THWACK June Mission – Birthday Celebration: Fueling the Next Era of IT Community!

mariefab

Monthly mission is making a comeback. The community is coming in for a historic landing, and the THWACK crew is already preparing for the next orbit. June’s mission, Birthday Celebration, is all about honoring the phenomenal milestone of our community’s journey while powering the next generation of monitoring excellence. Our systems are primed, control modules are checked, and new courses are plotted. But before we officially launch into this next celebratory era, we need the most important part of the crew, you!

The wait is officially over: THWACK monthly missions are making a huge comeback, and we are kicking things off with a celebration!

For over two decades, this community has been the ultimate hub for IT pros to share custom templates, solve complex monitoring puzzles, and connect. Today, we’ve grown into a global powerhouse of over 200,000 professionals. This month, your knowledge, technical savvy, and feedback will be the fuel that drives the THWACK mission program forward. Share your insights, test your skills, vote on what matters most, and help chart a course for an exciting new year of community milestones.

THE JUNE MISSION

Complete the 5 daily challenges to unlock an exclusive profile badge, secure your 750 ThwackPoints, and be entered for a chance to win one of 3 exciting prizes!

Our 5-day trajectory blends community history, modern tech infrastructure, and critical feedback:

Day 1 (Monday) – Community Roots: Test your knowledge on the official launch year of the THWACK community.
Day 2 (Tuesday) – The IT Architect's Wishlist: Dive into SolarWinds Observability to spot AI/ML anomaly detection capabilities.
Day 3 (Wednesday) – Community Currency: A quick checkpoint on the beloved points you accumulate every single day.
Day 4 (Thursday) – The Ultimate Gift: Tackle database optimization and locate the ultimate source of truth in Database Performance Analyzer (DPA).
Day 5 (Friday) – The Birthday Interactive Poll: In alignment with our updated community metrics, Friday shifts from a quiz to an interactive poll to collect your vital feedback on what assets will help you succeed in day-to-day operations.

Prizes

Inspired by our community traditions, completing the mission drops you into the raffle for these incredible gear upgrades:

Prize 1: Lenovo Armored Backpack
Prize 2: Mophie 4-in-1 Wireless Charging Mat

Grand Prize: Sonos Era 100 - Black - Wireless, Alexa Enabled Smart Speaker

I was wondering the same thing. I definitely answered Tuesday's today but it shows I have 4 more questions still. Just not sure how I get to Monday's question.

jeffsudd

That is a bug that we are currently working on, the page will show you what days you missed. As far as answering the previous day's question, we want to reward people who are coming daily to answer the questions! We want to avoid having people come in the final day and answering all the questions in one day. There are mission badges for people who answer all of them, but we'll also have impartial badges for those who missed any as a thank you for participating.

I would rethink that somewhat. People may be out for a variety of reasons, sick, vacation, SolarWinds World Tour, etc. Sometimes work, life or other things get in the way of a monthly mission. (I know it's a crazy thought) forcing someone to have to be here every day is a bit draconian especially when it's been 6 months since the last monthly mission. I would allow some time (maybe 2 weeks?) for people to get caught up.

@mariefab - Nice !!! The missions are back :)

vinay.by

I am seeing a different issue altogether I cant proceed ahead, when i begin the mission get onto Step 2 select the answer and click on Finish it states "The question is not yet available" ?

vinay.by

But then it states :)

The challenges will remain open through June 27, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. your local timezone.

Strange, I sent this to our team. They'll look into it, and I'll make sure we compensate you if the error ends up making you miss a day.

vinay.by

Thank you @jeffsudd

jeremymayfield

Am I not allowed to go back? I was traveling yesterday and didn't get a chance to check Monday. Are we a play today or miss out? I like the old version where if we were late we could pop in answer a few and catch up. Anyone?

puneetrao

Hey @vinay.by Could you please confirm a couple of things for me?

Which time zone are you currently in?
Which browser are you using?
When you encountered this error, did you try performing a hard refresh?
