Definitely that 3rd monitor for the sports and IT news

Welcome aboard yumdarling​! Looking forward to your posts!

Completely agree with the motivation and fulfillment that comes when you get to automate things, especially when it has a great impact on an individual or team's task load. Makes you want to "code" more. Great read

Looking forward to the rest of this series. We're not implementing any rewards for efforts like this right now, but it'd be interesting to propose it to management. I guess the more creative they are, the better..and we get to secure our data in the process. Win-win

Awesome! Special shoutout to the SolarWinds tech support team in Manila

I have always wondered what seder means and never looked it up, and I'm glad I get to read and understand it here in Thwack. Thanks for this enlightening post Leon

Currently we collect all our old electronic equipment for disposal inside a warehouse, and due to the company's certification plans we might need to properly dispose them this year. Plan is we are going to employ the services of a government accredited e-waste management company, with ISO 14001 certification. We are also…

Anyone already saw the new trailer for The Crimes of Grindelwald? Jude Law as Dumbledore looks very promising

Just saw your kids' latest antics in Twitter while you were away and they were quite hilarious. Don't know if I want to feel bad for you for them failing your expectations or congratulate you for having an awesome and whacky brood.

Just the motivation I need for some new learning. Thanks for this write-up, good sir!

Same here. Really rushed into it. Brick 

A meme battle bracket would be nice. Popular IT memes for that matter, or maybe just the most popular non-IT ones.

I have to say the one time I took responsibility for the team's failure was quite liberating, especially that it was a great learning opportunity. The first time I did it made me feel mature as a professional and a leader, and no better feeling than to know that your team believes you got their backs. Responsiveness and…

One of your best hauls of interesting stuff in the interwebs, sir. Consumed a lot of these. Thanks!

Don't want workplace politics carried over to 2019. Don't need all the toxic stuff. Also, no more ridiculous blockchain startups and ideas.

Ditto

"Disaster Recovery, in my opinion, cannot be classified as a project. It cannot have an end date and a closing. " So true, good sir. Currently, we have a new "privileged access management" tool under POC, and part of its requirements is a good DR setup. I'd like to think that once it has been implemented, this would be…

Awesome read. I think it's great that I haven't had the chance to execute a DR plan yet, but if it comes to that, the plan structure you outlined seems to be the complete way to go about it.

It's great that my wife is in IT too, so she can get the message across just quite right when someone asks her about my job. I may have to wait for a few more years or so until my month-old baby grows up enough for him to throw me questions and bewildered looks regarding what I do. I guess the funniest thing is that my old…

Totally agree, as this is the same thing we did in my previous company. Individual system recovery is the key, and makes it all easier. You just need a good plan to line all those systems up according to priority, so an annual/bi-annual DR simulation is always helpful. And fun!

You don't know how much I relate to this adatole​, not a "real programmer" either, but there really is a certain wonder and bliss every time I get to make a few lines of code to work for Solarwinds and other tools. Kudos to you for revisiting that "place" while being a busy head geek for us thwackies. Looking forward to…

That did it, guess these values are just way too high. Don't know why Cisco have to make this disconnection codes too bulky Thanks so much for the assist tdanner​, will definitely include that ELSE. SWQL rocks

Just sent it to you tdanner​

Apologies tdanner, should have included the query. Please see below: SELECT v.CallManagerName, v.DestCCMRegionName, CASE v.OrigCause_value WHEN '0' THEN 'No error' WHEN '1' THEN 'Unassigned number' WHEN '2' THEN 'No route to specific transit network' WHEN '3' THEN 'No route to destination' END AS Cause,…

Hi, Can I butt in with another problem here?it's almost the same issue..our gigabit and serial interfaces suddenly stopped polling, while fast-ethernet and non-cisco interfaces are showing tx and rx data..is the deletion of interfaces necessary here? Thanks. Paulo

tdanner​, do we have a way in swql of converting int to float since there is no cast? I'm getting a "The conversion of the varchar value overflowed an int column". Trying to count a lot of calls in VNQM. Thanks. Paulo

Yeah, I hoped to avoid that first because I wanted to find a solution to this issue so badly, you know, the old-fashioned way. Looked all over the interwebs for something that could crack this. Anyways, I guess agent it is

Same thing is happening with our NTA. We configured netflow on our interfaces which caters internet traffic to our subscribers and I haven't seen HTTP being monitored at all. I also looked into the monitored ports in the NTA settings and I haven't found HTTP listed, so maybe that's the big reason, but how can HTTP be not…

Hi Jeff, If I may, I just want a quick confirmation here: if the two devices are connected through trunk ports then ConnectNow won't work? Thanks!

Hello, were you able to find the solution to this problem?
