The first one that was mine was a TRS-80 model III converted into a model IV. It had dualing 5.25" floppys and either 64k or 128k of memory. I was a poor college student and had no printer. At one point I was using a loaned Franklin (apple II clone) with a 1200bps modem. Later I bought a Tandy 1000a (PC XT clone) and added…

Congrats to cookieproblem​ and to matt.hill​ !!

Either I must be having a serious case of Deja Vu or I have seen a posting very much like this earlier this year.... Not trying to be negative, just curious if I am the only one or not....

This is the simple view of a service on a single server. This needs to be able to expand to allow for multiple servers/instances that define the total business service. I think App Stack as named needs to evolve a bit more in order to define services...especially when portions of different services may run on the same…

all the more reason clickbait exists....to perpetuate false news and potentially malware and viruses, and and for advertising revenue based on the number of clicks to a website.

coding skills are always a plus...an admin may have to script something. It also helps you to have an idea of what may be going on behind the scenes...

Monday searching for coffee bump...

and amazon will be dropping those orders off with drones...or better yet have distributed hubs where they will print the clothes for you on demand.

Congrats @"kpina" !!!

Hmm...must have been a "Most Valued Pencil" since we seem to all be carriers....

Those look like weblogic service names which don't appear in the process stack but rather in the weblogic console. if you do a ps -ef | grep java you should see a list of java processes and you may see a reference to those names in the command line arguments. I believe you'll need to watch for java and include enough info…

I have a HydroFlask cooler that is about that size and is decent. I haven't seen the Otterbox variant to compare too.

I looked for reviews on Google and all I could find were listings for this as a promotional item without any end user reviews. It seems to be a typical soft cooler but I have no info on the insulation capabilities of it.

I also agree on this. If our cyber team finds telnet and/or http is in use, they'll red flag it. They want those protocols to be not available. Corporate policy does not allow telnet to be used or installed. Firewalls by default block those ports in my shop unless a risk exception and business case is submitted and…

agreed, this looks "off"

I wish I could find the thing I wrote years ago on here related to this. I call this a breadcrumb. All alerts need to have a breadcrumb in the alert definition that references what alert template created the alert. So either list the alert definition name in the alert text or as part of the alert name in the template, use…

You might inquire with Adobe support to see what options there are for their update packages. From there you can better determine what options you have. Of course it may limit your ability to back out an update if needed. 

Can you clarify in better detail what you are wanting to monitor and alert on? For example some log files are created for the day. Some are only created when there is something to write to it. Are you wanting to know when it was last updated (written to) and alert if it hasn't been written to in the last 30 minutes? If…

Can you use an html img src tag to convert the path/filename to html and let the system process that in the output? Just an idea.

I'm sure some of the MVP's would be happy to help if needed. I know I flag a number of posts every day.

Yeah, those were beasts. There were slightly larger versions used for the console of the mainframe that had a slightly larger keyboard (added keys) to support console operations. Radioshack went to Braegan terminals for most mainframe users/programmers since they were cheaper, smaller, and lighter than IBM versions. I…

I loaded my first tape on an IBM 360 series machine in the early 70's as a kid. DASD was on what was referred to as spindles. 5.25 floppies were originally single sided. There were also 8" floppies a bit later on. Nothing as deafening as the sound of an entire DASD farm spinning down during a power failure. VM was a great…

That and running the round reels through the tape cleaning machine and replacing the start and end markers on the tape. For our midrange machines, backups were read in and copied on the mainframe for additional archival reasons. We did daily partial backups, weekly full backups, weekly partial backups and monthly full…

subtract a few more years if they were round reels and not the cartridges used later. I hated pulling scratch tapes or carts of tapes for a big job. At least MVS tracked what tapes went to what and generated scratch lists with the proper tape management software.

I make the effort to mark each one of these as spam/abusive and then go mark the profile that sent them as abusive. Some have been around for months and I am surprised those accounts still exist. There are times when two new accounts pop up and one asks a question and shortly later the other answers the question, usually…

This sounds like a good opportunity to utilize a KB (Knowledge Base) article. I am not sure how to integrate one into Solarwinds but from a general help page you can list several KB articles and at the end of each article with things to check or try you can possibly have a link to the create a ticket page.

Sometimes it is not a single file or folder. It could be a very large number of smaller files possibly distributed amongst several folders or directories on the drive or filesystem.

What exactly are you trying to monitor or accomplish? Yes perl can do it as well as shell scripting but we need more info to better answer your question.

Nonstop servers if I recall correctly were what used to be the old Tandem Nonstop servers. They have a very different OS. I am not sure what they look like today as I worked with them over 20 years ago. I am not sure if they can be virtualized these days or if HPE is offering them in a cloud solution these days. Based on…

SIEM tools and other products like splunk have agents that can pull the log file data in near time.
