ditto - this and are duplicates - but please vote for both and I found a third request for essentially the same - please up-vote all three, SolarWinds needs to address this most basic need

have you noticed how bosses, that have no clue what it is you do, ask you to generate your own job title? If you have ever asked anyone to do this, you don't care enough about them to find out what they do...

xmelmacx03​, I sent you a DM.

Good to hear I'm not the only one.

Well, that was my Christmas present for you all.

xbod​, here it is:

Update: points were awarded to everyone who completed the survey. Thank you all for participating!

We'll have to move it to either NPM or SAM. I can move it to one of those, if either seems more appropriate.

If I was the pointy haired boss, I would address some but not all of these questions: • We need more people No. No wait, that is a good idea, how many offshore engineers do you recommend I hire to replace your team? • We need to “find a new home” for Steven and Brian No • We need more training / team members need more…

I will post here an update once we awarded the points.

Definitely an important feature to add. 

These use BRE's basic regular expressions. You will find that if you try to match the certificate data you will end up breaking other things with the configuration comparison. My recommendation is to leave it as default and not attempt to expand on them. Ignoring the hex MAY work on certain devices but in fact break other…

Hi all, First of all, thank you for taking this short survey. As you may know, you should receive 250 points for your participation. So, my job here is to announce that those points were finally added to your profile. Feel free to contact me if you have any concerns. I would also want to ask mvillemann and Bruce Jarrett to…

Check out this existing feature request: http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/1317 I agree, this would be huge.

I do not see any enhancement to trace route I just see this there was a post that the old version could be found in the deprecated dir, but my install does not have that folder

Be sure to initiate an Internet sub-committee within the Untied Nations. Or hope Congress can handle it, or join the fight here - Save the Internet | Free Press

I would like to at least add a MPLS WAN cloud to my drawings. We have a private MPLS network to all sites.

Hey guys, I sent you a DM for more details.

Upvoted. For background see https://thwack.solarwinds.com/message/431095?et=notification.mention#431095

I recently came across a question of how NIST 800-53 is different than NIST 800-171 and thought I'd post a quick comment here since it reminded me of this post. They are very similar, but NIST 800-171 is targeted specifically at contractor and other non-fed systems. There's a very similar subset of control families and…

Remember the cloud is just "someone's else's infrastructure." Fashion's in tech come and go, we will be here to ride the wave. Hybrid will be around for a fair few years yet and there will always be something on premise for us to monitor, along with those multivendor cloud offerings. Anyone remember thin clients? Many…

Just a quick announcement: I've added a badge for the July Mission to everyone who participated. Feel free to contact me if you don't see it on your profile.

Joshua Biggley, I'm pretty sure you're stalking my brain right now. I find consumer technology to have historically driven the mainstream IT market and it will continue to do so in 2015, but with more speed and precision. That is to say, as Lawrence Garvin mentioned with the iPhone, as the IoT (or Web2.0+) continues to…

Ah, good old tool sprawl. I've been part of a push to standardize on a single set of monitoring tools (Solarwinds) from a multitude of separate systems. Right now we have HP OpenView, GFI Server Monitor, Solarwinds, and Zenoss. Each monitors its own set of systems, and reports back to the appropriate team. Unfortunately,…

Yes, that's exactly what's happening.

Do you mean wary or weary? I'm wary of open source software because it all boils down to trust. Do I trust the developer not to introduce attack vectors into my network? Do I trust the developer not to introduce security vulnerabilities and to patch identified vulnerabilities in a timely manner? Do I trust that the…

Has this been resolved or did you find a solution that worked for you? Do the engineers have any input on this? I am experiencing this issue as well and I have SPM and WSUS installed on the same server (2012 R2). It is a VM created by duplicating our live SPM server [purchased a lab license] (which works with no problems)…

those xbones are sweet! love seeing another security mission.

After each mission we provide a Mission Accomplished blog which includes the correct answers for all questions. Keep an eye out on this space because on Monday we're going to publish the one for July.

@"EBeach" being a vegetarian myself and having a newborn baby boy was fairly interesting, as the stores all ran out of baby milk briefly, people were buying it to put on their cereal and because it's powdered they could keep it for a long time in the cupboard. It tastes terrible though so I've no idea why they would want…
