Hello friend
Welcome to my video
In this video
I show you how to build a lightweight network monitoring system on your Windows computer
Let us get started
First of all
Download and install virtualbox
Next Step
Download and install multipass
Multipass is a mini Cloud on your workstation
it will give you an Ubuntu command line in just a click or a simple multipass shell command
Activate the downloaded installer and it will guide you through the steps necessary
Select virtualbox
Then you can tell Multipass to use VirtualBox with this command
From then on, all instances started with multipass launch will use VirtualBox behind the scenes
Once the installation is complete, it is time to run Multipass for the first time
To launch the shell please right-click on the icon in the taskbar and click on Open Shell
Immediately PowerShell will be displayed and the Ubuntu image will start downloading
This is an unattended process
Next Step download and install observium
Observium is an network monitoring tool and support for Cisco, Linux, Windows, and many more
Observium focuses on providing a beautiful and powerful yet simple and intuitive interface to the health and status of your network
Observium has an automated install script for use on Ubuntu systems
Using the automated installation script is as easy as downloading it
Running it and answering a few simple questions
Add a user for accessing the Observium portal
Multipass runs as the system account, so to see the instances in VirtualBox,
Who's in virtualbox or through the vboxmanage command download and unpack PS
or through the VBoxManage command. Download and unpack PSTools.zip in your Downloads folder, and in an administrative PowerShell, run this command
To expose a service running inside the instance on your host
You need use virtualbox port forwarding feature
You can then open observium and add devices to monitor
Use the username and password of the admin user to login
