Thank you, Steven! This should be perfect. I appreciate the assistance!

I'm unable to attend during that time. Will the webinar be available for viewing afterward? Thank you for any information.

Thank you, Richard. We use MPLS between our sites as well. It's good to hear of positive experiences!

Brandon, thanks for the info! What are the link BWs between your Americas/EMEA/Asia locations?

I found my root cause for problem DCs. For some reason, the Windows firewall was not correctly configured on the two DCs failing at regular intervals. Corrected the policy to conform with our GPO settings, verified correct GPO was applied, and haven't had a failure since.

I think dynamic routing protocols are akin to 'automatic' changes based on distance vectors, link states, etc...so maybe all automation isn't bad.

Let's say for the sake of conversation that I'm trying to keep stuff out of my feed.... Gotta be honest, did not expect this subject to get so much attention! I was really after a way to control my feed and the subject matter therein.

*searches for block button*

I have a followup question regarding this, and was hoping to get some clarification if possible. So let's say a session goes from active to inactive. At that point, does DPA stop collecting or storing info about that session because the status changed? The behavior of the particular app that talks to our Oracle DBs marks…

Perfect - thank you very much!

Thanks much for the info, Al - or should I say Mr. Terego....

Re: manners: so true. Even if someone's spot-on with critique, when it devolves into a rant it's just too easy to dismiss the critique along with the source. I've had challenges finding things here too over the last couple of years...it's not perfect. It's still pretty good for free - and does deliver value when I need it.

Thank you. That's solved at least one of the problem boxes - I appreciate the info.

Chris, thanks for this. Got a strange issue - maybe I'm just missing something. In the 6.3 release I see we can perform actions on VMs now from the Sprawl page. For some reason, the TopXX resources on my Sprawl page do not include those action choices - instead, they look precisely the same as before. Are there updated…

This popped up for us a few days ago. Did you ever find the root cause of the problem?

Thank you.

Okay, got some more info and my desired task is even simpler than I thought - but I'm having a challenge finding the way to quickly accomplish it. It's not a script per se - instead, it's the output of this command: who | cut -f1 -d " " | sort | uniq | wc -l It returns one numerical value. My goal is to build a component…

It's a great point.....duhhhhhh! Thank you.

Is there any way to enable extra columns (specifically command line) by default? This is usually what I'm chasing when looking at CPU utilization...specific application pools, etc. Thank you.

Thanks, Michael! This is a useful report and helped me ferret out all boxes with a particular KB. Much appreciated.

You know what's really missing? The ability to export/ship Serv-U specific logs to a collector. Sifting through the application log is a non-starter, and there just aren't many options.

count me....in?

'serveral'.....I see what you did there! Levity aside, awesome!

alexslv‌, thanks much for sharing this! It will be very useful for us in the future.

Very well done....a must-read for non-IT stakeholders wanting to know why we do what we do.

Turns out I was missing something! I overlooked the most elementary change to make - that is, to not use a connection profile. At least now I have a successful test at the node level. I'm still curious as to why a specific connection profile populated with the appropriate credentials didn't work. Strange.

Perhaps a good suggestion would be a small pic taken from NPM's view of the switch node, showing VLAN assignments...like this. (This is for a procurve, so Cisco might look different, but it's always a nice sanity check before diving into NCM).

Hm - not sure why you don't have that listed...it's one of the built-in templates (we don't have ASAs so we've never leveraged it). Perhaps you're not on the newest version of NCM? I can't attach the template file here, but here's the code inside the file. Open a notepad file, copy this code into it, and then name it Cisco…

Let's first make sure you're using the appropriate template for your ASAs. As a starting point, you should be using the following template (Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance). To verify that your ASAs are using this, edit one of your ASA nodes and find this at the bottom of the page: Instead of 'Auto Determine', choose the…

If you know how to accomplish this via command, then it can be made into a simple script and executed via a custom Linux/Unix script monitor.
