I bounced around after high school doing physical labor jobs and having as much fun as possible. Seven years after graduation, I had no skills and wasn't sure what was next, but a friend got me an entry-level gig at a university library cataloging books. This was 1994 or so. I started installing software on the rare…

Voted! Congratulations on the nomination, Head Geeks.

Is this still in the pipeline for 2015?

I can't believe this has only received 16 upvotes. Come ON, people!

Also getting the same result as bleggett​ for today's question.

Now I'm doubly astounded it doesn't exist in Orion.

Funny you mention Google - I saw a demo/standup for Nutanix the other day. The founders of that company are ex-Googlers and supposedly designed their datacenter architecture before they broke off. The technology definitely has some similarities to Google's with regard to scalability and ease of incremental growth.

I'm sorry - that was a little cavalier, wasn't it? Apologies!

Never heard of it

It's funny - when I came onboard at my current shop, there was no APM of any kind in place - there were days when the ticket queues didn't fill with performance complaints, and days when they were filled to bursting. We simply had. no. visibility. So probably the first 45 days or so were establishing baselines - not only…

Welcome to the data warehouse OF SAVINGS.....bump.

Come on....it's plane to see that it has some value! Geometry puns......what have I become?

We've made some good strides in this arena over the past couple of years. We defined availability for platforms first, and built some specific views/groupings for those platforms - to include front ends, transport devices where applicable, DBs and DB boxes on the backend, and other things. It can still be slippery, though…

I think you hit the nail on the head - project management. Every bad outcome I've been involved in was due to a lack of communication, task flow and handoff, and resource constraints. Every good outcome between siloed teams I've seen is all about a competent PM. To me, part of what a good PM can bring to the table is an…

I've gotten further info on this problem. For anyone's reference (and if you want to bring the issue to your HPE/Aruba reps), the ticket number is 5322053925. Here's the full response from HPE/Aruba (tl,dr - you're still out of luck for now): We found a generic temperature sensor MIB with OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.99.1.1.1. More…

Oh man, would I love this functionality. Have an upvote!

I'm chill, thanks. I didn't ask for a solution - just groused a bit.

"SEND US YOUR UNKNOWN SANDWICHES!"

Wristbands, too! Excellent....

With any luck, if blame-mongering like that DOES get started, perhaps there will be some fact-checking to ensure that the 'accused' parties were in fact using an exploitable version of openSSL at the time!

One product vs two, I guess?

No one will ever say no. The consuming world leverages and will continue to leverage wireless as the de facto standard. If we took the terms 'IoT' and 'BYOD' out of this conversation, the problems would be same.

Also, how about simple things like excluding a range/subnet of IP addresses from data collection at the global level? I don't mean IP address groups, but rather that we can easily preclude, say, our iSCSI traffic from ever showing up. I want to set a subnet or range in one place and make it invisible for every view and…

Thank you - as more customers buy the new rebranded gear, this problem will only increase.

We've rolled out Silverpeak with great success thus far. Echoing others' comments here, not all SD-WAN products are created equal, of course, but the SP software has matured nicely and allows us to mix-and-match MPLS and commodity circuits with ease. For companies that have significant MPLS spend/sites, I can see why…

Maria, thank you - and sorry for the three-thousand-plus click-happy resubmission attempts.

Over the past decade, it seems like sysadmins have moved from the relative comfort and structure of the silo to (out of necessity) becoming more conversant with more pieces of the infrastructure and system puzzle. I say that as a backdoor sysadmin myself - I started out in pure infrastructure and knew nothing about systems…

I hear what you're saying - and I get it - but you've asked a question without an answer. The practice of getting technology, people and process aligned is a tough one. Your anecdote sounds more like snark aimed at management than anything (and I understand where you're coming from there, too) - but that isn't really…

Ah! Thank you for the clarification.

Great idea - and I've come across this frustration more than a time or two. Have an upvote!
