@naveensingh43 Your support made all the time and effort feel worthwhile. You backed what I was doing in a massive way, and I genuinely appreciate it. I honestly can’t thank you and @vinay.by enough 🤝 To be honest, I never expected my work to make any kind of difference or encourage engineers to look at things differently.…

I already miss the World Tour in London 😢 Hope you all have an amazing time!

😂 I know, I’m just stress-testing the MVP onboarding process before the NDAs land. So far, the banter layer has excellent resilience 🤭

A few jokers in the MVP ranks already… clearly I’m in good company 😂 Looking forward to working with all of you. Hope you’re ready for what I’ve got cooking 🍳

You nearly had me drafting my “former invitee MVP” LinkedIn post 😂❤️

Thank you friend, and you too 😜

You too mate 🙏

Thanks, really glad it helped. I’d be interested to see what you build for the network team :)

Thank you, mate. This one was special because it gives engineers clearer context on what to do next, based on defensible evidence :)

I really hope @SolarWinds is watching this space. The platform already has the data; the opportunity is in shaping it into clearer context, stronger evidence, and more defensible actions for engineers and customers. SaaS has its place, but self-hosted SolarWinds is still the real powerhouse for this kind of work. The…

I have a similar problem with SQL/SWQL-based alerts You can prove historical evidence fairly well. For example, a small node widget could show the distinct alert types that have triggered against that node, volume, or interface over the last 90 days. That at least gives you evidence that the object has been seen by…

Thank you, that’s really helpful. That route sounds like the cleanest fit for a small, safe lab. Really appreciate it

No worries at all, the egg appreciates the Grumpy Human guidance. I’m really just trying to keep this completely separate from employer/customer environments so I can test patterns cleanly without production baggage 🛄

I’m going to follow this one as well. If possible, please keep us updated on the outcome from support, as it would be useful to know what they find 😊

WOW, Massive thank you to the THWACK team. I genuinely never win anything, so seeing my name next to Prize 1 made my day. Really appreciate the effort that goes into these community missions, Looking forward to putting the Lenovo Armored Backpack to good use. Thanks again, THWACK crew.✌️

there may or may not be a small THWACK easter egg hidden in the rain... @amore1329 ✌️

Thanks All, I really appreciate it 😊 @vinay.by, your thought process on the execution is correct already. No custom JavaScript or external hosting services are involved. Taking a step back from SQL, CSS, HTML, or anything technical, the method I’ve been deliberately including across these examples is: Evidence → State →…

If I can be honest for a moment, and I might be wrong here - that’s fair - the 77% visibility figure is the one that really stuck with me. Not because it is surprising exactly, but because it feels very real. For me, visibility is not just about whether data exists somewhere in a platform. It is about whether teams can…

Survey completed 🫡 Nice to see SolarWinds asking for honest feedback on the messaging. The line that landed best with me was “This is what you’re capable of now.” That feels closest to how I see SolarWinds when it is used well. It is more than just collecting monitoring data; the real value is in how teams shape that data…

The more I think about it, the compass emoji feels strangely fitting. Observations provide the signals, evidence establishes where you are, state gives that position meaning, and action provides direction 🧭

Thank you both! Honestly, seeing this working as part of a wider set of operational dashboards is so cool and makes me genuinely excited about where it can go. The interface flow is only one part of a broader evidence-led observability framework and operational model 🧭

Small milestone today. The SolarWinds series has now passed 2,000 views across the full set. What started as a few dashboard ideas has turned into a wider conversation around evidence-led monitoring, operational state, and how we make SolarWinds tell a clearer operational story. Really appreciate everyone who has viewed,…

Using polling completion alongside CPU, memory and packet loss, with a safe margin to ensure nodes are only moved onto clearly healthy engines, feels like a sensible way to reduce manual overhead on larger estates. Nice additions 👍

Very cool, good job guys 👍 making an investment in custom properties are definitely the move for scaling these dashboards they are really the spine of the platform

Thanks John, I really appreciate that. I love building dashboards, so the idea of a competition sounds great. I have been experimenting with some new motion techniques recently, including a dashboard that progressively assembles itself as the page loads ✌️ Maybe this is my next THWACK post 🤔

Thank you, really appreciate you following and supporting the series throughout 👍

Thank you, I really appreciate the support throughout the series. Very glad the posts have earned a place in the bookmarks 🙂

Welcome to thwack, @mariefab Great to see someone joining from Cork. I’m Irish myself, although I live in London these days, so I had to say hello. Looking forward to seeing you around the community

I have just realised I have been scrolling up and down the interface list watching the different lanes light up 😂 I swear it was not more than ten minutes 🫣, but it is ridiculously satisfying watching the directional posture move across the interfaces in real time

Thanks @vinay.by really appreciate it my friend. 😎 I thought the series was finished, but this one was too much fun not to share
