I've worked several places where we had internal charge centers and set costs for services. On the one hand, there was *a bit* of the positive - getting people to make rational decisions about the level of service they wanted. But most of the time everyone realized it was all funny-money - taking money out of your right…

Me too.

One of the benefits of being an MVP and contributor is that you get to see content "early". However, I never thought anyone really DID. You sir, get 1million "Leon" points for your diligence, interest, and support. Unfortunately that won't help you beat aLTeReGo‌ on the Thwack board, but it ranks you very high on my…

While this doesn't "fix" your request or the larger issue (more granular user rights) you CAN do this via the Orion SDK. These posts explain it in greater detail: Mute Alerts in SolarWinds via Powershell Muting alerts via the Orion API

For everyone commenting on the March 12 question - I was just trying to add a bit of cute (albeit shameless) promotion for the webinar, which is happening tomorrow. The March 12 question requires NO information from the webinar (since it hasn't happened yet!). Thanks as always! - Leon

I noticed that too. Just corrected day 5 and the community team is looking into it.

I can't disagree - this is truly my dream job. And if you folks can enjoy some of that with me vicariously, the joy just becomes greater when we all share in it!

Well, I've already talked about the I.T. lessons in Dr. Strange. It makes you wonder, doesn't it, what else you could find. (he looks pensively into the camera). Which is my way of saying "yes, this is an ongoing idea I'll be pursuing."

That's not what I'm seeing. I see members of the domain group named with their login and logoff times. The image below, the "leon.adato" account is part of domain users, which is permitted to log in on the system in question. No accounts are explicitly given permissions.

Agreed. "disfrutes" was a new word for me. Tambien, gracias a bobmarley​ por palabras nueva!

Our educational conversations have been largely limited to your love of bacon.

Yes. We built in an extra 24 hours for last weekend (Christmas) and this weekend (New Years).

I agree, but I'm not sure that ties into DevOps as much as it does CMDB in general (which is still worthwhile, mind you. Just not part of this thread).

THank you for the kind words. I will say that IOS images are not that difficult to come by. Especially the common ones like the one I used in this guide.

The interesting thing was that I wasn't plugging anything in those comments. I actually meant the ability of IT folks to think in terms of the business. To do the translation from tech to revenue-cost-risk. To be comfortable with both the language and the culture of business interactions. But sure, SolarWinds can help with…

It's back up now. Sorry for the confusion.

Ticket 1 goes to you! Ping me at leon.adato@solarwinds.com and we'll figure out how and where to meet up in 2 weeks. Congratulations!

While you certainly can implement your own OID for hrsystemuptime instead of the default; and while you can now (in 10.7) replace one for the other... I also have never understood why Solarwinds hasn't changed this one. It seems like a no-brainer. Does anybody actually WANT the agent restart as the source for uptime? I…

Well hopefully you'll be able to join us online. But even so, the videos of all the sessions will be posted immediately after THWACKcamp, so you can "attend" later if pesky things like work get in the way. And as always, if you have questions about what you see and hear, toss them out on THWACK and we'll be ready.

I wasn't being ironic at all. While our goal at SolarWinds is to provide feature-rich tools, we know we can't be all things to all people nor can we provide every single function under the sun (at least not at an affordable price point). Any reasonably sized enterprise is going to have multiple toolsets, if only for the…

SAWEEEET! Look for your points soon.

Ditto. I'm really hoping the next set of improvements includes serious updates to trap handling.

Just pointing out that if custom properties are mandatory, then filling them out needs to be part of discovery, rediscovery, and "list resources" actions. but I'm fully in support of this.

We are always looking to meet up with friendly faces. In fact, I'm going to be at InterOp in Vegas May 2-6 with kong.yang​ (as attendees! No booth duties to tie me down!) and then at CiscoLive in Vegas July 10-14 with patrick.hubbard​, Dez​, and a few other amazing folks. So if you plan to be in the neighborhood,…

Amazing work!! You should bundle this up into a .OrionReport file and post it to the ContentExchange. Those Thwack points don't grow on trees, you know!

IIRC, AIX has a delightful "feature" that adding SNMP support requires re-compiling the entire kernel. It also requires some code from IBM that (again, IIRC) you must pay them for. So if it's not present on the box now, getting SNMP support is a non-trivial task. Agents are far and away easier in this situation. Anyone…

Just posted to AdatoSystems Monitoring. Thanks for the chance to show our support and earn some online lucre.

What I found - both through this survey and through my own interactions with friends and colleagues in the federal space - is that SOME agencies are very VERY solid on their BYOD and mobile policies. Aaaaaaand some are very NOT solid. The issue is one of scope. With 4 million employees, and the stakes so high, lack of…

Those are some amazing points you bring up. I know that in school, "adaptations" can be given to students (my daughter had several during her school career including extra time, the ability to use assistive devices like calculators, the ability to take the test in a separate location, etc.) but I don't know whether such…
