I remember it well. I remember when the first AT (286) came out with 1Mb of ram. But yet programs were still running out of memory even once it was upgraded to 4Mb. Some craftiness in config.sys, allowed to make use of the extra memory. Now stuff just works

I think that's what it looks like will end up being.

I don't agree. I work in a network team and am not responsible for any server so SAM is a waste of time for me. But if we all become one big happy family and monitor everything using Solarwinds, then I can see the benefit.

And this was cable I removed recently in another data centre where all the servers had been removed but no one had bothered to clean up the cabling. It was not fun packing up all these cables!

I think the answer was pretty easy but I just did a google search to see which one went GA in November 2019.

All questions answered! May the best or luckiest person win

Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy New Year! All the best

Totally agree. I do a fair bit of alerting using my syslog server. But these alerts are created after the issue has shown up. I monitor all BGP and OSPF alarms this way.

Love to help but I don't use SAM. Sorry.

Bouncing network devices is different to flapping links. Nodes are polled by default every 120 seconds. So you could lower your polling time to get a "down" email quicker. For the out-of-the-box BGP flapping alerting, you can use the Alert called "Neighbor is down". But using the alert engine will not show flapping…

I would love to come but being in Australia it's a little too far to go, let alone bring a friend

Finished! I had no idea what the last letter would be until now. I knew the second word but the first word had me stumped. Thanks for a great mission!

I've just upgraded to 2019.4 so I've been playing around with the map. "When you create those manually connected lines in Atlas - they never change status correct? You can specify an assignment but don't get any of the information actually bubbled up via the map itself without some sort of interaction correct? In Orion…

I was on Thwack for all the previous ThwackCamps but the timezone difference made it real difficult to attend for the full day. I was lucky to attend in person in 2017 but all others I've managed to only attend the first session on the day. I do have shirts though:)

So you're saying the sentence should read "Which ONE of the following support case numbers have been fixed with the ......". Doesn't sound like good english to me. So I don't agree with you. I stand by my original comment.

I had no trouble answering question 6. In fact I could only find 1 possible answer. Maybe I'm too casual as this whole contest thing

Documentation can be very helpful at times. Other times it can be a waste of time. If in the above example they started looking through documentation, would they have found the answer was a rule in the firewall? Maybe, maybe not. One other issue is that at my work place, security is a different team. So I would never see…

Well said If I still relied on my CNE that I got back in 1993, I would've been unemployed for a long time!

I did exactly the same and I got it right. All the info was in the hint page but you did need to click around to see extra info. Just using control-F would not cut it for this question.

Today (Oct 12th) hint link does not work. It's going to https://thwack.solarwinds.com/resources/b/community-announcements/posts/link which gives a Page Not Found error.

I think AppStack is a great product but I don't have SAM, WPM, VMan, and SRM as I'm not responsible for apps etc. So I'll never get to try it out.

Setting passwords seems like such a simple task but even I struggle remember with numerous passwords I need for different systems, software, forums etc. And some I only use in a blue moon, so that makes it even worse. So I use a password program that stores all my passwords. Downside is I have to remember that one as well.…

Unfortunately I didn't recognise over half of these villans.

maria.bungau‌ I just answered today's question and I was able to access the LEM demo but it contained no changes. I watched the video to get the answer. For last Friday's question, I also used the video to get the answer. I've not used LEM before so it's cool to see what it can do.

That's great to hear!! 

In your example, config write is via TFTP. The OP is asking for this to be via SNMP. That ability is not in NCM. For TFTP you need a username and password. For SNMP transfer you don't. You only need the community string.

This clearly 'shows' the answer to 13D. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers#:~:text=Under%20RFC%201149%2C%20a%20homing,can%20carry%20Internet%20Protocol%20traffic.

Agreed. I found the right answer without reading these comments

Great post. I totally agree to much monitoring is no good for anyone. I just have the right amount of alerts to make sure things are running smoothly. Overload means it gets ignored, or real issues get lost in the total amount of alerts.
