN (Virtualization Manager), SRM (Storage Resource Monitor), WPM (Web Performance Monitor), and PINGDOM.
