Monitoring the Communication Channel From Puschshino to Moscow in the Project of Space Radio Telescope ”radioastron”

Abstract

The need for transmission and storage of large amounts of scientific data in the project space radio telescope "Radioastron" required us to organize a reliable communication channel between the tracking station in Pushchino and treatment centers in Moscow. Network management data requires us to an integrated approach and covers the organization secure access to manage network devices, timely replacement of equipment and software upgrades, backups, as well as documentation of the network infrastructure. The reliability of the channel is highly dependent on continuous monitoring of network and server equipment and communication lines.

“…We choose Zabbix as monitoring system because it is easy to use, it is Open Source and met most of the requirements we had for a monitoring tool in our environment for channel maintenance (Dumsky et al, 2014). The monitiring system is a powerful network tool that helps us to ensure that critical systems, applications and services are alwaysup and running.…”
