This would be very useful to us for testing, but also where we are testing Solarwinds Beta products. We can then ensure our test server is always on the latest version to iron out any bugs or changes. We're currently an NPM SLX customer plus other modules and active maintenance so we have invested in solarwinds…

We were having the very same conversation about Microsoft/Amazon this week.

I'm still on the fence, in many instances I've seen it merely change the pain point.

We've found it takes this three times before they realize. First time is a one off, second time they are unlucky, third time, we should probably do something about this.

One more to go. Am I the only one that gives each question more scrutiny the closer we get to the end?

This needs to be shifted to HCO or any one of the self hosted products, but it's a great idea. 

Lots of them are here: Whitepapers Resources – SolarWinds

Four pillars of observability, there were only three in November SolarWinds | SolarWinds Advances Full-Stack Monitoring Strategy with New Branding and Solutions

This highlights the need for software audits. Is google searching your documents and selling you to companies as a product based on the content of those documents. Who has your companies data and what are they doing with it?

Great solution and yay traps + IPv6, that's great news.

I agree, I've met network engineers where it feels like an understatement, but also those that it seems a little far reaching. I like to consider network administrators and network engineers separately.

Today's hint isn't quite in the time window suggested. You'll need to watch a little longer

Great article tinmann0715​ it's certainly made me consider what more we could be doing with the resources available to us.

Sounds like you need to be running some security training courses. Stop trying to solve a people problem with technology.

Week 3 done

Dear Network, It's been a tough first year together but we got through it. I know that your previous owners were less than attentive, but hopefully you've seen by now that following the adoption you got what you needed. We've got some big changes planned for FY2016, it will be like a makeover you'll love it. Your…

Again documentation is key. You can also ensure that those who wish to be the big fish end up in smaller and smaller ponds.

Week 2 done!

Thinking of trying cloudflare's DNS service. Thanks for the reminder.

We are currently in the process of switching to Jira Service Desk. I've lost count of the number of times I've had to remind staff to create at ticket.

Worked for me

Completely agree, got one myself.

We will need this very soon.

Completely agree, some people just can't troubleshoot well. Taking the step back to look at what's missing.

We consider DR and BC together but they are quite different. Quite often the DR and BC are considered for the Data centre but forgotten for the office. I've seen a big lack of businesses consider these as an IT only issue.

This is where viewing the whole stack is essential.

I would have to agree with rschroeder​ here, very good point. I'm also shocked that only 16% realised the importance of end user training. Hopefully this was an anonymous survey as I think I spy 84% of businesses surveyed that may be at risk of a phishing or social engineering attack.

I think B was meant to be "Understand application dependencies with other IT layers, including servers, virtualized infrastructure, and storage systems." Maybe?
