SkySMC - SkyRadar’s System Monitoring and Control Suite is a pedagogically enhanced, fully operational monitoring tool. We have optimized it to cater for the ATSEP-SMC training compliant to EASA's Easy Access Rules for ATM-ANS (Regulation (EU) 2017/373) and ICAO Doc 10057.
This System Monitoring Control (SMC) solution comes as a software, installed on a server module.
The system includes a pedagogically enhanced monitoring environment and a simulated ATC environment. It connects to the various training laboratories by SkyRadar. The monitoring system is by default connected to special training infrastructure and optionally to an environment for remote monitoring experiments. It is accessible from all computers in the available laboratories including radar labs, electrical installations, electro-mechanics, electronics.
The SMC solution provides the important use cases in line with EASA's Easy Access Rules for ATM-ANS (Regulation (EU) 2017/373) ATSEP.BAS.SMC.
Features of the SMC Solution:
The System Monitoring and Control Solution includes by default and on a separate server:
It allows for connection to
In the following we will list examples of possible use cases, which can be trained on and with SkySMC.
Let us now look at major features in the system control and monitoring software. The amount of features offered is growing on a weekly basis. So best have a regular look at the SkySMC product page on our website to always see the most recent version.
Devices are the units to be monitored.
The SMC solution includes e.g.
The SMC solution includes a variety of parameters. By connecting them through drag and drop to the devices, the specific parameters are read out. The parameters include:
When we click on the parameters (e.g. NginxStatus), we can choose different values. Request per seconds, the active connections of the server, or the number of requests that are in reading or writing state or those which are waiting.
We can for instance refresh the included example website. Consequently the requests per second in the Nginx server will increase.
The pedagogical Monitoring and Control system has additional training oriented tools, e.g. to generate some 100 or 1000 requests per second.
The parameter blocks are configurable. Countless additional parameters can be added, using the standardized Object Identifier Codes (by ITU or/and ISO).
Then we should connect the device to a parameter, e.g. CpuIdle (defining how much of the CPU is idle). And then connect it to a chart. The Gauge chart updates every few seconds.
The line chart allows you to display the history. Several gauges can be connected to the parameters.
Different devices use different parameter types. The NGINX server for instance provides its statistics via HTTP. The SNMP server provides its data via the SNMP protocol.
When we click on the parameters (e.g. NginxStatus), we can choose different values. Request per seconds, the active connections of the server, or the number of requests that are in reading or writing state or those which are waiting. We can for instance refresh the website. Consequently the requests per second in the Nginx server will increase:
The component “DiagramPack” is like a folder. It helps us to package / group / classify our diagrams.
It allows us to create groupings and substructures and thus make sure that the screens are always understandable and never overloaded.
This subset of the solution includes:
SkySMC comes with the above described training environment of virtual servers and various ATC-oriented applications and databases. It is also able to connect to any object with OID address.
In addition we offer a multitude of extending applications to strengthen the learning experience and to improve learning results.
A physical environment represents in a simplified way a typical ATC facilities.
This subset of the laboratory shall help to gain hands-on experience in bug-discovery and fixing. It includes:
The user can even include technical training laboratories which allow to set up training and monitoring infrastructures for
