Putting the Pieces Together

Chris Hird

When: April 8, 2021 @ 3:30 eastern

Where: On-line

Presented By: Chris Hird, Shield Advanced Solutions Ltd

When starting an Open Source project it is not just about what platform to consider, but also all the tools that you will need to implement the new software and maintain it.  During this session with Chris Hird, he will break it down so you can get a clear understanding of how all the pieces fit together.  Chris will be sharing insights from the Open Source project that is maintained by IBM (Nagios-for-IBM-i). 

During the presentation Chris will cover various aspects such as:

  • The platform - IBM i, Linux,
  • Sustainability – updates and complexity,
  • Tooling – Rdi, Visual Studio etc,
  • Which language – PHP, Python, Node, Java etc
  • The initial source – GitHub, Nagios Exchange and more,
  • Plus where to turn for support.

Chris is President of Shield Advanced Solutions (Canada) Ltd an independent company who have been providing High Availability software since 1997. He supports the Open source initiative on IBM i and has developed a number of solutions which are available via GitHub. He continues to provide technical insights to the latest features of IBM i and how to implement them in your own environments via his online Blog.
