"Do that to me one more time" was not one of my fondest memories of my childhood.

I used HP Openview and Ciscoworks prior to Solarwinds. HP Openview was just an expensive waste of time. No one could understand it! Ciscoworks was better but you had to do a course on it to get useful stuff out of it. It was not at all intuitive. Solarwinds on the other hand was a brief. Easy to configure and start getting…

Is today's question set up correctly? The answer is really obvious but yet it doesn't work. Could you please confirm question is ok, then I'll keep looking. Thanks!

I can't find it either. I wonder on which type of 2960 it will work on. When I try and look at it manually I get

With staff numbers continually being reduced, we have to rely more and more on being able to do things remotely. I do whatever it takes to get the issue resolved. Solarwinds obviously alerts us to any issues and then I just use whatever means to get problems resolved. Not all of our sites have IT staff, so sometimes it's a…

I would only install the daisy-chained switch on the proviso that there was a budget to do it properly. But sometimes I don't have a choice, I must get something in and operational ASAP. We do what we have to do but I do try and get it done properly afterwards.

Great mission, well done! It's really inspiring me to do the NPM 12 install very soon. The F5 monitoring looks fantastic and I can't wait to use it.

Great history lesson! Yeah the AWS outage was a pain. We move everything to the cloud thinking that things will be cheaper and will be up more of the time than if we still ran everything in house. I'm still not convinced we are saving money going with the cloud.Cloud solutions should never go down IMO. I'd never thought…

I did the quiz and I got the following error when I submitted my answers. So I did it again and I'm sure I picked the same answers again and then submitted it again and got. Just thought I'd let you know in case my answers are there twice. I probably should've done the quiz last week too! But I got too busy at work

Yeah the first one got me a bit as well. I then went back and re-read it and then it was easy. Then I looked at these comments and could have saved myself some time :D

I still haven't used Uber. There's just something about it that I can't warm to. I never catch cabs (unless it's for work so they pay anyways) so I haven't had a need for it. But in the time of need, I'd still pick the good old fashioned cab.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone! I've got a set of the original floppy disk coasters - they bring back memories of days long gone by. I've enjoyed all the missions this year but was bummed to lose my MVP status after 10 years. I'll have to put in more effort.

Hi Doug Things I have found helpful are scripts that members have done to download configs from certain devices. And reading solutions users have offered other users, I have found that some of these have actually helped me get more out of the product. As they've offered another way of doing things etc. An inside in 'what's…

Interesting theory. Only downside I see with using Logs, the device will have to send out every bit of information in the log file or it would need to be configured to just send out the logs for the information you wish you see such as CPU utilization. There may be overhead issues if the device has to send out every single…

Yeah I don't think anyone saw how popular this game was going to be. I mean how many adults were into pokemons before this game?

I worked that night from about 8pm till about 3am just to make sure everything was ok. It was a fun night. There were a number of staff on hand. At midnight we watched the fireworks from the roof of the building. Then when went inside to see if anything was broken. All was good

It will become active when the time zone matches. Try again in a few hours and it will work.

Where do you see the point information? When I click on my points total, it takes me straight into the store. I can't find where to see my point activities.

Yes the other answer does fit but the question was "Monitored by the first webcam at Cambridge University". Google shows the answer to be - The Very First Webcam Was Invented to Keep an Eye on a Coffee Pot at Cambridge University So coffee pot does not fit. What is a synonym for coffee pot? There is your answer.

You can do this with a filter as follows.

Sweet! I haven't won anything as yet but I'll keep trying. At least now with Australia eligible for prices, I'm in with a shot. All green ticks for the 3 weeks

Why a bye? People voted for him for a reason, not just "because". It was a legit win.

New year, new mission - hooray!

Yeah I agree. I'll believe it when I see it

That's a great suggestion @"smttysmth02gt" !

Done

Everyone should just enjoy it for what it is. So what if you get a question wrong. It's not like your life depends on it. And it's not like you've paid to enter this competition. Personally I'm getting a bit sick of the whinging when questions don't make 100% sense. Just go with it and live a little.

This one was from Dec 2018 but things like this come up a fair bit so just keep a look out.

I always look forward to the new info dished out at ThwackCamp. Unfortunately due to my timezone, I can't watch it all live. But I'll never forget 2017 in Austin! I noticed a small snippet of that event in the video
