Tutorials

Learning-oriented, guided paths. Each tutorial takes you from nothing to a working result by following one linear sequence of steps — no decisions, no detours. Start here if you are new to Northwatch.

• Getting started — bring up the local OVN lab, start Northwatch against it, and open the UI on a deployment that has live data flowing through it.
• Investigate with Omnisearch — start from a single IP address and follow the correlation chain across the Northbound and Southbound databases to the chassis hosting the port.
• Explore a deployment offline — capture a point-in-time snapshot of a live deployment and serve it back as a read-only copy you can browse anywhere.

Once you are comfortable with the basics, the How-to guides cover specific tasks, the Reference documents every flag and route, and the Explanation section describes how Northwatch works.
