System Configuration for monitoring and control

involves setup of hardware, software, network

infrastructure and protocols that work together to

ensure real-time system performance management.

The primary goal is to collect data, analyze it and

execute control actions when necessary

6 System Configuration

  1. Monitoring Devices and Sensors

  2. Control Devices

  3. Data Collection and Aggregation

  4. Monitoring and Control Software

  5. Communication Network

  6. Control Center and User Interface

3
New cards

Monitoring Devices and Sensors

Collect real time data from various points within the system;

often use protocols like SNMP

4
New cards

Control Devices

Execute commands to manage

the system based on monitoring data; perform

adjustments like activating backups, shutting

down faulty units, or rerouting traffic

5
New cards

Data Collection and Aggregation -

Centralize and

store data from various sources

6
New cards

Monitoring and Control Software

Provides a visual interface for operators to observe and manage

systems; network monitoring tools like Zabbix

7
New cards

Communication Network

Facilitates reliable data

transmission between sensors, controllers, and

monitoring systems; LAN/WAN, VPNs, wireless or fiber

optic networks

8
New cards

Control Center and User Interface

Provide

operators with real-time insights and control options;

user roles and permissions are defined to ensure

secure operations

9
New cards

Standalone Configuration

single monitoring and control system managing a specific application or area

• Advantages: Simple setup and maintenance and cost-effective for small operations

• Limitations: No centralized oversight and limited scalability

10
New cards

Centralized Configuration

all monitoring and control functions are managed from one central control room or data center

• Advantages: Real-time visibility over all subsystems and easier coordination and decision-making

• Limitations: Risk of single point of failure and requires robust communication networks

11
New cards

Distributed Configuration

monitoring and control responsibilities are divided across multiple regional or remote control units, with a central system for oversight.

• Advantages: Improved fault tolerance and reduces latency in remote areas

• Limitations: Complex to manage and maintain and requires effective data synchronization

12
New cards

Hybrid Configuration

combines centralized and distributed configurations, offering both local control and centralized oversight.

• Advantages: Balances control between local and central systems and provides redundancy and flexibility

• Limitations: Higher cost and complexity

13
New cards

Cloud-Based Configuration

data from sensors and devices is sent to a cloud platform for analysis, monitoring, and control.

• Advantages: scalable, flexible and accessible from anywhere with internet connectivity

• Limitations: Reliant on stable internet connectivity and data security and privacy concerns

14
New cards

Redundant Configuration

designed with backup components and failover mechanisms to ensure continued operations during failures.

• Advantages: High system availability and reliability and prevents service interruptions

• Limitations: High implementation and maintenance costs

15
New cards

Mobile and Remote Configuration

provides monitoring and control through mobile applications or remote access portals.

• Advantages: Flexible access for operators in the field and reduces response time to issues

• Limitations: Security risks from remote access

16
New cards

In ______,

making configuration changes is a critical task that

involves adjusting settings, parameters, or

components to ensure the system operates efficiently

and meets operational requirements. These changes

can include software updates, hardware

replacements and network reconfigurations

System Monitoring and Control (SMC) systems

10- GENERAL TECHNIQUES FOR MAKING CONFIGURATION CHANGES

  1. Change Management Process

  2. Version Control and Configuration Management Tools

  3. Redundancy and Failover Techniques

  4. Configuration Validation and Simulation

  5. Incremental or Phased Implementation

  6. Backup and Recovery Procedures

  7. Remote Management and Automation

  8. Monitoring and Logging

  9. Rollback and Recovery Plans

  10. Documentation and Knowledge Management

18
New cards

Change Management Process

formal process

that governs how configuration changes are

planned, evaluated, and implemented

19
New cards

Version Control and Configuration

Management Tools

tools that track and manage

configuration changes, ensuring version control and

consistency

20
New cards

Redundancy and Failover Techniques

prevent

service disruptions

21
New cards

Configuration Validation and Simulation

Simulating configuration changes in a test or virtual

environment to predict the outcomes without

affecting the live system.

22
New cards

Incremental or Phased Implementation

applying configuration changes in stages to

minimize risks.

23
New cards

Backup and Recovery Procedures

Creating

backups of the current configuration before

making changes.

24
New cards

Remote Management and Automation

Using

remote access tools and automation scripts to perform

configuration changes

25
New cards

Monitoring and Logging

Continuously monitor the

system for unexpected behavior or performance

degradation during and after a configuration change

26
New cards

Rollback and Recovery Plans

Developing rollback

plans to revert changes if issues arise

27
New cards

Documentation and Knowledge Management

Documenting every step of the configuration change

for transparency and traceability

28
New cards

Implementing a planned major system change in a System Monitoring and Control (SMC) environment

requires a structured and well-coordinated process to

minimize risks, ensure operational continuity, and

maintain system integrity. A major change might

include hardware upgrades, software updates,

system migrations, or significant configuration

modifications

8 IMPLEMENTATION OF PLANNED MAJOR SYSTEM CHANGE

  1. Change Identification and Assessment

  2. Change Approval and Authorization

  3. Planning and Preparation

  4. Communication and Stakeholder Management

  5. Testing and Validation

  6. Implementation

  7. Post-Implementation Review and Verification

  8. Closure and Documentation
