While we're at it, there's room on the screen for Managing Dependencies for another column: Up/Down Status, so I could sort quickly by status and find the down nodes/groups/parents/children, and then edit them quickly. Yes, there is the "Group By" drop down, which sort of allows a similar functionality, but it's not…

Here's a sunken tugboat I viewed using the new side-imaging sonar in my boat just a few weeks ago in the Duluth (MN) harbor. The "Essayons" is 85' long and served the U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers well during ther time. And here's the sad story of the boat: Hard-luck tug sinks in Duluth harbor | Duluth News Tribune

Observability in my workplace includes: * Solarwinds output * Syslogging and analysis through Splunk * Nagios output * Help Desk tickets / complaints * "Experts" who are long on theory and short on practicality. One expects me to provide throughput statistics and analysis every port (75,000 of them) on my network for EVERY…

It's unclear to me why we'd be interested in keeping up with value wars between MS and Amazon, no matter whether Alphabet is involved or not. I'd be interested if either player were going down the drain, but it still seems like more of the huge IT companies duking it out and getting richer, without any input or action on…

If your apps & data are still on-premise you just might be OK. When a company has been supporting locally-hosted applications like Microsoft Office / Outlook / Exchange, etc., its customers and employees have a history of performance levels they expect to stay the same, no matter if your apps & data are hosted locally or…

155 countries affected as of 20170515. And counting . . .

I think the article showing Fortnite complaining about Google is a non-issue. Fortnite got greedy and bypassed Google's (arguably "safe") Play Store just to increase their bottom line. Google might also be greedy by forcing companies to pay Google a cut of ever sale that goes through the Play Store. I don't play games on…

Has James developed any new technical skills, or is he simply hiring more Amandas?

Thanks!

The first part of the topic is what comes from Management not having the right tools and staff levels and training budget in place.

Digital License plates? I don't think so. We already have too much exposure to data risks. I submit more things must go analog instead of digital if we wish to improve our security and safety when we're not improving the ethics of people everywhere. I'm certain a person could manipulate the digital license place data.…

I like the simple and easy-to-understand instructions you created. And I also like the summarized view in the resulting Compliance Report. I think it's more intuitive than NCM's canned Compliance Report views. Thanks.

Agreed--sometimes answers aren't as expected. Certainly this is more challenging set of questions than I've run into previously. While not whining, I admit some frustration with watching the videos multiple times, carefully comparing my experience to the documentation and actual procedures on the products, and selecting…

I must be having a brain malfunction; I can't recall where to see that view. What is the path you use to get to it?

Make it simple and get all the SW Orion modules, and allocate enough staff to learn & implement & maintain them.

MTTI is good, but is only a crutch if you don't know where to send the problem ticket for resolution. PerfStack and other Orion tools make tossing that hot potato to others MUCH more accurate and efficient. The single-pane-of-glass / no-silo environment makes getting the right team looking at the problem quickly easier,…

The blue lines show the confusion. Each represents a latency measurement between the indicated devices. While the main network line also shows a latency figure at the same time that is different from most of these smaller latencies. It becomes a matter of interpreting which one is the one referenced in the answers, but as…

Amen, brother! "Bugs, Mr. Rico! Zillions of 'em!" "Blast 'em, boys!" Seriously, a MUCH better book than the movies!

Ah, I thought that was for airfare. So you expect to see improved buying power through the better exchange rate of the US dollar for the pound? I'd love to see some financial group analyze and report the difference between the pre-Brexit airline fares and hotel rates and exchange rates to the post-Brexit environment.

I was imagining that fancy gaming chair in my fishing boat . . . Ha!

This applies to scripting:

If only the US were using something equivalent. Or are we? It's interesting that "GDPR" doesn't show up in the document linked. In fact, "General Data Protection Regulation" doesn't show up anywhere on this Thwack topic page (except for here in my comment). I suspect in the states it will be like the "do not call" list,…

Re-inbump-u-lationary!

Yah, it was a great book. I grew up reading Heinlein's juvies, and was proud to say I owned all his books by the end of the 1970's.

I wouldn't read past the information provided in the Hint. That's all that was required to get a Green mark today.

I'm reminded of showing up at a resort with my boat & fishing buddies, and asking the resort owner about current fishing conditions. "Oh, you shoulda been here LAST WEEK! Man, the guests just SLAYED 'em!"

And here I was expecting to see "Show of hands: how many of you have had a memorable experience with alcohol--one which you wish you DIDN'T remember?"

A HAT!!!!! The words and flare aren't Solarwinds orange. Strange. Make these available in various colors (I prefer white or tan to keep the heat out) in the Thwack Store, please!

I went to overhead trays eight years ago in our data centers. They have their own unique issues, different than raised floors. For one thing, you need a ladder--or two--every time you have to run fiber or copper down a row using the trays. Another issue is the vertical cable management from the horizontal trays / ladder…
