I'll be there! Looking forward to catching up with everybody!

LOL! Love both your commitment to catching them all, and your org's apparent lack of acceptable use policies

This was a great bracket, and a worthy winner, the most on topic of all of the possible victors! While Fynn's arcade would not have been a bad choice, Neo & Co. were the obvious choice.

Got to be the Matrix for the win. Amazed WarGames lost tbh, but the power of Dennis won that particular game....

I completed the first bit, but haven't had either of the follow up emails as yet. It's only been about an hour though, so I'll wait before going again with a different email address (my corporate one uses one of the newer TLDN and sometimes automated systems discount it as erroneous, erroneously )

Gentlemen, I tip my hat to you both. Born in '75, I missed out on a lot of path finding IT!

Hey guys, I have an issue with Q17. I don't want to give the game away, so could someone DM me and I'll explain what the issue is

Great Scott! That's a bonkers number of Thwack Points!

Baseball isn't a big thing over here in Blighty, but I've always enjoyed watching the games as and when I come across them on some late night sports show or the other. I did play it a little at school back in the day, before accidents around bats being thrown backwards into the faces of the next batter up caused it to be…

Cheers! From a technical standpoint, it's a bit of an ask, let alone the potential for litigation if an erroneous date was added. So I expect I can foresee the answer that's coming

I see a doggo, I vote for the doggo!

Oof, this is a another hard call! Has to be the T-800.

That War on Cash article is rather well written. Day to day, people simply don't realise that every time they waggle their contactless-capable card at a shop's device, there is a record of what you bought, when, where, and over time how often you buy the same thing. Whilst this is also true of any card purchase, the…

Zero downtime environments are the worst. Got to have resilience everywhere, which is good practice anyway, but you have to KNOW the alternate paths on your network will work if you perform maintenance on the primary path. I don't envy you your maintenance windows!

Any news on expanding 'Device View' support for more vendors/machine types? Looking through the current HCO demo, there's only a couple of devices which seem to support it (Cisco Catalyst 2960-48PST-L and Juniper EX2200-24T). I wouldn't want to see this feature die on the vine, as it's a really useful support tool for…

One thing I'd like to see added to Orion's alert logic is to combine 'status has changed' with 'trigger conditions must exist for x time'. At the moment you can only do one or the other. It'd be good if the pre-condition was 'status has changed'. but the rest of the trigger logic can be set behind a 'trigger conditions…

That dark theme is only in the SaaS product matey, don't get excited

That's what I was getting, which lead me to question the tip Glad it's not just me, but disappointed I didn't think to clear my cache before having a moan about it

Great post cxi​! The challenge for all organisations is to ensure that employees enjoy working for them! I have worked at businesses that were excellent places to be, and likewise I have worked at businesses were people can't wait to train up so they can leave. The problem with businesses in the latter category is that…

Aha! Thansk for the clarification! So, just for clarification, you have a Node, which has a Custom Property of 'City' which has the current value set as 'INSTANBUL', but you wish to change it to 'ANKARA', which is a valid option in the drop down list for this CP. A user, which has node management rights, but not admin…

Absolutely Jfrazier​! Documentation is about as much use as a chocolate teapot if it isn't kept up to date, and therefore "relevant at 3am"

The Matrix. No contest here, imho. Without Tron, Neo has to go all the way now!

Great post, rschroeder​! I find that, in my own role, learning about other technologies that would traditionally be left to the 'other team', I find I'm able to pick at my clients issues from multiple different perspectives, and find out of the box solutions that I never would have considered before. I come from a server…

Technically, I don't think I was wrong with answer I gave, as out of the box the answer I gave is right. But, the question is not not wrong, as the question does not say "out of the box". Thus, I made a rump out of myself lol

Ok, thanks for you time jeff.stewart​. Much appreciated.

Happy new year, Chrystal! Hope you and yours had a great break, and you got to spend time doing exactly what you wanted to do To the THWACKsters, 2025 is going to be a challenge for many, but whatever happens, THWACK and your friendly neighbourhood monitoring MVP maestros will be here to help!

I'm having a nose, see if there are any compatible devices with open source / unlicensed OS which we can all test with, as I'd like to have a bash with GNU3 also. Thus far, no dice.

You da man, idaman22​! (sorry)

Has to be the T-800. As good as the original GOTS is, it's just not on the same level of firmware as Cyberdyne's monster!
