As always that last question of the challenge is always so difficult o.O!

For sure it's more of a UK thing I'm pretty sure?

Traceroute and ping with icmp has lost favor years ago when people started using icmp as a covert channel to exfiltrate data through firewalls. I'm curious how netpath actually works? I've been thinking a lot about it lately.

Oh... I'd find a place!

Right they call me the SolarWinds SME here and it's just one of many "jobs!" Ironically not really my main one either o.O!

It's seem to me it's going to really really big... we're investing big time in ML/AI and also Quantum technology.

Yeah it's really disappointing to me a long time user of SunOS then Solaris. Oracle really ruined Sun. The Oracle DB licensing stuff and attempts to monetize java are really turning me off on anything Oracle does. Get this because of the number of Cisco UCS blades we have in our virtualization environment Oracle said we…

One things for sure... everything in Orion is dependent on the SQL Server performing. I often wonder the same thing as you Eric.

Just the fact that it's Windows and Linux in one tool is a big deal @"KMSigma.SWI" !

Let's hope the new network atlas for NPM can draw a little better this next version.

lol yeah I have 4 of them at least... the first 4.

This is mandatory for us under RMF. It's not a choice really and you can lose your ATO if you don't do it.

If that's your dog in your profile you've got a nice looking dog @"zennifer" ! Dang the bright blue eyes wow!

My week 2 day 3 shows green checkmark and the sentence in the post has almost verbatim to the multiple choice answer. I will say without checking the article more than one answer sounded like it could be correct to me... just sayin'. This question, this month, was a little harder for me to pull the trigger. I'm not sure…

We merged with another company division and I had to fight off the WUG crowd which we got over years ago again!

Can't use SaaS for most of my networks but it's always nice to have options!

We use custom developed in house application for this but considering that we have many other modules I've always considered NCM.

Wow that was quick start into another mission!

Training is pretty important this is what made me become a CISSP years ago. At the right employer they'll even pay for the test and dues. Great article on the simple things people take for granted. Bill

Hopefully the new upcoming mapping in NPM (that's in beta now) will make some of this not necessary.

The licensing can be tricky with so many different open source license models. We use software called blackduck I think it's called to scan through source and look for any open source so it can be identified and the licensing can be sorted out.

I'm having some issues with some primary pollers writing to vcloud virtualized SQL Servers... ours has never had a much memory as they show in that pdf... 128G they say... although I guess SQL server will eat any memory you give it.

That's pretty neat actually... I didn't know Motorola made one of those for their phones. I work at a company that used to be owned by Motorola. Back in the day Motorola did a LOT of cool things.

Everything is lean now... I guess out with the old six sigma and in with the new... we relabel stuff every couple years.

Yeah it's bad news...

I'm not sure what that means then? One isn't an answer and it sounds like counting the additional one is also wrong? I'm totally lost on this one??? Is unreachable a warning state?

Android would be the easiest!

I've never seen this SQL Sentry before... lots of tools to choose from for database now.

Lol this just made me think of one of my favorite websites: Cooking For Engineers :: Index Nothing like grilling skills written by engineers!

Does this require storage resource manager to work?
