December 7 started as a typical, but busy, pre-holiday weekday. This included a mix of booming online retail sales ($33.9 billion spent during cyber week), packages flooding delivery services, and high online traffic. But much of that quickly came to a crawl. An outage of the AWS us-east-1 cloud region changed the good…
**REQUIRES ORION PLATFORM 2018.2 OR ABOVE** I had assembled this based on a much older SQL report, and then updated it to SWQL, then added some more intelligence to it so you can filter it based on the duration of the outage, search by the device names, and it has a method of letting you know when nodes have been down so…

Warstory In a network far far away on a sunny Friday afternoon something was broken badly and nobody was there to repair it.I was called in as an external consultant to help the local IT to fix the problem. I had never seen that network before and the description of the error was only saying "outage in the network". When I…
