What if the data warehouse if something that's inside every one of us and they're not working on it because they want each of us to find our inner data warehouse and thus, ourselves? "A journey of a thousand year uptime begins with a single single ping."

BUMP! I like big bumps and I can not lie. This other reporting can't be denied.

"..when will SolarWinds get around to porting their apps, especially the Orion NPM, to a Linux based appliance and possibly an open source database? By hitching their wagon to Microsoft, they put themselves at a huge disadvantage in terms of licensing costs." I agree. so. much. I doubt it will happen I've seen this…

I agree. I would love for SAM to have the built in ability to monitor log files for several conditions: - grep for a string or strings (or more specifically, regex patterns) and alert if file does or does not contain the strings - check modified time and alert if not modified in x minutes - monitor for log file size ( too…

I've been on both sides of the single/multiple vendor argument and watched the "single pain (sic) of glass" dream die more often than it succeeds. The "use a single vendor" idea works as long as nobody else allows anyone to purchase anything outside of the vendor which is impossible since no single vendor can handle…

I think I'll use that line the next time someone comes to us because their app can't reconnect to the database if there's the tiniest blip in connectivity, caused by anything . It's almost 2020, and for some reason some app coders (usually some 3rd party app we bought) can't envision the database connection ever not being…

Agreed and upvoted. I had a similar request to add this to the AlertCentral product. I worked in an environment where we built a custom "user can subscribe to alerts on their own" feature in the alerting/notification product and it was very useful. Very few users actually used it because understanding how to subscribe to…

For categorization, I could see selecting some attribute or group and making that autobuild what part of the categorization tree it belonged to. For example: In each rule have a ....single drop down selector? of say "Grouping property" for the Node OR the class the rule is being written against (Volume, Network, etc.). You…

For work related things: I usually get few if any requirements, asking people for requirements usually goes nowhere OR I get vendor specific features (because they used/had xyz in the past). I collect what I can for a short while. Then I make a spreadsheet. Requirements and features on the left side, a separate product in…

yes! We are mostly using IPAM as a "spreadsheet" for keeping track of IP addresses, and having a link into AD/DNS that is "management" and not "read only" is unnerving as we simply don't want any of the admins trying to do IPAM work (cleanup, anything) and inadvertently messing with these outside systems that are 100% more…

Thanks! Just knowing things were (probably had to be) done by hand/in house is useful info. I've done some *very light* android development before and at least I would feel better about...rationalizing ...about putting something together knowing someone else went the same route.

I had forgotten about this post... and this logic may make me go through the trouble of making a new avatar gif with a big frown instead of a "meh" face.....or maybe no face and "protest" with just the words: _________ | demand | | thwack | | idea | | 1145 | --------------

I firmly believe they will keep it "forever"...if you're willing to contractually pay per MB/GB of your data to be kept "forever" . "The Cloud" always seems to have that little catch in it: Cheap to get started, expensive to actually use as an enterprise level app... also: if you hesitate to say "spl..." which can also be…

yep, its annoying. I have 1 HA license, and I'm using it. This is above the 90% threshold so the constant notification appears. Why would anyone have HA licenses and not be using them all? If they did or did not, who cares?

Bump. Yes: if they have node management rights, allow them to manage nodes from the "same place" that this option appears for admins. The workaround to add the "Manage Nodes" to the Home menu bar is ok, and works, but ... why make everyone do this vs "just make the 'Node Management' option under settings visible to those…

Q: Do you rely on comments in code or something like Extended Properties on database objects? A: Only when I expect someone to find their way into the code (like me) and it's a little creative or I copy-paste something I didn't read or fully understand. I always copy the URL of the site(s) I pulled the original code from…

I haven't shopped around in awhile (and Verizon isn't the cheapest provider, I've heard) and I'm reasonably sure I could save a little if I did but I'm just not one to spend every year reading up and trying to find the best deal and constantly switching things around/new accounts/websites and password to keep track of,…

YES -> "if node rediscoveries picked up on orphaned volumes and deleted them and replaced them with new volumes"

In my experience: Yes. Dev/test licensing is typically "free" or thrown in as a perk during negotiations. Usually dev is licensed by locking down to a handful of connections/nodes/components/users/etc and that's just enough to replicate the core functionality/product line the prod environment, i.e. you get dev license for…

What fascinates me about this idea and all the discussions before it: This is really a request for a (seemingly) small change in how they sell their products. It's seems on the surface to be more of a business/management level/marketing problem than a technical one. We are literally asking for the ability to pay more money…

curious... Was the format you mentioned above *literally* all the fields in the format (4 fields total)? If not do you recall roughly how many fields there were (internally)? I've seen a few systems that, over time, ran into ~100+ fields (internally , after thr event came in) . Granted, a lot of these fields were for…

Ha, that's random: "If a potential winner is a legal resident of Canada, he/she will be required to correctly answer a mathematical skill question." I feel, to be fair, if an American wins something similarly bizarre should be required. Maybe write a 3 page (minimum) essay definitively determining which BBQ is the best, or…

Thanks for #3. Now I won't be able to sleep at night knowing how well they are sleeping at night

Since SW may not be able to communicate back... maybe a standard 1 extra thing (in a drop down selector) that SW has chosen to group on? Like a specific piece of the sub-product that can be broken down into e.g. "alert management" or "Alert manager" or "Maps"? Something that would be beneficial for the SW team (like the…

I've been trying to keep up with this thread.I believe the current options are: 1. Download the 30 day trial version(s) of the products you want - Optional: after 30 days, request time/license extensions from your SolarWinds rep.? 2. Buy the cheapest licenses you can for a second environment - Optional: talk to your rep…

I never learned to sight read sheet music . Is that ....."Thunderbump" by AC/DC?

Fingers crossed! I've been printing all my historical data so we don't lose it. Just the sight of all that uptime brings tears of ....joy to my eyes.

If I'm an admin, and yet I cannot edit something a normal user created, then I am not an admin.
