Question 13's video has awful captions from google's auto-captioning as well Please improve!

I agree with this for basically any list of items, there needs to be a search option if the results are going to contain more than 10 items. That includes manage dependencies as well. I'm aware that the global search is coming, so maybe that will help here.

darcydressell44​ you can use either view limitations or account limitations to do this. I use account limitations and filter to %name% to set up a particular group with a view of whatever they need. It filters everything on the page including alerts/events/node tree.

Sorry aLTeReGo‌, no luck. These are devices with one discovered IP address.

That may also require a fr

I am unwilling to consider a nest after they stopped working - Nest thermostat owners left without heating after software glitch - Telegraph Meanwhile, I might get an ecobee instead. Nest is an IOT device that depends on cloud updates. Even if you vLAN that off that's just about as bad. IOT in general is going to sit in…

I figured it literally describes what we're doing. Otherwise you end up with something like a custom property for schedule and then need to unmanage during the maintenance schedule and that's not ideal.

We're going to be looking at ACI in the next 1-2 years. This might be good to consider vs tetration.

I think the value of SWUG's goes beyond measure. It is truly awesome to not just learn new things, but also discuss everything with folks who know it. As an MVP, it's even more of a bonus to be able to go to these events. I enjoy it so much that I may fly to a second one, just so I can go to more than one (and see…

sja​​, NCM doesn't have to be the repo bank. While it does have TFTP and SFTP_Root folders, if you point the firmware repo to a share (say: read only, managed securely, etc) - it doesn't become the repo. The issue is that even if that's the case, it will still *transfer* to network equipment via TFTP currently - no other…

This is exactly correct. ecklerwr1​ I faced the same questions when I stacked the pollers. Keep in mind, that solarwinds supports up to 3 stacked pollers on a single server, so if you have the hardware/resources to handle it, that can be ideal for a ton of reasons. When we hit about 10k elements our poller started to take…

I think Crypto is inevitably part of our future as noted. What part? Who knows. A lot of practical parts of crypto have not exactly been successfully implemented yet. I think one of them I'm waiting on is for one of the cloud providers to enable some sort of node sharding for crypto in a fashion different than VM's today,…

This is both understandable and humorously a little bit silly in having a FR for each.

I could actually see mrs.alterego​ making a badge for something like "You along with 25 other people deserve credit for this FR", lol.

Yeah I felt the same. Especially with it showing an image of appstack. I kept looking like "Since when can we look at appstack historically from X days ago?" serena​ should that be a thing?

HerrDoktor​ actually this isn't the default send. You could always do that. Go to the default send under settings. Creating alert -> email was not the problem, it was making everything canned work out of the box without it having to be a specific email address.

Step 1-3 of alerting: 1: read through all the existing configured alerts 2: turn them all off 1 by 1 3: read them as you turn them off to understand what they do Then you can get to considering turning on alerts.

There are already bots that can detect fake news quite accurately, in a variety of environments. Same thing with fake reviews and/or fake tweets, etc. It's sad, but the reason for this is both a: profit motive and b: lazy reporting.…

You knew something like this had to happen eventually. Let's just hope they actually recognize parts other than just network management. It seems stuff like SAM, LEM, UDT are not considered when I look at things like Gartner, etc. Like the only focus is the core NPM module or something?

jblankjblank​ we should have a webex for this!

I enjoyed the results of the word a day challenge, and found a ton of interesting things to read therein. Nice work adatole​ !

Great way to say "You must pay forever!" to drive people to alternatives

This has always been true across every org. If you defend a silo/refuse to change, at some point you're going to be behind everyone else. I've not found it being specific to any function nor age - it's more specific to a type of personality. Some of them can be eventually brought up to speed and some will defend their…

tdanner​ any updates on this stuff after my past discussions regarding custom properties for groups on network atlas maps?

I'm not really digging wording on question 8 and I don't work with F5's at all so question 5 was confusing for me too. Glad to see some challenge nonetheless, I suppose.

have you gone to, say firmware vulnerability settings and hit validate? Does it succeed? If not, you might have a permissions issue/restriction.

Fact checking is the most interesting to me after the last few podcasts from you are not so smart on the backfire effect. https://youarenotsosmart.com/2011/06/10/the-backfire-effect/ TLDR version: people are not going to be willing to look at debunked facts and trying to present them (without them being very prevalent)…

I'd love this, it could tie to perfectly!

Are you thinking like the concept of an alert bar/notice bar? Or just pinning a single component?

jblankjblank​ one thing I've realized I'd like to see mapped is actually the relationship between a node and it's alerts. Maybe it should be it's own separate view but it'd be nice to have a map of alert hierarchy.
