This course focuses on administrative tasks associated with Agile Service Manager including its installation and configuration.  It consists of lecture recordings used during an onsite delivery of an instructor-led course by a subject matter expert.  Lab exercises use images that were used during the live course. 

Agile Service Manager is a tool that allows you to see the topology of a business service.  For instance, you can see all the bare metal hardware, network infrastructure hardware, virtual machines, containers, and virtual network components that make up an individual service.  Then you can monitor the state of that service over time and see the changes that happen to the topology on a timeline.  You can see containers launch and be destroyed and associate changes in the service topology with events in your network.  This enables you to not only diagnose failure events but potentially predict an event before an outage occurs.
