As always, a brilliant read, and an informative post! By the way, I see what you did there: "....​ the complex interplay of code, polling cycles..." Perfection

I have done my duty! Wish I could double-bump it for referencing my idea as well, thanks designerfx​ Having a set of CPs that exist for every monitored element would really expand on the flexibility of the platform, especially if they ... hold on, I think I've got an idea for an improvement to this idea!! How about, having…

Right, thanks again.

Thanks maria.bungau​! Happy to help. Will people who have already attempted the question need to retry, once you've waved your magic wand and fixed it?

My name is Jez Marsh, and I endorse this message! lol All jokes aside, while none of my clients use SWO, and all my work is still with Orion-by-another-name, I can see the benefit of this suggestion!

Bumped!

You are correct. To add or remove the values from a specified Custom Property you need to have administration rights. I'd argue that your user should not be able to get to the custom properties editor either, since that should be an admin only area, due to the fact that any changes are global.

Not entirely sure this should be filed under a feature request, as a bug fixing pass is not really a feature, as such. Hence, I've down voted it. However, this thread has given me an idea: As users of the Orion platform, we have a golden opportunity to ensure the bugs that we find are addressed, by reporting them to…

It's Sneakers for me. Die Hard is my fav Christmas Movie, but after Die Hard 2, it all seemed a little ... forced.

Great list. I have not read any of these tomes as yet, but I think I'll start with The Black Swan, since it's closest to what I do every day. I may also pick up Daemon and Freedom as they also sound pretty interesting. I'm working my way through Jules Verne at the moment. 20,000 leagues under the sea was brilliant, and I…

Looking at the screengrab, you have multiple different time stamp data shown, as if you've hovered the mouse over the graph in more than one place at the same time? That's a great idea (upvoted), not sure if this would be something that would be more suitable to an analytics engine, maybe a completely new Orion product?…

Hey Jiri Is there any scope for having EOX data stored centrally, and delivered to Orion installations (that support internet access, and manual update for those that don't), so that admins can have an automated EOX solution? Without Cisco Smart Advisor, it's difficult for some of my clients to pick out which are the right…

500 is a good number, it could be that some of these are being looked at, or perhaps will be addressed in a future release of something yet to be disclosed? Maybe tagging in wabbott​ or the product manager (where relevant) will help. SWI's devs are only human, and Orion Core itself (so things common to all Orion products)…

This'll be fun! 

Boo! I was on annual leave for question 20, and didn't get to answer it in time Good luck to those who did get to answer 20, and got them all right!

I will do so, cheers Tom.

No worries sqlrockstar​! We've got plenty to crack on with. The bracket battle and monthly missions etc. Good to see you're busy though!

Awesome adatole​! I shall give that a good read later on

I think the issue with this is really a Windows security problem, rather than something that SAM can resolve. As UAC scuppers all attempts to automate approval of elevated commands, and disabling UAC doesn't explicitly provide all further actions on the server with the 'highest privilege' of the executing user, if explicit…

Hope you have a great SWUG peeps! Sadly, it's a little too far for me to commute!

Tough choice, as both of these are somewhat obscure to most younger voters!

Sandy B is cute, sure, but Tron IS the net!

TRON! If this doesn't win the whole thing, there's no justice. It's THE tech movie! Legacy was great, too!

Nice, I'll give it a try! Cheers!

Awesome post, cxi​! I'm pretty good at creating colourful analogies, but this one takes the biscuit! (I may have to 'borrow' it, it's that good!). Most of us are great at a handful of things, even expert in one or two on top of this, but the rest? We're at the building water phase. You need to accept that for these new…

I took a leaf out of my own book. When I ask my young daughters a question about something new from a text book, if they get stuck I tell them to say what they see in the diagrams. Same deal here, I found

We're all here to help, mate. Feel free to follow/pm me if you have any problems and if I can help, I shall!

Applause all 'round 2015 was a great year for me, and looking at those numbers an ever better year for SolarWinds. Lets hope that 2016 is even better for all of us!

Cheers maria.bungau​! I hadn't had any coffee this morning, so didn't try any alternatives. I'll have to try that in future, got to keep us on our toes!
