The hardest part of this that I run into everywhere I go is finding a dollar amount to associate with the IT service. That's the comparison any business leader wants to see. I can tell them that a T1 costs $500 per month, but if they can't tell me how profitable a remote site is, how do I know if a T1 is the right…

rschroeder​, Have you seen the latest hardware from Cisco? Cisco Cloud Services Platform 2100 - Cisco , you pick and choose what modules (router, switch, IPS, firewall) and licenses you want to build a device that can do what you want/need. And the configuration is pushed down to it once it registers with a controller.…

I understand this post is about Site-to-Site issues, but I'm also struggling with Remote VPN sessions. I have double and triple entries. D

Leon, this is fantastic! Could I ask you to take a suggestion back to the development teams? Once we've convinced management to monitor and have monitoring deployed, I'd love a way to add dollar values to services within Orion and have outage reports automatically calculate revenue loss based on service disruption? And…

I suspect they did listen, and the response is something new we have to purchase: Beta for SolarWinds "Deep Traffic Analysis" now available D

I voted you up, dude! I'm sorry I missed this request 3 yrs ago! I'd vote this us daily if I could!

BhmJeep, You already have reports that do this for you. And I've been tinkering with creating a "Subview/Tag" for my various node views. The "General Asset Inventory" report already has: * Node Name - typically this is the SysName ("Real Name") * Management IP - but I would also like to see a list of all IPs on the devices…

jreves​, The suspense is killing me! What we're working on for NTA post 4.6 (June 21st, 2019) D

I'm adding.... https://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/4250#start=75 D

Maybe you should speak with steven.melnichuk@tbdssab.ca​, apparently he has "twitchy, click happy fingers" that are looking to assist.

And this is why silverbacksays​ is an MVP and I'm only a lowly level 13. This is an awesome idea and I'm ashamed I didn't think of it.

dclick, Your idea about a single core, and my idea...same. I hadn't seen anyone else chime in on my notion, so I was beginning to think I was all alone is world and possibly crazy (which might still be a little true). D

The "other" team doesn't want to give up control...so we're left in the dark.

We are constantly being asked to add more water to the coffee maker! And I'd like to add...this goes for ANY DB! Especially, ORACLE! D

You'll need an MX...

Dude! You just made Trekkie's everywhere shiver with happiness. I bet you even speak Tradukka (Klingon). Klingon proverbs - Wikiquote

I don't think they are necessarily at "odds," but there are certainly things you have to consider and design concepts that need to be adopted. Traditionally, you place a firewall at each remote site for Internet protection and provide private line network access (WAN) to the data center... You have a somewhat false state…

Well stated! And I'd like to expand that to individual interface thresholds. I have some data replication links between data centers that are always near the saturation point. D

"What the!!" "Who the!!" "Why the!!" "Seriously!?!" "AGAIN!!!" LOL

I voted you up! Check this posting out... D

Incidentally, if you are still looking for customers to upgrade (from another posting), I have NPM 10.6 and NCM 7.2 installed, and would welcome the assistance. D

cliton1981, I'm a big fan of using dynamic groups as much as possible (just wish they would perform well in the new web-reporting of 10.6). The only thing constant about IT is change, and dynamic groups help automate our day-to-day administrative tasks (like updating all the maps on each view). Just adding a new node to…

I started with 1 alert and modified several accordingly, custom fields are also required. * We used custom field "City" and defined it as "<city> - Production" or "<city> - Development", etc. * We used custom field "Comments" and defined it as the environment like "Oracle" or "E-mail", etc. * Then I built alerts based on…

Ok, in an attempt to take a philosophical approach to this... AI is based on machine learning... Machine learning is based on algorithms written by lazy humans... Lazy humans write flawed code all the time, evident by the bug list for every program every written in the history of code writing... So, why do we believe AI…

Weathermaps are coming... HORRAY!

I was once told, "Athletes can't coach; Coaches can't play; and everyone else is just a ref, umpire, or spectator." While this is a generalization and not always true, it usually applies in most cases. It's takes an especially talented person to be a PM since they straddle the line between Athlete and Coach. And any job…

I would like to also request a feature so that I can vote on an enhancement multiple times...in this case, about 100,000 times.

I'm a little reluctant to even ask why support requested this FR with Network Insight for Cisco Nexus coming in the next Beta, but I'll vote it up. https://thwack.solarwinds.com/docs/DOC-176899#start=525 D
