We are right at the very beginning of this particular adventure. But at least we are starting out by being ready. We are aiming for new edge switches to be PoE capable at least. Not forgetting that increases power loading we are also adding to the ups capability in the closets. Step by step

basically - don't be scared of new technology, learn about it, try it out for yourself, then decide if you will embrace it. With this caveat. If you decide not to embrace it and the rest of the world jumps on board you'll be left behind. Not FOMO but as with all things tech, it is incumbent on yourself to learn new things.…

We do the same as JFrazier We monitor each nic in the pool for raw data, as well as the load balance nic and the service that is running on it. What we REALLY lack though - and having in SW would be wonderful - is the ability to link the "set" of monitors into a single service. Extending that further, to include ALL of the…

Neat way of presenting it, thanks

* Mostly MS SQL, although there are a number of My-SQL for black box apps * Dedicated DBA team looks after the SQL parts of the servers * DBAs use Spotlight, although server team uses SAM * That part is the DBA role

Happy New Year - its going to be a great 2016!

looks like food is front and center

Just to get this over with (and be the first in 2016 to ask our favorite question)...... So, when do I get my points for this challenge

we are exploring more and more in this area, but the deeper we get down the rabbit hole the more we see how this is going to impact our monitoring. The drive to using software defined <x> is to allow automation, which makes automation of monitoring creation even more important. So that when a server or service is deployed…

if your employer is not invested in you or your future then its time to move on to an organization that does invest in its people. Its not draconian at all, employment is an exchange not a jail term

long been a fan of pass phrases, but love the idea of making it a geek badge of honor as well

Doesn't look like it. Complete the mission shortcut between January 6, 2020 and February 2, 2020 to be entered to win a Bose Noise-Cancelling Headphones w/Alexa Voice Control

Sometimes there are prizes that seem to go above and beyond The Sonic screwdriver TV-Remote is the ultimate geek device. Hate to say it so close to 5/4 and the release of "Solo", but that's so much better than a blaster at your side.

bookmarked - thank you

I've missed the last month or two, back on a roll again now

reservation for a Model 3, never done that for a car before!

We are just starting down the road of BYOD but we are trying to cover all our customer bases. We are definitely protecting our corporate assets, but at the same time one of our drivers is a good user experience. Say what you will about the advent of the iPhone and other pocket computers, they have radically shifted what…

@"KMSigma.SWI" apologies, it should have been added This was before I moved it into place. It took about two weeks to build, all tongue and groove joints. I didn't realize how difficult white oak was to work with!

We are in conversation with Cisco now at renewal time for Meraki - lack of monitoring support is close to making us push them out for alternative solutions. It will be interesting to see how that pans out

it sure would be nice to play with a drone without the 14 across implications

learning more about DPA, which is very cool. Getting my DBA's to look at it now

So want this. Using snmp to monitor processes remotely is a real hit or miss affair right now especially when there are lots of processes running

Dear Infraclaus, I have been as good as the other guys, honest. So I'd like these please...... * connected application monitoring for me please * a budget specific to monitoring and support services * An alert app for my phone so I didn't have to rely on texts, so then I could acknowledge the alerts so teammates wouldn't…

I should have read these comments before doing that last question Big red X for me too

The biggest thing for us is the dollar signs attached to much of this. Often we get asked for high levels of redundancy linked to low tolerances for downtime - only to have them revert to 9-5 due to extreme sticker shock Thankfully getting closer to classification of data and services to prioritize what REALLY needs to…

if you've got the snmpwalk and have the raw oids you could try here. http://oid-info.com/

is this the answer? SWUG 2022 A Time For Unicorns and Tigers, we just ate the Duck!
