Abstract

The purpose of this article is to develop a system that will enable the monitoring of smart water systems over the network. In this study, firstly why this system is needed is explained and then the developed application is explained. As described in chapter I, each network must be monitored by its administrators to detect potential cyber-attacks and faults. In critical infrastructures, this is a mandatory condition. Otherwise, a possible cyber-attack or faults in the network may lead to the suffering of thousands of people. The application developed for these reasons has been designed according to user criteria, taking into account the previous applications, as explained in section II. With the developed application, the Critical Infrastructures National Testbed Center water management network can be monitored using the web-based and SNMP protocol, and possible abnormal situations can be easily detected.
