This blog post is now 4 years old - has anything changed with the report writer with the release of NPM 12? Do we need a new blog entry, with new instructions?

Could there be an external file, filled with node names to be worked on in batch, which each job could call as a source of input? Perhaps the "Look at external text file" option could be added as an additional option to each batch job, so no existing functionality is lost. If those two things were implemented, rschroeder…

It was interesting to me that you said "a city full of smart cars full of censors", as the censors are still-to-be-developed, but certainly not an out-of-the-question development. Perhaps the autopilot saying you can't change your mind about going home, just to stop and get an ice cream cone (half-a-block out of the way).…

I agree. It either needs one more option, or change the radio buttons to checkboxes, so you can select more than one. I holding off on answering this for a couple hours, hoping for a change to be made.

Charlcye, As of 08:45AM on the 5th, the page I saw still says the 13th.

This is something we could use in our deployment as well. Jfrazier did some thinking on this (good job!); it looks like it would be useful for almost every SW deployment. I have voted it up, and would love to see it implemented.

@ChrystalT - Today's (31 MAY) hint points to the YouTube video we have been watching all week. Can we get this to point to survey instead?

While I like the idea, my twisted way of thinking has a question: If you add these colored status icons, is that not just regular monitoring, but setting the status to muted?

I would like to quibble with the statement at the top: "These flaws affect both system security and performance since they degrade CPU performance significantly." Unless I am totally misunderstanding what is going on, the degraded CPU performance comes from the patch used to mitigate the flaw, not from the flaw itself. If…

Today's (Thursday, 25 April) question (in the poll), ignored the answer that I think needs to be there - more machine learning, with the ability for the admin to chime in, to let the machine learning know that even though something looks out-of-bounds, it is still acceptable. Something like an annual report running for…

yumdarling , It looks to me as though I received points for today's question, even though I got it wrong. While I'm happy to have more points, I really would prefer to earn them.

I'm signed up, and looking forward to being there. For those in different timezones, or on vacation, or unavailable at the time of the camp, will the sessions be available for viewing later? Another happy "camp"er.

I don't know WHO thought up the theme for this month, but it sounds like fun! Thanks!

DanielleH I answered questions 19 and 20 correctly this morning, but did not receive any points. Is there something going wrong in the glue that holds everything together? Thanks, Roger

I got the red X also. I believe it is because the word "only" is in the wrong place, misleading us. 

@"kpina" Day 20 - there is no link to the Mission Accomplished Survey.

I also go back to those dim vestiges of time, and I am still not comfortable with everything anyone says (within range of the microphone) being sent to the cloud. While it mimics the effect we saw in Star Trek (TOS), they didn't worry about some company trying to make money off their verbal banter. "Computer! Turn off the…

rschroeder, POAM is Plan of Action & Milestones, in other words, how and when you will fix the problems found.

Same for me, even on Friday afternoon. It would be great to have completed the week, to be eligible for the weekly prize. 

Day 15 has no poll, so I can't vote. 

5332 bytes would be valid for jumbo frames, but that is not currently supported across the 'net - usually just to storage devices. Pinging your filer with 5332 byte packets would work fine. By the way, I have not seen the movie that this screenshot came from, so I don't know that device they are trying to ping, but I am…

Why would every file be sent to Cisco? I could understand .exe files being sent, but .txt (or .doc/.docx for example)? I don't believe that CISCO has the compute power available to process EVERY file sent across the net (maybe one day's worth in a year, if they are lucky). This is beginning to sound like an internet…

For Day 10, shouldn't answer C say Data-driven, rather than Data-drive?

The same happened to me, but the last item was below the box, rather than in the border of the box. 

When I correctly answered today's question (#10), the message that came up stated that {the looked-for values} had recently been added to THWACK - I would have thought that it should have said they were recently added to SAM. Am I missing something?

IT consultant - I manage nothing.

We're not yet a hybrid organization.

We don't have SAM, but the programs I would like to have monitored are old DOS-based programs, so I don't know if an API exists that could be monitored.

Account prevention tool - wonderful, no new accounts. Does it also delete existing accounts? If we could get down to 0 accounts, auditing would be a breeze!

dlepi, Restarting the swiagentd every minute does sound excessive, unless there has been a problem discovered/observed wherein the swiagentd is getting killed frequently. More information is definitely needed.
