Congrats, @"jacob.rentz". That look like a great prize. Let us know how it works out for you. Congrats, again.

Congratulations to all the winners this month.

Congrats @"scottpogi"! I have the "other" backpack, but understand this to be a fine prize. Congrats, again.

Congrats, @"dkeyser", on the weekly winner of the Hover Pen. That looks like a great prize and conversational piece for the office desk or engineering work bench. Congrats on being selected.

We utilize a combination of our upstream providers SW instance for our network monitoring, our on prem connection traffic flow, in combination with external connection monitors for cloud platform monitoring. 

Congrats, @"tmontgo1"!! Enjoy the D&D bundle with family and friends over the holidays and new year!

Congrats, @"dealton.lyman", on your win for the Puzzle Down week! Great Job!

Congrats, @jasonstak2079! Please let us know about how that works out for you!!

There is no "db team" within our organization. There are several who are good with COTS software products which have been purchased with vendor "support." N o one has a full grasp on the databases which are here in this sprawled-out landscape. Just getting a real handle on our landscape's contents.

"CRITICAL to every success" is the only answer! Silos of information, as we have seen pointed out in this forum and broadly practiced in all areas of businesses, only hamper growth efforts. Concealing or hiding information to oneself defeats EVERY business growth model of an organization. When we listen, eventually we…

Great Tasks for all IT-Pros and N/S Admins. Thank you for the challenge, @"KMSigma.SWI" and THWACK Power-Up Support!

The answer to this inquiry is a bit strange from this constituent. I want to see the cost more efficiently align with small company interests. We do enjoy and enrich our environment based upon the products we are able to afford. However, the cost per unit is not a winning stroke. As a cooperative membership, non-profit…

Maybe I have not had ENOUGH caffeination prior to diving into this new school session. @"the_ben_keen", the Week 1::Day 1 challenge suggests to this reader that there will be radial boxes with two answers to the parts of the inquiry, or the possible answers should be checkboxes to select the "part A answer" and "part…

Congrats, @"chipperrocks10". Let us know how that Portable Monitor works with your setup. Pictures are always welcome. Great job, and again congrats!

Congrats, @"tmichael" and @"carriv" on winning the weekly and monthly (respectively) prizes! Enjoy the fruits of diligent tasking accomplished. This is a fun ride. Congrats, again.

I am troubleshooting hardware and network operations issues without Hybrid Cloud Monitoring. The features noted provide much needed insight into our environment, including communications between application clients and servers, and related network traffic on the network for each. These give us tools to identify issues when…

You are correct! I overanalyzed the Q, which is the challenge of the under-administration of maximum-caffeination intake. Thank you for your kindest correction.

Hey!! @"ahawkins72", congratulations on winning the prize for week #2. Great job. Have fun with your prize and knowledge.

Congratulations to all the prize winners for the August Monthly Mission. What a way to get "back to school" ! Start the day with a healthy dose of caffeine and a stimulating puzzle (a.k.a. SYSADMIN Summer puzzle was great---@"the_ben_keen" that was a great job by the team). I always attempt to unravel the puzzling inquiry…

Check the url of the ERROR in the address line. If you remove the "referenced" portion of the URL, you will gain access to the Hint URL and it does work. However, the link is malformed in the question. Jul 20.

Oracle is the main stay (60%) for our business systems. Our Support systems use MS SQL about 30% of our environment, with MySQL, PostgreSQL, Mongo and Firebird rounding out our the environment. And I know with which dbms the Dev-Ops are experimenting.

When there exists lack of insight into a platform for which communication are critical, then monitoring fails our customers. When business operations are dependent upon hybrid communications, the bottleneck and single point of failure becomes the service provider. That is unacceptable. Customers and vendors depend upon our…

The best part of many of the inquiries is the responses to the 'correct' answers. I love it. Thanks.

Good morning! Congrats, @"akhasheni", on winning the third week prize. Great job. That portable monitor may actually work as a "watcher" for some of your SW dashboards. Have a great day and congratulations.......enjoy!

WHEW! What a challenge. To round out the first half of the year and in preparation of the greatest holiday of freedom, this has got to be one of my favorite T-Monthly Missions! Throw it on the grill/griddle (BACON!! BACON!! BACON!!), some of these were very challenging and stretched the mental matter beyond the standard…

Hey, @"trilobite_rex", congratulations on winning the Solo Camping Stove in the 1st week round of prizes. Enjoy the knowledge and the grilled feast which follows a job--well done! Congratulations @"trilobite_rex"!

I want to congratulate @demigod314 for winning the first week prize of this monthly challenge. Good job and enjoy the spoils of a task set well executed! Congrats, again.

And to the Grand Prize winner, @"tosborne03". What more may be said that "portable, theater screen" for your mobile project delight. Whether in the backyard, at an empty office space, or in the cave retreat for the weekend. What a treat for projecting games, streaming movies, or just coding in "SUPER SIZE FONT" so that…

Good morning, @"kpina"! I am curious about the information presented herein. Is this "THWACK Monthly Mission" or is it a "THWACK Summer Mission?" Just curious because the banner fo9r the Mission Rules include, " it will remain open until August 2, 2023 at 11:59 p.m. CT." in the presentation. I pray that is a misprint and…

@"gumsta", Congrats on the Self-Sustaining desktop aquarium. That looks like a prize for display in an open area for shared enjoyment. Congrats again.
