Abstract

The thesis describes the development of an application designed for the Android platform, whose purpose is to support network management and monitoring of various network services, servers and other network hardware. The application is using the existing Zabbix application programmable interface for accessing data, which is described and presented in this thesis as one of the many software solutions for network managing. Supporting the description of the application is a representation of the Android SDK and its basic features, which, in combination with the Eclipse development tool, forms a powerful environment for application development. As a final product, the application is used for monitoring computers in a computer center or network, collecting indicators of computational resources in various time frames, and pointing out failures or shortfalls of their performance. When designing the application, we focused on presenting the information, which is most relevant for users of mobile phones and other devices. The main features of the application are that they provide an overview of the current state of hosts along with any possible errors, which are triggered in case of extraordinary, a detailed overview of host properties, and a display of generated graphs for various categories within a selected time period.
