I've tried to do some searching, but given what I'm trying to search for, I got a lot of unrelated links.
We got budget to build an Orion lab, and have purchased our licenses. I'm working on getting the servers allocated for our lab.
Tell me about your lab and how you set it up. Did you replicate your database and build your lab using that? Having the same alerts, custom properties, etc with just a subset of the devices? Did you build it up from scratch and build it out to match your existing production environment? What do you do to keep it in 'sync' with with your production system?
I'm trying to collect and review some best-practices that others have used, learn from some of your experiences and mistakes? What works, what doesn't?
