Back to work and back at it bump !

Good followup. Thanks for the series as it was informative and helpful to some who haven't ventured down this path yet.

We used kiwi in a past life for syslog consolidation.

then you have to include the batmobile, the mach5, Trans AM (Smokey and the Bandit), and others....

Not quite as harsh...

For some events we will send an "advisory" alert...more of a heads up that a condition exists that may be indicative of an outage.twork team We also have the network team label the interfaces of the switches with a criticality number (1-4) a responsible group designator (2 characters) and a name of attached device. all…

ROFLMAO !!! Dang, I needed that !

Nice hat !

Equifax didn't require you to enter in your personal info.. They built a business around obtaining it and then selling access to others over what became a requirement for credit. You had no choice...but were merely along for the ride, breaches and all.

on of the reasons some hate patching is that it sometimes breaks things....until a new patch come out to fix the previous patch.

MS AI in a drone...not totally new. NOAA, NASA, and the military as well as quite a few colleges have been doing autonomous vehicle operations. This mostly builds in the art of soaring. At the simplest level as you fly you look for lift and how much lift, You basically turn to determine how large of an area and use it to…

rschroeder​, not an EMT yet...taking the class to upgrade from EMR (Emergency Medical Responder).

Hmm 41k between us so I am safe for a week or three. Leon will have to watch out here in about 9 months.

technical term for that in the EMS/Fire industry is "Crispy Critter".

I forgot to add, most of the skimmers don't fit well and you can see the poor fit if you look for it. Secondly many will come off with a slight pull...since you are about to interact with that payment terminal, check it out.

I agree with your points rschroeder​ as the healthcare industry has some unique challenges. I'd throw out there that emergency services (Fire, EMS, Police) has many similar and some more unique challenges and the continuity side with the ability to fail over to an alternate site on the fly is so very crucial. Having the…

It is a bit more than just correlation. You need to set up filters for the "normal noise" and rules to catch the known issues. Everything else then becomes suspect and needs to be looked at/categorized into one of the 2 previous buckets. This pares down the list on an ongoing basis. Things become easier to spot that could…

Congrats to all of the winners !! ....still checking email in case latency snuck in to tease me.

SLA'a are 4 letter words in some shops. If set up properly and for the right things they actually help you. I have also seen some overly tight ones that are designed to make you fail. Regarding the customer statisfaction...I find that a survey as part of the ticket process really helps that part along. There you can get…

These teams should work hand in hand since they both utilize some of the same data. I know the infosec teams tend to have a superiority complex, well some do. In some shops they don't play by the same rules as all the other teams...thus their devices are not in DNS (in the name of security), they only want them monitored…

I can neither confirm nor deny...

ecklerwr1 I've got points for the fridge...I'd have to level up to level 20 plus a few more points for the table but I don't have room for it anywhere. I may be able to get by with the fridge here at the office since it is likely a peltier device (solid state) to provide the cooling. What about you ?

google is your friend...or you could click the 2 year old link to find out.

Very good to know there are open source equivalents to Splunk. A challenge to many tools of this sort is that they are easy to get data into and build searches/queries to find things. Getting meaningful results back out into a potentially actionable alert tends to be the challenge. In other words, they don't share well…

was out half of last week so I missed out on the deadline. Time to catch up....

wide angle lens distortion...

I do have an air-gapped Win98se laptop (old thinkpad with no wireless capability) and Win2k laptop (seldom on wlan but only the one at home if it is) that I use for radio programming. The software doesn't work on modern OS's even in compatibility mode. Plus some of the radios require a physical rs-232 port and a usb-rs232…

Excellent post and rschroeder​ the Calvins and Hobbes bit is spot on !!

I resemble that statement.

Good points !
