Anyone else having a seemingly erroneous incorrect answer to Question 13? Unless I have a reading comprehension problem, I'm pretty sure I selected the correct answer considering the hint video gives it to you in black and white on the slide shown (great video btw, would love to be able to download the high res version of…

Well said Patrick With tech being more and more critical to life in general, the fact that the next generation are picking up 'Keyboard-Fu' at an early age, and that they are comfortable with principles of code, all at the same time as they are learning the basics of the three natural sciences, is something I honestly…

Gotta love it when the questions keep you on your toes That one almost caught me out, but I'd had expensive coffee that morning and saw through it. Revenge is mine, as those have caught me out in the past!

I've done my part!

Gotta buy the right ammo, otherwise you get hangfires. Annoying for single shot NERF weaponry, but for the automatic kind it can lead to catastrophic stoppages !

Cloudy, the future of Orion is! #Yoda

Thanks mrs.alterego​! It appears the DM has b0rked my inbox, as I can't respond to the message, it is stick in 'loading' (the progress bar to the right-hand side) but never completes. I've tried with a number of browsers, but all of them display the inbox in the same way Any chance you could ask one of the web team to take…

Awesome new mission! I love the prizes, I can just imagine the fun I could have with one of those blasters, pranking people with it whist recording their reactions! ... Nerf is getting serious!

I remember getting a whole stack of Input magazines from a neighbour, and they had code in them for a game, with a little more each month. I always wanted to type it in, but felt I needed to have all the code before I started. BIG mistake! By the time the run had finished there were tens-of-thousands of lines to Input!…

Has to be Ghost!

Rock on, July winners!

Happy Holidays everyone! It might be early, but I wanted to get in there first!

Hey jeff.stewart​! Just wondering if it was on the radar, really. EoX data is really handy, and if it was 'automagically' assigned to nodes without intervention from users, it would help some of the clients I work with. The important part would be having the local database of dates updated automatically as well, with…

Thanks for the write up saschg​! ARM is shaping up to be an extremely potent new member of the SWI family. I would be interested in seeing more of these type of post, around the headline features of ARM. So put that down as one vote for more of the same! An online demo would also be awesome, but I know it's not the easiest…

It's a difficult decision to take, rschroeder​. I'm with you on the "trust no-one" side of things, especially since many of the cloud providers are also advertising houses. You just don't know what internal 'analytics' they're going to run on your data once it's sitting on their tin. That said, the whole world is moving to…

Intriguing! Looking forward to reading it

Thanks for this great post,rorz​. Containerization is the next logical step in technology from hypervisors, and it's clear that for many applications it is the future. However, for monolithic applications it may not be suitable. At least in it's current form. There will always be large applications, and no amount of…

Awww man, question two threw me! Even we MVPs don't know everything .. Still, gotta love these missions! Every one is a potential learning experience. That Death Star lego set is awesome, hope whoever wins it has the time to build it! 

Love that meme.... I may have to steal it

Awesome! Calendar updated

Lucky you, superfly99​! I'm acting tech support for my family and now my wifes!

Other than directly editing a table in the database, it's currently not possible to change this (kudos to marcnetterfield​ for this clarification). More flexibility = more wins!

Good idea nickzourdos​! I'd expand it by adding a toast notification that pops up to remind you to select your favourite interfaces when you are monitoring more than two interfaces, but it still automatically adds the first to physical interfaces (by interface ID#) in to this resource by default, so it has some data. Empty…

Sounds an awful lot like a case of "get off my lawn!" to me, mprobus​! The way the Orion database is designed provides that that unless you have serious constraints on database space or storage performance (or you have a GIANT estate), NPM & SAM work just fine together. Splitting them means double the admin, double the…

We parachute in our chef, when other bakeries need help with their recopies!

Here's my GNS3 & NPM lab:

When I'm building the alert environment, I start with all alerts OFF, and then after discussions only build alerts which the customer actually WANT, and that's after stressing that best practice defines all alerts as human-actionable, I suggest using reports.custom dashboards to capture anything less critical. It can be a…
