That info used to be provided. Now it is available at the end of the mission.

there was more to the answer than just two....you missed one.

post Thwack upgrade bump!! #bumpsquad

agreed there are 3 that are similar down to 1 character...awaiting for clarification/remediation.

we are using splunk as well...unfortunately our volume of indexing keeps growing and therefore the licensing costs keep going up.

Now if we could only correlate this between 2 or more servers in a cluster.... As long as service XYZ is running on one of the following servers qqq,www,rrr,zzz. But we also need to know which server it primarily runs on and when it flops over in a fail-over state.

I like the gravy part...now we just need some bacon.

you have a front porch ?

Remember when you loaded a mag tape it always advanced to a specific position before the drive went ready ? It did this for any tape whether it was a scratch tape or held data... There was a reflective piece of mylar tape attached to the tape at the BOT (beginning of tape) and the EOT (end of tape) that signified the…

Excellent post with good points that actually apply to many areas of IT.

TGIF bump!! Just two more workdays until Monday ! #bumpsquad​

definitely not a step ahead of hackers..most everything seems to be reactive to exploits found both through proper channels and through new attacks.

Back at Radioshack we had a microfiche printer.... It got a lot of use.

Being out in a rural area my options are limited as I have fixed point to point wireless for internet access. Worse comes to worse I can use the wireless hotspot on the phone, but even with unlimited data I have a limit on hotspot data. Then there is the signal and bandwidth issue. Some days I get full signal strength on…

bummer....

Agree with what clubjuggle‌ and davemhenry‌ said. They are the first line in the face of the customers. Of course our job is to provide them with a good alert message with related info (KB article) to help them direct or resolve the issue early on.

interesting...not being involved in that the perspective is appreciated.

Good write up !

In the end, if you are even asking the question you are in the wrong line of work...most of the time.

Ahh...you are looking for tasks or sub-tasks which allow for multiple steps....this allows you to create workflows as well. Is normally available in change or request tickets..but I see benefit in incidents too...

I see it as a tool to produce/support a commodity...not an actual commodity in itself.

It was rather tough with the archive site blocked here at work.... A couple of the answers were a little ambiguous too, oh well.

Speaking of small...I see one of these wandering around out my way NW of Fort Worth... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isetta

ransomware is pretty cruel...but again those with backups should not be too concerned. Apple and Dongles. It is a way to get residual income. It is not the main product where they get most of their money...it is the accessories and monthly subscriptions that rake it in. The hardware is just a vehicle with which to deliver…

The ring video doorbell is okay... To store video you have a monthly subscription. It can be quite busy with notifications if you have a fair amount of traffic. 

Well crud....I like vizio tv's and spent a chunk for the one I have. I think and now I need to go back to amke sure I had not turned on the smart interactivity function. I was considering one or 2 more... I will have to register my disdain with the company and their business practices while asking for a percentage of the…

While a step in the right direction, please look at and vote up https://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/2655 This takes the concept several steps further and could be applied to everything. Define your window in one place and associate servers, groups, applications, alerts, etc. to it. The common and critical part is defining…

just think if you added bacon....

I keep warning some people that I can replace them with a small perl script..they never seem to get it.
