<![CDATA[This community service program was conducted to strengthen vocational students' competencies in network monitoring using Python. The partner school's main challenge was that networking lessons were still centered on hardware-oriented tools such as Mikrotik and Cisco, while software-based monitoring skills had not been introduced systematically. The program took the form of a workshop at SMKN 4 Bandar Lampung on 24 September 2025 and combined short lectures, demonstrations, guided practice, and mini projects. The training module covered basic networking concepts, connectivity and server status, bandwidth and latency, Python fundamentals, and the use of requests, psutil, socket, subprocess, and pandas to build a simple network monitoring system. Evaluation was conducted descriptively using pre-tests, post-tests, and practical assessment. The results showed that the mean pre-test accuracy of 46% from 32 participants increased to 64% in the post-test completed, representing an 18 percentage-point gain. All students also completed the assigned Python-based monitoring practice successfully. The outputs included a training module, poster, short video, and press release to support sustainability and dissemination.]]>
