Good notes Leon ! The note on VPN all the time is so very important these days...these big conferences/conventions are a huge draw for the nefarious waiting to prey on the unprotected devices out there. 

HP - Hopefully Patched

Good information...

Labor Day Bump !

yes

Thursday Morning rain bump...

Bringing the dead back to life - the undead

Shared services make sense for some things...email as mentioned is a good example. Common toolsets across teams is another example...something that helps one team manage an environment, allows another team or two have insight in that environment as well as tools to aid their development and troubleshooting while providing…

nope..a gerbil

real cpu's and virtual cpu's are not the same thing...

A spreadsheet from before spreadsheets were cool...that brings back nightmares..I mean memories.

Thanks for posting. I see this as a good thing for the shops that have all for components to utilize appstack properly.

AI ethics...hmmm. I hope some people read and took into heart the "Three Laws of Robotics" penned by Arthur C. Clarke. But then the question is, whose ethics are being embodied ?

There is a whole lot of should in there. Having the ability to track over time what talks to what and being able to know when there is a deviation from the "norm" is challenging. You have to have a known verified clean baseline with which to work from...or you will never know for sure.

I forgot to include the time component... When do the critical path jobs need to be finished...when do you tell the business side they are running late. What time does the business service have to be available to the customer facing side ? This all leads into SLA's and such for both notifications, ticketing, and business…

in addition to what you want to monitor and Why, but you need to include what you are trying to achieve in the end as a result of the monitoring.

Thanks for putting this into a tabular view...easier to figure out the differences.

It might need to include bacon !

My uncle who was a graphic artist could build an image pixel by pixel in photoshop and the result would look just like a photograph. Yes there are people that good.

We had tackled a few of those issues by defining are base message structure that the groups would use, we involved them in setting it up so everyone was on the same page. Of course following the 80/20 rule it covered 80% of the events. Everything else was custom and for lack of better term one-offs. If they couldn't play…

I'm in the same boat...4 hours of sleep and I got leeched.

First bump of the month of June....

I have seen them jump..4' straight up. They just don't seem to do it on the road though....of course then I'd have one on my lap on the motorcycle.

"everything old is new again"...rebranding and remarketing to make a buck.

One of my mantra's is "Thou Shalt Document"...this included comments in code. It must be 3 AM friendly. It sucks being woken up at 3 AM and dig through code to find out the programmer is of the mindset that the code is self documenting. In a prior life when we set up the original automated operations team we set up and…

Fortunately we seem to have a coordinated approach between the security team doing VA and the server teams regarding reports of patch levels and vulnerabilities. Change management has been pushed to the front as mandatory which I feel is a good thing. Thank you for your informative blogs in Geek Speak.

Actually it is about the person or group that discovers the vulnerability and what they do with the information.

Thanks Danielle !

HP Openview has/had a data warehouse for just this purpose. The last iteration of it I used was NNMi 9 or 10...it was the version where they had gone with the blue elephant UI. They ripped out the data warehouse (solid database) although some aspect of it was still around but had to be access via command line (it was a…

Another good list of articles to read. Biometrics...an interesting topic. For those who use a "fingerprint" for ID on their phone or pc always have an opportunity if there is any physical trauma to the representative digit. A cut across your "finger print" will nullify that way of secure access. I don't know of many that…
