Alerts when paths change resulting in new traffic latency costs--both faster AND longer costs.

I'm impressed with cities that go the extra mile towards improving cycling over automobiling. As this quote from article goes: "As Lott Van Hooijdonk told the New York Times: “Cycling is like a piece of magic: It only has advantages.” One can appreciate the cultural differences in a person's name. "Lott Van Hooijdonk"…

Uber is losing billions of dollars? Not from me. Of course, I never used it in the first place. It always seemed a potential path to disappointment or even danger. I was more interested / concerned / possibly affected by FedEx announcing they'll no longer carry Amazon packages. Amazon: FedEx severs ties, will no longer…

I'm right there with you. Putting Outlook in the cloud, and O365 in the cloud, slowed us down a LOT. Then when we lost WAN and Internet services for five+ hours, due to Provider issues a few weeks ago, it became even more clear that the cloud is not a suitably reliable and available solution for our needs. We had 17,000…

I'm lovin' this.

If I understand you correctly, what you want is for NPM to discover the up and down bandwidth settings on a router, and then automatically apply that information to NPM monitoring settings for those interfaces. Is this correct? If so, perhaps you'd get faster adoption if you made the request plain. Looking through your…

I beta tested some SW products like NTM, and although they still don't do what I need, I appreciate the ability of Network Atlas to let me build much of what's desired. Certainly the simple and smaller views that show critical infrastructure for a given site or application or process make great sense. But I'm waiting for…

And did you notice how much more at peace Thanos appeared after that? The back story, not presented in the movie, reveals Thanos wanted to do this to impress someone he loved. Her desire for this seems inappropriate, but that's outside of scope. ;^) Imagine Thanos' dismay if his finger snap happened to remove her from the…

Using facial recognition hardware/software at public transportation areas would make sense if it were reliable. It's already been proven to be unreliable. So why proceed with it until better systems/software/tech have been developed that ARE reliable? Maybe the powers-that-be are simply trying to calm the masses by saying…

Sadly, the post-credit clip was a serious anti-climax for me; quite disappointing. Even boring. And that's not something I expect from Marvel movies. The Avengers - Complete Shawarma Post Credits Scene *HD* - YouTube

If you use Chrome to view the Netpath you should be able to select Print and choose PDF from your PC's options. It works well for me when using Chrome.

Virtually.

I support this request. I make do with the options present, but they could be more diverse and robust. Here's an example of how I keep Cisco 4510 Controlled and Uncontrolled interfaces from chewing up element counts and resources in my auto discovered monitors: The dropdown in the second column is powerful, but I'm no…

Imagine being anyone or anything targeted by those drones. Maybe they'd be sent to become sucked into an airplane's jet engines. Maybe they'd be sent to impact a person or a group of people, perhaps with tiny explosives, or simply with high speed. In either of those cases, the action could be defensive--as in the action…

Summer vacation? It IS the best time of year for taking some vacation time and going fishing (at least here in Minnesota).

My team evaluated giving NCM SNMP write permissions and we concluded it was too great a security risk. Instead, we require SSH instead of snmp, and we work hard to ensure we don't make ACL mistakes. PIR's and RCA's leverage TACACS to show exactly show issues what commands at what times, and this is much simpler with NCM…

I put mine away for the season last weekend. But there are other Thwack members who boat year round, due to living in warmer climates. (envy)

I second that observation; I've seen it myself. But I'm less worried about points these days, so I didn't mention it. Good catch, Jfrazier.

It was DELISH!

Let's go back and set this right-side-up instead accepting it up-side-down. I think part of the philosophies that may be widely accepted must be changed instead of accommodated. Specifically: Dev and Test should have the same Security requirements as Prod, instead of having little or no security, simply because they aren't…

While I can understand someone's desire to eavesdrop on a meeting to which they were not invited, I have better things to do with my time. And better integrity and morals and honor than to try it.

Stormwinds, and other training solutions, are not up to speed with latest training needs of mine, like ISE 2.0 and ACI and FireSIGHT. But you make do with what you can. I'd support Cisco releasing training solutions that are in sync with their new hardware, IOS, and technologies. Make a rule--no new gear in the field…

The issue is "once burned, twice shy", or "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me" for trusting you. When we can look to social media and professional media at any time and see security breaches happening frequently to companies who pay millions for security specialists and experts to lock them down well,…

The trends also show where hackers and organized crime are focusing their attention. A thing being trendy or popular (MySpace, Facebook, the cloud) doesn't mean it's secure or safe.

I recall stories from Desert Shield and Storm where the US/Allies used 802.11b and WEP or MAC-based encryption on drones and in APC's and HumVEE's. It wasn't long before hearing stories of the people on the other side of the battle lines seeing/hearing information from those less-than-secure Internet transmissions and…

Some serious thought goes into this. More time is required to review--and enjoy--these than I have at my disposal. But the gist of it seems to be how life may change unexpectedly through the adoption of (new) technology. Reminds me of the oxymorons we used to laugh about years ago: 100 Awfully Good Examples of Oxymorons…

Definitely reminding me of my first "work computer", an old IBM without hard drive, but it had two 5.25" floppy bays. Booting the OS, loading dB3, then loading the data for the database . . . all state-of-the-art menu-driven and klunky CLI items. Ugh. And I thought I was pretty cool, being able to manipulate the data at…

Many thanks! I believed something like that must have happened. My apologies for dredging up old info as I search the archived blogs for precious nuggets.

I haven't heard much about the replacement for this recently. 

I love the way Solarwinds products can automatically take action when an alert is received. But let's not forget the original source of the problem. If something is inappropriately filling the Temp directory, or any other part of the disk, rather than automatically dumping Temp, wouldn't you prefer to treat the cause…
