dev-ops is one. the whole VM movement is another...IBM has been doing it longer.

Interesting... I can see opportunities in building queries or polling constructs in containers...depending on the started io constraints, it may be better than spinning up multiple powershell instances for many queries. Then if you could remotely fire off a container (for polling on a remote server), it may be cheaper than…

weather does impact the world of copper twisted pair...all it takes is a leak and/or a nicked insulation.

Good points...but one more to add. Have the right project manager on the project. They need a good understanding of the environment, people, processes, and standards in play.

I agree splunk consumes logfiles and provides analytical data in ways that many products can only dream of. Trying to get that analytical data out and into other tools is not as fun or easy. It doesn't quite share well with others...

Just had a chance to look at the burnout frameworks...Interesting stuff. Looks like I need to incorporate some of those ideas into my life.

I agree...

not to mention vulnerabilities and compatibility issues...

#bumpsquad Wednesday Bump!

I have been out of the loop this last week....new mission ?

As you mentioned, because we are on the wire we are targets. Those who have been hacked and those who haven't yet been hacked. In my personal life, you have to deal with two type of hackers...those looking for info to gain money and those doing it for fun (kids). Since I have kids/wife that download without caution, their…

I agree it is a good tool...I would also tend to think it is underutilized in most environments. Thank you for posting this.

Way to go kevincrouch4

Interesting...I started my IT career at RadioShack...Tandy Data Processing.

I think that we have forgotten it needs to be Pastrami enabled.

So how is the federal IT manager any different then a non-federal IT manager in this instance ?

We have a NOC that is semi integrated into the servicedesk. Thus there is a loose separation of duties. They are all pretty good about routing the tickets to the proper group. The key is to have an educated consumer that can open their own tickets and assign them to the proper group to begin with. Then the techs get the…

Bumping it on Humpday !! #bumpsquad​

Congrats Leon Adato and naburleson !!

Any alert we propagate out based upon a snmp agent uptime counter being reset has the verbiage "Server xx has possibly rebooted". In a previous life we watched for a specific event in the windows system event log. Unix, you are able to issue a command line command to get the uptime...makes a nifty ssh command.

" it does however make the monitoring system one of the top talkers through out the network." Ahh...this is where agent based monitoring works best. It also reduces traffic and load on your polling servers. Either way you pay for monitoring in network traffic (polling engines and target nodes, fine for small shops or some…

One of the things about experience is that you can look back and think..what if I had done it this way instead...

the word "survey" is the link. Hover your mouse pointer of it to. It is not a underlined link.

yep...once I understood how it worked it made sense. It just messes with the heads who don't understand it.

That is good !

Well Congrats to rschroeder​ then !!

We had to deal with this in our 5000+ store environment in a past life.... A little SNMP, ARP table data, MAC addresses, a little vendor info, and some perl allowed us to find them and reduce risk...

Just wait a month then you'll have less snow....can't say it is because of Al Gore though. I think it is likely the changing of seasons that will bring less snow...you know, seasonal global warming on a hemispheric basis.

I can't believe it hasn't been bumped yet this morning bump !
