1a. Categorize your data. There is data that you care about and there is data that you don't. Don't let the two get mixed up. This will provide benefits in so many areas: backup & storage costs, restoration SLA's for the data that you care about, Disaster Recovery efforts.. are just to name the obvious ones.

Really informative questions on Dameware this week.

How did I miss this article before? Man I am slipping... I would add a step: "Inventory." Know your inventory...

C'mon folks! I need your BUMP!

Planning Optimization is like planning to lose weight. Once you reach your goal you don't stop else you'll slip back to whence you started. Instead, you adopt optimization and you practice it in all that you do. Your goals are important. If your goal is to reduce VM instances and data by 10% then once you reach it you'll…

In my experiences I have seen Capacity Planning mature in one of two different ways: 1. By Incident. Obviously this leads to incomplete and disjointed Capacity Planning practices. 2. Service-by-Service, or Technology-by-Technology. This provides a tad bit more holistic data but still there are many gaps. Very few times is…

Monday Morning Bump! It's better than coffee!

Wednesday Bump!

You guys rock!!! Thanks everyone!!! Badge earned!!!

Don't take it personally. I can count on both hands how many of my ideas get voted down or not voted on at all. I have learned that sometimes it's about timing.

"Data Warehousing for Orion..." Subtle... ;-)

What I will be curious to know, and I may even start a poll on this, is what do you do with the data? For example, you find a user going to WWE.com website 6 hours a day everyday. Do you go directly to the user? Their manager? HR?

I still exist in a hybrid IT ecosystem. Some legacy physical infrastructure, private cloud, and public cloud. Far too often what I see as the reoccurring roadblock is Budget, sheckles, cold hard cash. The technology is just out of our fingertips. DevOps utopia comes at a steep price because un-utilized capacity is $$$…

mikesky, it looks like we are finally able to build Joe Coughlan his customized dashboard! Oh! Wait... On a related note, I really like where this feature is going...

This session is titled: "Optimizing the Data Lifecycle: A Monitoring with Discipline Series" And you said, "..best practices to optimize the consumption of that data." Will you be touching on components of DVM to complete the picture?

Nice choice with the Jack Links. Lately I have become addicted to their jerky chew. My wife is soooo happy (NOT!) Original Jerky Chew – Jack Link's Protein Snacks

In the case of logging of workstations... if you are dealing with an enterprise environment and you have multiple thousands of workstations you want to establish proper filters to keep your logging at manageable levels.

mikesky This is something we can look at for when you are out here this week, especially Atlas and maybe even AppStack.

We utilize LEM heavily in this space (As a matter of fact I pitched it as our preso opp for a Baltimore SWUG). We are rooting deep and wide through all of our AD logging and finding 10's of thousands of repetitive errors. From expired certificates, to failing Service accounts, to failed user logins (usually from a smart…

BTW, I love the creativity that was used in providing the options in Wednesday's answers.

Jfrazier , bleggett , ecklerwr1 ... all excellent points! To achieve a complete and comprehensive monitoring strategy of applications it is near impossible. These applications don't exist in a vacuum and the importance of the dependencies can quickly become an IT expert's undoing. Logs, ports, Services, Processes, Traps,…

Hopefully enough people got to read your link on malicious email links. Because Wow! was there a nasty release of ransomware yesterday. To be safe I deleted emails en masse. Much like my utility bills, if it's important it'll be sent to me again. Our political situation at home and abroad is reflective in the ongoing…

Yea... this needs to become more of a thing. I've been loading new nodes into my SW a lot recently totally forgetting that it defaults to poller 1. I didn't realize that I ended up crushing it. Manual load-balancing is sooooo 1990's.

*sniff* My poor Nessie.Always a winner in my heart and every time I visited the shores of Loch Ness I will continue to spend far too much time looking out hoping to catch a glimpse.

Boy! Everyone has it out for the poor end user. The poor, poor, poor end user.

iDRAC's don't get near enough love as they should....

This shall be an interesting exercise in self-reflection as it will quickly spill from our professional lives into our personal. Remember the Butterfly Effect everyone.

I recently wrote a blog response on a similar post re: training. Sure, $$$ is a constraint. Time is another. Motivation/Priority is also a biggie. Here is what I said re: taking advantage of free training. That eliminates money... Take Solarwinds for example. You could spend six months consuming all of their free training.…
