That's only an issue if they decided that they must control everything themselves, which would be the definition of the problem.

While I get your idea byrona​, if this were true then we'd have this problem solved simply through VPN/passthrough services - yet it exists and many companies explicitly block VPN service (see: netflix). The issue tends to (strongly) remain, regardless. I don't know if people are aware of how exceptionally fragile internet…

better than people having to get WHD just to get the basic alerting functionality. I want to get WHD anyway at some point if I can, but I don't want that to be the prerequisite to make alerting work in a more functional way.

I definitely like that as an approach.

To give credit to the excellence that has come of thwack being good at what it is (H/T to meech​ and mrs.alterego​), finding like minded geeks who want to do amazing things with solarwinds or any equivalent - is exceedingly rare. Finding people who actually understand comprehensively what that means - not set and forget,…

I think it's a nice change of pace at the moment

I think part of it is that we have solarwinds employees who contribute to threads - and in helpful ways. Many forums and sites where people can comment/post are deathly afraid of building a community. See: sites with paywalls, sites that no longer allow comments, etc.

Can confirm. Montreal is legitimate foodie heaven, great downtown.

so how long should points take to be assigned? I have recieved none of the points for completing any of the september missions so far

Unpaid, probably?

I love to see this stuff move forward, honestly - I rely on good captioning for a huge number of reasons. People with good hearing/without still have use for captions in tons of scenarios (watching a movie with the SO while the baby is asleep). However, there is a huge difference between "Easiest scenario" and "toughest"…

I liked watching some of the accidental DBA's one, but from what I saw it looked like it was partially focused on non-DPA supported databases. edit/clarification: databases being viewed in things other than DPA.

Is it ok to generally think of this as service desk = SAAS and WHD = on prem, as far as general scope?

Agreed, 100%. No training/poor compensation? I'm gone. I've left one company over that to double my salary, exactly as you mentioned. There were other problems there too, but poor compensation and poor training were up there with being moved from an awesome manager to an awful one.

Keeping a computer up from 1993 is pretty awesome I think it speaks to the stability of a number of products/vendors, anyway. Also re: breaches, I believe I've seen a number of products designed not around specifically preventing breaches, but detecting *When* they're in progress. Cybereye being one I can think of off the…

It's been quite some time. Maybe we should get some more attention to this. #bumpsquad​!

I've done a lot working with NBAR. Tip to you fakeusername​, there's NCM scripts to help auto-update NBAR. It's only as good as long as it's being kept updated. jreves​ is involved with a lot of netflow/nbar stuff and would be great to reach out to when you have questions there, fyi. Groups are something you can script if…

ecklerwr1​ I was told senior management review required (basically = probably no. lol)

Has to be office space

I think you need to fix that, d09h​

It's not the SAM API. It's the regular API polling stuff. I'll write up an article for you folks.

On the nexus front, when cobrien​ was going NPM PM stuff, he introduced stuff to map out port channels on nexus equipment (was a NPM NCM tie) - which included a live search for port channels once the tab loaded for port channels. On non-nexus front, I don't know. That's probably a jason.carrier​ / jpetkevich​ thing that…

The problem isn't just orion, byrona . It's getting other people to understand what syslog is and how to not send 8 million unnecessary syslog messages where you even SW is warning you about table size.

I too have 9k's, what is missing @"feld4125" ?

Done. Great picture choices wabbott ​

Amen, sqlrockstar ! I had to deal with an admin who complained about slowness when he told SQL to allocate 100% of the memory and he blamed me for telling him to allocate 90% (which would have worked out to roughly the math you suggested). Glad to not be using that Frankenbox.

I'd say use multiple words instead of one, ala password complexity style.

Having read the article, this seems to be a very limited test environment. There are lots of scenarios where human hearing can currently beat what automatic transcription can do. Noisy environments, multiple people talking, all things completely unlike the synthetic testbed they've used can have very different scenarios. I…

I think this is also due to the same people being involved in the exploits most of the time, too.
