Thanks wabbott​ and crew for another fun, and informative, mission! Fingers crossed for the draw

Regarding O365, almost every single organisation I work with has issues with performance when they migrate from on-prem to pure O365. One look at a NetPath to 'outlook.office365.com' will show you just how much the endpoints in Microsoft-land struggle. The path is generally green all the way up to one or two hops before…

This is exciting! All the best in the new role, Crystal. I'm sure you'll smash it, as you did as a Head Geek

AppStack: It's like the Force. Binds everything together

+1 for this. We also need a search box for the ASSIGNED Application Monitors tab in Manage Applications. We can search in the Manage Templates tab, but not in the assigned tab 

Now this is really difficult! Both are iconic films, and both are extremely topical.... but in the end I have to give it to Decker.

Robo ftw!

raaga​ By default, Orion calculates availability and status via ICMP (Ping). If SNMP is successful, and you can see statistics for compute and interfaces and so on, but the node is showing as down (solid red pip), then it is likely that ICMP is being blocked between the polling engine assigned to that node and the end…

Thanks, I figured it wouldn't be as simple as perceived

hey clecimar​ It depends on how geographically diverse your customers are, and how you plan to get the metrics polled into the central Orion database. If you are a traditional co-lo MSP, you wouldn't need one APE per customer environment, you would use Custom Properties to achieve the segregation (simlar to the tag concept…

Automated monitoring will happen, one day, but I'd always prefer to have at least one hand on the wheel, as it were. We here all know how pivotal reliable monitoring is, and having ED_209 doing my monitoring would lead me somewhat uneasy

hehe, that's not a bad idea!

Outstanding! I'm honoured to retain a seat at The Table! To those new to the good ship ThwackMVP: welcome aboard! Myself and the other old hands will show you the ropes, and promise not to make you swap the decks too often!

I try to get organisations I work with to embrace both Talk-Like-A-Pirate day (for charity, of course!), and IT Pro Day. The second always comes across somewhat self serving, I think, but I'm careful to exclude myself from it as I'm usually just a consultant, not a permanent staffer I remember, at the last place I was a…

How could it not be the mighty Dragon?? Unless Nessie could pull the thing down into the depths, the Dragon would be patient, wait for Nessie to surface, and burn her

The Matrix wins! Calling it here, it'll be TRON vs The Matrix in the final (if there is any justice!)

I shall be there! Hotel already booked! Will be great to catch up with Solarians and community members alike!

My name is SilverbackSays, and I approve of this message!

Next year I will be following suit! Goram work

Cheers rschroeder​! I remember having to take 10p with me when I was out with my friends as a kid, so I could call home from a phone box if I was going to be late! For all the advances technology has given us in the past 30 years, I still look back on my childhood and wish it was a little more like that today. My kids are…

We had a blast! Thanks, all, for the hard work in putting these together!

Sometimes you need to read all of the information in the hints provided to get there! Remember, these missions are as much about learning as they are about awesome prizes!

Awaiting emails to complete the surveys, but will do so as soon as they arrive

Excellent post, as always, sqlrockstar​ I do have a question for you, though. If you had a client, who has upgraded from 11.x and before to 12.1, has had significant stability issues with that version... would you recommend that they upgrade their Orion database (assume that they are on SQL 2016 SP1 or higher already), or…

Bumped! CyberArk and many other similar enterprise password management suites are becoming more and more prevalent. I would see this FR as part of a wider revamp of the Orion access controls. CyberArk could be a fourth account type within Orion after Orion local AD, and groups, and the integration should be configurable to…

Hats off to those we've lost, lads. 'tis a sad day when the likes of Sir Henry Morgan and Captain James Tiberius Kirk fall before their destined matchup! Kirk v Picard! Now that would have been a great battle! cjfranca​, Captain CAVEMAAAAN was awesome. Who the blazes is Captain Crunch anyway? We in Blighty have never heard…

The plot thickens, and I'll be really interested to hear how SWI is planning to tool up to slay this new, complex, monitoring Dragon!

I'm also seeing this issue in my own environment, with NPM 11.5.2. Client information is not showing, all APs are showing as having zero clients in the dashboard.

Read the hint thoroughly, keeping the text of the question in mind. You'll work out the missing word and then you have to type it in the box.
