Already blocked the time on my calendar for "Training". Can't wait!!!

Since LEM isn't a traditional SIEM but does offer strong reporting data visualization. How about a comparison of LogWatch's reporting/data visualization to LEM's?

Okay. Forgive me, me a nebie. I have not participated in a RC before. Where do I ?go

Very true! Here are my thoughts... We seasoned professionals understand the delicate balance of feeding our curiosity, adhering to our responsibilities, and meeting the expectations of our bosses. Hollywood loves to play up the rogue, the wild card, the lone wolf, and the loose cannon... but in the real world we all know…

What about courses we took only a few weeks ago?

Definitely... SAP uses Jive as well, the "SCN" (SAP Community Network". I've been trying to liven that place up as much as I can but man its tough. I am this >< close to saying, "Hey! Go look at Thwack to see how a site should be run! C'mon people! This is supposed to be fun!"

A selling point that I adopted and have had great success with is the, "Consolidation of other vendors dashboards." Each hardware: server, SAN, firewall, back-up technology, comes with it own interface and login credentials. I would need the equivalent of a FTE to check them everyday for proactive monitoring and…

Wasn't the devious website, Ashley Madison, using bots to entice unknowing subscribers? Or am I thinking of a different technology? I've read about bots on Twitter that will do silly things for entertainment purposes. But I have yet to read of a bot's real value business value example. I am assuming that they exist for the…

I feel like I responded to this blog already. Is it me of have there been a flurry of articles related to datacenters the past couple of days? Anyway... As one who is responsible for monitoring and not responsible for infrastructure or datacenter I am a huge fan of consolidation and reducing the footprint. The less moving…

I long for the day where specific data can only exist on a specific network. And when that data leaves that specific network it deletes itself immediately. Overhead be durned... it make my life, and I am sure soooo many others, easier.

I asked the question in your first post (Zen And The Art Of Infrastructure Monitoring. " I have a server running an application. I have a disk array. I have a switch. I have a firewall. I have a WAN. I have NPM/SAM/NCM//NTA/Patch Mgr/LEM. How do I monitor and manage it all effectively?" I have my landscape monitored pretty…

I am loving these Security conversations. I am finding them to be a great reference for my budding security strategy. Starting small, taking manageable bites, and laying a roadmap for what's down the road with the help of these articles.

Or... get other people to guess for you and use process of elimination!

Great way to wrap up the year! What a fun time. I amassed close to 100k in Thwack points this year. At least I think I have... ;-) (shameless plug!) If you'd like to see the historical progress of your Thwack points earnings vote for this! https://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/7061#start=25

"Traditional storage". Interesting concept... I long for the day that the same applies for OS, SQL, hardware, web server, etc. The management of versioning is such a drag. :-(

Jfrazier , could one make the argument that the requirement for Documentation is addressed in adherence to #1, partly #2, and #3? (In theory of course) Like you I am a big fan of documentation but I have abandoned writing things down as they quickly become obsolete. I now prefer digitial, "On Demand" documentation.

"How Operations Can Help Dev" - Oddly enough I have a blog article coming up on the Customer Revolution. In it I cover on how Operations can support their customers, both internal and external. Success will be achieved by this mindset.

Friday bump!

My company was one of the first 7 companies to adopt SAP HANA for the pure reason of near real-time BI/Analytics/Reporting of our warehouse operations. How many cases and orders were being processed every night? How much was being spent on warehouse staff? Was the location of our products in the warehouse the most…

This is like Deja Vu all over again! :-)

"moving the bottleneck..." a game I used to play many years ago with the engineering team. Make the disks go fast? Well then the controllers are too slow. Upgrade the controllers and then the server's motherboard is too slow. Upgrade that and then the NIC/CPU is too slow. Upgrade them and then the network... it doesn't…

In my experiences I have come to realize that many times it is the network. But more specifically, it is at the physical layer. Next in line: configuration issue... aka incorrect setting(s).

As the Cloud providers come parading in to our office promising near-unlimited computing capability to our executives I have witnessed a fundamental shift in mindset. Prior to the Cloud capacity constraints was the sole responsibility of CIO's and infrastructure teams. Now with the Cloud it becomes the responsibility of…

It'll bring tears to your eyes! ;-)

I went to college to be a police officer. Not to be a beat cop, but criminal investigations, specifically employee theft, embezzlement, fraud. This was early 90's. Police departments weren't really hiring, especially those with no experience like myself. So I got a job as a security guard in an office building working the…

I am still a fan of the archaic "Funnel Approach" for access security. One Way In! One Way Out! And that Way (aka: data, traffic, bandwidth, etc.) goes through layers of security... namely firewalls. The distributed approach bothers me from a cost and administrative perspective. I realize the risks of setting up a…

I wouldn't say shy or bashful, per se. Just a general awkwardness until I get comfortable with my surroundings. lol! Plus, I must confess, I've enjoyed all of your non-Solarwinds blogs/articles/entries/etc. most. I do enjoy your Solarwinds stuff too. But... you know what I mean. Like what you put last December. Good…

Silly question. I linked my accounts. My profile shows that I linked my accounts, but when I look at my Missions it says I am 80% done. What else is there left to do?

Did they have a memorial for Chandler and Rachel from Friends?

I think today's question is messed up! DanielleH can you take a look? :-)
