2018 bump

I do not trust my ISP's at work nor at home because they have given me reason to have grave concern in this post-snowden era and we live in a country with subpar internet service nationwide.

I agree with the custom properties, but sometimes you get big enough that even a custom property isn't really everything that fits your purpose. It's all up to how you choose to organize your own information.

They're literally working on rolling out a major revamp to it, sotherls​. https://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/8577#start=25 - see where it says "what we're working on"? That means they're going to put it into the next release/major release - although there's no timeframe for when that is.

yep, two proxmox instances and growing. Plus it's fairly open source with a good api, so people could quite a bit with it.

Well, you get what you pay for, especially when you're paying another vendor to do it for you!

I'm going to link to this on in hopes we can add visibility.

Today's question, and answers have an outcome that we, uh, need clarification on: How much is the magic wand, and why don't we have poetry like that? Especially with options such as: A sql query poorly written the database shall be smitten as shall the query engineers who will feel the shame for many years @"kpina" maybe…

I get woodpeckers here that hang like that off my birdfeeders and keep the finches away

I suppose I haven't been paying attention to that part as explicitly, but this time was a bit more hidden. Don't know, still a good thing to get people to read/understand/improve.

Well done

I'd still love to see this some day. Maybe not a small UI fix, but still useful.

meech​ small UI/ big UI?

I'd like to see it, but I don't know what it'll take I mean, credentials are truly split between so many different modules currently, it makes it hard to keep track .

oof, tough choices. Going with Total Recall since no Predator to choose

Hmm. Week two for me, still looking like no demos yet again. Not going to guess at these questions without the demo so rip this month I guess.

I suppose it's better than it being basically dead but unacknowledged - it's options like opgenie or twilio (API based) or pagerduty (I'm paying you to do everything for me) for most companies, probably.

I'm referring to how the top 5 conversations (endpoint-centric) resource stops populating when you aren't polling via SNMP anymore, on nodes where I did have that information previously.

zackm​ I wouldn't mind hearing about your zen of alerting theory someday, actually

serena​ moves fast

I'm referring to within the demo, Jfrazier​. It actually says "Performance Analysis" instead of "Perfstack".

You had me wondering what happened, as I saw the quiz closed. Good thing for the comments!

I feel Devops is pretty crucial to having anything beyond sysadmin in your toolkit, especially when it comes to things like solarwinds in general. Mostly because things like SQL are not something you can handle by simply knowing the solarwinds suite - although it can certainly introduce you to it. However, all of this…

The only response to being "too geek", is that you simply have not geeked enough, mcam​

I've done close to 500 network devices through firmware upgrade. The only issues I've had are security impersonation but nothing involving TFTP/SCP load, because firmware upgrades only go 1 at a time. What are you talking about, sja​ ?

giving this a fairly needed bump. This would be better than 5-ish templates or one custom one, given how Citrix XenApp functions.

I literally want: a: fields that are displayed on the page to have a copy button next to them for half of this (or an equivalent dropdown) and b: a click here to screenshot for the average user who doesn't have screenshot software or understand how to save a PDF, or the 8 million times print to PDF doesn't work with a…

I'm not sure I can tell, my activity history is...too active? Would we benefit from making a FR to let us have a filter within our activity history for specific types of things? I also have a few that just say "undefined" so I have no idea if that's this or not. Also what Jfrazier​ mentions as well. Maybe mrs.alterego​…

It still took me a second, but nice.
