Sometimes a script seems like just the way to massage data coming into an environment. And then another. Over years, you have a bunch...and they make sense because you wrote them. And then you leave. Similarly, custom properties can meet a need at a point in time. And then the purpose for their existence may change or go…

You're giving me flashbacks of playing Tank and SubHunt.

Couldn't have said it better myself: Alex Soul wrote: Me personally - I am here because I am not on fb (too much noise there) ... Thwack helps me to relax my brain a bit and have some fun with like-mined geeks, like yourself Regarding Template Views, after recreating the same alerts/ views/ reports across sixstems (views…

This would be immensely helpful.

I would really hope federal networks aren't allowing fitness wearables to connect. The whole bring your own device thing has some merit, but I can easily draw the line on that one.

Completely agree.

More W's: Which other enterprise customers have done this and what pain did they have? Although you can't plan for everything, you can learn from others' misfortune. Not always best being on the bleeding edge. Or for that matter finding out that a known issue affected someone else and could have been identified before…

Is this covered? Aside from status, are there other perks of being a THWACK MVP? (https://thwack.solarwinds.com/docs/DOC-194206) ... 1 free trip to a SolarWinds User Group of their choosing per year ...

As awesome as this technology looks today, revisit it in 25 or 50 years and it will look like tin cans connected by string.

I once did a SolarWinds upgrade (two pollers, NPM/ SAM/ VNQM/ IPAM/ NCM) that I intended to start around 4 PM. External issues led to management rescheduling me for 6 PM. Every last piece of installation software seemed hosed in some way. Upon double-clicking, each one was immediately finished without seeming to have done…

Me too, as well.

It's as if he's saying, "Whoa, check out the flair on sqlrockstar's landyard"::

Six-and-a-half dozen of one/ 78 of the other?

In a few different jobs, we (network guys) would be asked for a packet capture when an application did not work. As if the capture, and no knowledge of how a system was supposed to work, was all one would need for any issue. Typically other avenues of troubleshooting would pause while networking team SPANd a port and…

Would you consider it shadow IT when people refuse to use email for communication and just want you to use Facebook? Or when a business opts not to have a web page, but instead to rely on a Facebook page? You certainly are at the mercy of Facebook in those situations, whereas individuals might have reasons for using the…

I greatly appreciate the transcript for the video. It's easier to justify the time spent answering the question. And keeps me from looking like 'that guy who's always watching videos'. In a cubicle farm, perception can be reality. If only every informational video out there had a transcript.

I've handled a data mine-ing coworker by shining a bright light on his actions. Dropping the guy's name in calls and emails with management (and management's management). While I can't compel a change in the behavior directly, a mutual supervisor somewhere certainly can. If given the choice between stalling out due to lack…

Yes, but I draw the line at watching a video. If they were made to be funny with good production value (like the Carl Sr. commercial for Carl's Jr. when they transitioned from frat house style commercials to wholesome), I could probably stomach them. (disclaimer--I thoroughly enjoyed the old and the new commercials, as…

So how can a summary page or report be created that leverages all information obtained from the Routing Resources? My summary pages still leverage the custom MIB polling I do for BGP since I am not yet aware of a way to show all BGP sessions that are active or idle (for all routers I monitor, so Node Details --> Network…

Took (and passed) the CEH yesterday. The 'Engrish' I heard about was definitely present. It did detract from making sense of some of the questions. The cert was pretty helpful in terms of opening my eyes to penetration testing that can be done. Most importantly, perhaps it will open some doors that may have been closed…

I know what you mean. Similarly, I hate when I receive a powerpoint file (one slide) instead of a short email with the same words as the powerpoint.

Was planning to go with this (since no answers seem right), but alas not a choice: 42

Has anyone ever gotten Linux running on XBox? I know with the oldest version there was a hardware hack and a software hack...and I benefit when I run Kodi (love it on Fire Stick). But is it possible on the latest versions?

So what does everyone do for CE? CEH last year got me 40 hours. Found a few 8 and 12 hour courses on Fedvte. Advanced threats, advanced Linux security, mobile device forensics. Knocked out 40 hours over last few months. I even held my nose and did a Windows course. Looking for free with a transcript, and that's about it.…

I guess network engineer is the most applicable title, but without an accompanying resume and conversation, it feels like such a generalization.

So how does the Slack channel invitation happen? Has anyone received that yet?

Seems we agree it's redundant. I agree (or take as a given) that I see the words 'slow network is part of the problem' and the words 'root cause'. Perhaps the redundant paths are not as fast as the path that is currently red, if it has caused 4 seconds of latency that are not present when on the red path. If calling the…

Watching the YouTube videos with captions enabled is hilarious. Especially if you're reading more than listening. Believe I saw 'Solomon' instead of SolarWinds. Just one of many Easter eggs in the captions. I want so badly to share what the captions said for the answer. I guess it was kind of a homonym, if three words that…

I had to create kind of a hack to support some coworkers who use my resource for interface utilization over a threshold for defined period of time. That way they are not responding to brief spikes. My SQL workaround includes a custom property ticket number, who acknowledged, and date/ time acknowledged. Ideally this would…

Attended a speech by Davis Scott Lewis aka David Lightman in movie 'War Games' this week and was a little surprised to hear that University of Montreal and University of Toronto led the world in AI research. Never would have guessed that, eh?
