Some tools do use TCP session setup time to make a guestimate of network latency based on the timings of the syn/ack. There are some nice tools available, but usually very expensive.

Some employers are funny that way

Mine loaded fine, and I'm all green so far this month!

No just US only

Sounds like the rig we use for walleye. Works great! I fly fish a lot, it's all catch and release.

Anyone ever get this working?

I liked Nortel's BCN router and all of the BayStack stuff back in the day. I put one of the first switched ethernet backbones in with their Baystack's 5000 chassis. Their tool Optivity worked well also. Used that for our network core for years then switched over to Cisco.

I won't mention the manufacturer, but one of my co-workers phone just went dark for three days. He left it on a charger on his desk and borrowed his wife's spare one while contemplating what to get next. After 3 days it suddenly woke up with a tone and said 'Updates Completed' It was the first update had received in a very…

Cristian Rodriguez uses VPN tunnel to tunnel under El Chapo's network.

That method works fine, I use it to embed non Solarwinds resources like Openview and Service Desk into my main dashboard.

Great write up. Thank you!

What's next? You never know. A long time ago I would spend endless hours writing code for a simple game like Space Invaders that ran real slow and and on a black and white screen. I told a co-worker that some day you would be able to interact with a game as if you were in a movie. I got a look like I was crazy. A few short…

The whole 'container' subject is very interesting to me and I'm still trying to get the concept of how I am going to be able to monitor these. I'm looking at these in a Linux environment and its just a bare minimum kernel with the application code running on it. There is no more full blown OS to monitor, nor will there…

We did this to provide a monthly, quarterly, and yearly scorecard as well as capacity planning. We had to outsource the coding but it only took a few weeks for the developers to create. They just mine the data out of the Solarwinds DB and they wrote a custom web front end for us.

Thanks, good points!

That is is an excellent idea. Sometimes I will go out and borrow an office at one of the hospitals just to interact with the staff and build relationships.

Try this in your lab environment first ! First load up the Solarwinds SDK on your machine and then ensure that machine is a managed node in Orion. It can be ICMP Only but make sure its in Orion. Get the SDK here and install it. https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/releases -Make a directory on the root of the C drive…

Thanks for the write up.

Did my review

Where can I get that SAM template? Or do I need to use WPM for that?

I like the suggestion rschroeder submitted The IT Darwin Awards. It would be nice it included one of your own mishaps. Tell a story of what is the closest you have come to absolutely melting down the network... or how you ended up in the CIO's office explaining your actions. It would also be neat if we could have a live…

I need a waterproof phone

Yea I saw what I did now. Dang! Blew my perfect month. Haven't used that feature much myself.

Gracias sqlrockstar Adios Invierno, bienvenida Primavera. Hola shorts y chancletas! En mi estada... Michigan

2ndz - close tie for Second.

Thanks for the post! I'm going to put a plug here for the Solarwinds Engineers Toolset. If you are going to be doing much with SNMP, here is a great collection of tools to get you going. If you want to take cahunt 's suggestion of leaning a tool a day, you have 14 free days to learn about SNMP. Network Engineer Software…

Planning on upgrading soon
