I see this is under HCO feature requests, but it would apply to SolarWinds Platform and Orion platform as well.

Well, this IS different. Last month we could at least get to the poll...

We need an AI bot to vet all the request for access to AI we are getting.

Did you choose ALL the correct answers?

My kid went from a chromebook at her old school to an ipad at her new school. She hates the iPad.

@the_ben_keen please do not give out any more prizes until you make sure you include everyone who answered the survey is included in the drawing. I'm not sure how anyone got the prize last week if there was no way to get credit for day 5.

Right off the bat I went to "A connection worth making". I checked that I have linked my customer portal account to my thwack account, but didn't find any egg. The clue says it should be in the instructions for the connection, but since it was already connected I didn't see any instructions. I disconnected my customer…

There are only two enhancements listed under the feature mentioned and one of those two is not one of the choices available.

So that's drone tacos for 2nd Breakfast?

At the top of the hint for day 17 it says "Monitoring virtual environments is a key capability of Hybrid Cloud Observability Advanced and is also available in a standalone module, Virtualization Manager (VMAN)". Apparently The Nutanix API credential can NOT be assigned when adding a Nutanix cluster to standalone VMAN for…

Expanded would make more sense, but that is not what it says.

The question for June 26 was "What VM-specific metrics does DPA collect to provide a complete VM and database health dashboard? Select ALL that apply." The reference mentions ALL the answers and they are ALL VM specific metrics, but it says "what we were looking for is..."! That is not what you asked for! A complete VM and…

Voted last week, still no green check mark...

I don't know why my comments always get flagged as spam or abuse. Really annoying.

Is it a trick question? Seems like there should be "xpa" inserted into the first word of option C on Day 9. 

Anyone have an alternate link for today's hint? My agency doesn't want me to see this one.

Selecting all then deselecting the ones that were obviously wrong worked for me. I'm no DBA but some of them just don't seem to be good advice.

Everything that is not explicitly excluded must be included. I would like my kitchen sink over there, please.

Select ALL that apply.

A grammar Nazi would know that an ellipsis has no more and no less than three dots "..." Five dots is improper grammar

The new "Pools" tab on the My Deployment page was rebuilt from the ground up. I can't seem to get my Additional poller pool configured right with the newly rebuilt version. When I set up the pool, I have one active poller and one standby poller, but when I complete the configuration it says they are both active. This was…

So I guess you have to know what database went GA in November 2019. I was also thinking that the GA in November was referring to a release of DPA. Our environment is still hovering between 2014 and 2016 databases so when the next release comes out is not really pertinent to my job (which is NOT even accidentally DBA). I'm…

I agree with byrona. I look at all the posts in this blog and they are all created by SolarWinds employees and mostly by Marketing. Where can I start a topic about questions I have on monitoring and alerting? In particular I wanted to ask about the content in the SolarWinds Lab Monitoring 201 episode, but not sure where to…

Reset please!

Yes, it helps for today's question, but I was actually looking for yesterday's. I took a stab at yesterday's (12/16) using the latest SAM release notes as a reference and got it right.

Assuming "Web" or not is irrelevant if you look at the two options for the answers. Can BOTH of the answers be right? Assuming one is right and one is wrong, what is the DIFFERENCE in the integration of the two products?

We often schedule major deployments to occur on Fridays at 5PM and some last throughout the weekend. Smaller changes and patches happen during a Saturday morning maintenance window from 5AM to noon. One of my team (often me) checks regularly over the weekend to see if anything broke. We then call the on-call IT manager to…
