I like that one Jfrazier​ perhaps a Height balanced AVL tree of Geeks! I love Computer Science! Data Structures and Algorithms AVL Trees

Amen to that @"paynecave"!!! Bill

I'm not sure yet... the table looks pretty sweet! You are correct though where to put it! I'm not a huge cornhole fan even though I grew up in the midwest (big cornhole area)... The fridge would be pretty cool on my desk... it is a solid state peltier cooler I think... good enough to cool down six cans stacked 2x3 on their…

woops the logo seems to go to this months challenge and not the home page anymore o.O! If you wanna get back home and you usually use the thwack icon you may need this: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/welcome

I'm mostly German so bring on the Pork & ***! The growler looks pretty good too! Bill 

These are all good things I think we all are facing. For me compliance is probably the biggest.

This is newer web alert specific it looks like as this used to work in 11.0.1?

I'm not sure Tim Cook has everyone's best interest in mind.

I can think of a LOT of things I'd tell myself if I could do it all over again. I have made some decisions that in hindsight might have been better done another way.

I've found it takes some serious work to keep your dashboards current if they are related to say your WAN nodes as they are always changing. Maybe something dynamic with groups would be good where they could auto-populate!

I use the tools every day... Orion, SEM, Syslog Server all to help with maintaining our security stance and being ready to pass DCMA audits. As you know most recently trying to get so I can use SEM on smaller Information Systems to help satisfy that one ultimate goal of RMF - Continuous Monitoring! SEM keeps getting better…

I have to say... a lot of the cutting edge development work in Orion is being done right here in SAM! Serious props to aLTeReGo ik he's a big part of what keeps this moving and honestly it's helping drive the rest of the Orion in many ways! These agents that can take over for main poller inside DMZ's over one port push or…

They won't commit to dates but my guess is June/July sometime possibly much sooner.

With some new special clouds provided by AWS and Azure with direct fiber attachment to a POP this may some day be acceptable for some of our workloads.

Take your Information System through the Risk Management Framework process for certification (which mean every app, every device, the physical room... ALL ARE STIG'd... along with the many many required documents which must be provided) then tell me whether it's secure or not. Nothing is perfect but the new model and RMF…

That sounds rough sparda963​ I can really empathize and feel your pain on this stuff... I hope things get better and work out one way or another. I've kinda been in your situation before and if one things for sure... change will happen. Hopefully you'll find a better situation at some point.

That a good arrangement rschroeder​!

I think I'll be doing same thing Chris is suggesting in production. Another reason is to move to Server 2012 and get off 2008R2 SP1 at the same time. I'm a little concerned about the things rschroeder mentioned though... I have some legacy reports and many alerts I'd rather not lose. It seems these are two of the most…

As a matter of fact I could see how this tool could help with documentation, analysis, and programming the data transformations. So what are we really going for here? Bill

Even though SEM is a security tool... I often use it to look for problems and help troubleshoot problems as well. Bill

I saw this and knew it would be right up your alley! They have a new zenmuse drone camera that was a partnership with flir as well! DJI will let developers fully customize its drones

I have to admin DR and business continuity aren't my favorit topics when I hear them and I'm a CISSP.

Thanks I was afraid to pull the trigger! Bill

Also I'm not sure what's up with you all... I didn't have any problem with today's question and it seems like you know what you're doing. (ie you have the right answer) The only think I can think is it might have something to do with caps or something??? I typed it all lower case I believe.

Wow that's nice. I've noticed one thing about this... only a handful of products will pull windows event logs in their native format which means you don't need agents to convert to syslog first.

I did ok this month but no mission master this year I don't think.

Yep and phones have to have their conference microphones disabled often.

The big win for containers is not needing an entire OS running on a hypervisor for many services, cross platform support (open source and products like VMware and MS), being able to move containers around almost anywhere and having a real standard everyone conforms to is pretty powerful. The security aspects of using…

We have a lot more people on thwack nowas well.

Looks like it was prolly fun though at least even if chicken wasn't so good!
