HECK YEAH. The current discovery works, but it could be improved. I like this - separating the profile (what) from the Network (where) - that alone would be a godsend. Some of the advanced filtering to monitor nodes is good, but I like where @"Deltona" is going with this. PLEASE CONSIDER HIS IDEA!

Not sure if any robot toy can stand against the might of Optimus Prime! 

Yes! - Please make it easier to sort and list specific ones on the pop up tool tips too. When you have lots of properties (we do) and lots of different uses (ditto) - having an easier way to sort them would be ideal. Ya know, this is one function that could use some love. I don't think the administration of them have…

hmm having more data added to netpath like traffic information? YES. Also the dynamic generated maps. 

Definitely find it useful for network troubleshooting, system/app troubleshooting and love it since you can combine metrics. Makes for very useful displays of what happened and when. Adding them to dashboards is another reason to use them. 

I think I see and agree with one of the common themes - time. Even with good upfront processes, its a never ending slugfest to remediate security and get other stuff done. 

Interesting idea. I like it. How do you plan to do this? Would it be based on field names/tags such as 'address' or 'firstname.' And finally - would be it be user configurable for individual source groups? Thanks Marc

But that is a big part of why I want AI. It can run through the data, linked some of it together and make the basic assumptions for me. Then I can decide if I need to look deeper and even where to start looking based on the evidence provided by the AI. The simple stuff it can handle, but the complex stuff - just doing the…

Wow! I am kinda humbled as the people here are the ones I turn to when things get 'weird.' I heard something about free coffee though? Is that a thing and where do I go to get it? And if someone says a pub with fresh Guinness, I might have to take that trip. 

It depends. Sometimes proactive - if the system and specific issues are well understood - you have predictive metrics and signs. I do not care if those signs involve measuring the perspiration on the lead engineers forehead. If that person is sweating - something is going wrong but it does not have a name or an incident…

YES. API activity needs this. Not just for service accounts, but a mix of troubleshooting and security events too. 

ok, I think you may have a separate question. If you want to access SolarWinds data via the SolarWinds api, then this is the correct thread. If you want to access the 4me api using SolarWinds to make the calls - that would best answered in the general forums, most likely under SAM (server and application monitor). If you…

At least a few of us admitted to being on the naughty list. lol.

Chuck Norris can. 

ooooh like both movies for different reasons. Minority Report is often overlooked, but they really tried to guess on the future tech - @"tinmann0715" commented about the ads. I remember hearing about some of the other tech like the non lethal weapons. Still gotta go with Matrix for the win. 

Never underestimate the ability of a human to create a bad query with awful and possibly irrelevant joins, not matter how good the db design or overall performance. Saying this a non-dba who has humbly asked a real dba to save me from myself. 

So, I heard that everyone who finished it on day one gets free beer! Or at least bragging rights... 

It's baaaack! If you are new to SolarWinds or THWACK, this is a free online event that is worth your time. You will get to see, hear, and listen to stories, how to's and be able to stump the experts. (The real experts, not me!) The chats are often the best parts as you can interact and realize that you are not alone.

I wish I could have been there! For those who have had the chance to work with @"WJMuhle" - he is amazing. Several year ago, I had that opportunity to learn from him during a crisis moment with our SolarWinds environment. If anyone is wondering about going to a SWUG and have that chance to go - take it. 

E : ALL OF THE ABOVE. Ummmmm yeah... Gonna have to go there. I have some users that want the blinkie status lights, others want the alerts, some want troubleshooting, and now anomaly detection is the new thing. Feels like a " You can't have one without the other" moment for me. The first three go hand in hand. Anomaly/AI…

@"KMSigma.SWI" You are not an imposter. Giving a speech to any group of peers is always daunting. Just be glad that we are not a group of fidgeting and tired ten year olds when we gather, as that would be truly scary. And with that, it is always good to hear that the SWUGs are successful, and I will still shout out to…

You 'can' do one of the options. It is not recommended, but you can do it. The other three are definite no-no's. But yeah, I would not consider that one option as an answer either. I have used it for very very small systems, and an occasional test of a feature. 

While we all need lightsabers to light fireworks on holidays, gimme the teleporter. I want to avoid traffic jams and the airport lobbies! 

Its all good until a nerf dart flies past upper management. Unless they brought their own nerf into the office... 

Sadly, flying to London is not in my budget. But since I don't have a budget to worry about, its all good. BUT if you are able to get the SWUG, GO! The actual SWUG is free, and you get to hear about what you can do with SolarWinds, and more importantly ask direct questions to SolarWinds employees and fellow attendees.

I a do not know how soon. Please keep voting this up. @"KMSigma.SWI" - Can you share some good news on this change?

No Tron, no anything.... just saying. 

While a lot was missing, perfstack tends to drive through a lot of stuff to isolate many problems. 

ALL caps missed? 

GO GO GO! If you can - get there. These are actually free events and you get to see the real live human alter ego's that often post on THWACK! Besides, you get out of the office and learn that you are not alone.
