Survey complete! Solarwinds makes my day to day monitoring and admin work so much easier, so I appreciate the opportunity to provide helpful feedback! Keep up the great work everyone!

@"xbod" I'm going to wait on further clarification as well. Maybe @"yumdarling" can bring some insight? 

graeme.brown​ I believe there are duplicate products listed in each category. I did the easy math first as well. I haven't gone back yet to do subtraction yet. It's too early in the morning for maths.

@"stuartd" The winners are listed on the original mission pages. You can still go back to June's page and see the listed winners. SolarWinds also e-mails winners, so if you don't see it on the mission page hopefully it doesn't end up in your spam if you won!

So I'll sound like a shill but the solarwinds channel is actually pretty informative. NetworkChuck is another good channel focusing more on the cisco/networking side of things. ComputerPhile is a really interesting computer science channel that goes deeper into the why and how of current tech, which I found from being…

Definitely agree there might have been something fishy with this question. Could have just been a trick question that I didn't read closely enough but I'm pretty sure I did not select an option that said solarwinds did the NAT-ing.

@"alansmith" Whoa! Now I'm double glad you mentioned this, looks like they are out of stock already!

I've got a test ansible server setup that I've been trying to learn. I feel like there is a steep learning curve here but I can already see some benefits so once it's all up and running I think it will save a ton of time in the future!

ebradford​ Today's question+survey just took me over 50,000. Congrats and here's to many more!

Don't dig to far people! The star fleet fluff is fun in the question but it is just fluff. 

schneiderstev​ While I understand where you are coming from, I'll have to disagree with you. Yes these questions are entirely at SolarWinds discretion, however the community cannot be completely ignored. If questions are viewed as unfair, or attempting to trip people up, or are intentionally (key word intentionally)…

Congrats DanielleH​ and team! I can't even begin to wrap my head around the amount of custom code required to do the crazy things here on thwack, and getting it to a standards system must have been brutal. I will say I'm particularly excited to the mobile optimizations and dark mode! My free time is crying but my eyes are…

kurtrh​ Or we riot until free swag? In seriousness though, this is just a fun learning tool with the prizes as a bonus. The prize we've all gained already is knowledge!

ebradford It's very possible. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the fact that I'm running on Windows 2019 on a bare metal server. I'm guessing that isn't a typical install, although it should be fully supported. Something blew up either with IIS, Solarwinds, or .Net. The other thing that throws me off is this…

I'm going to agree with @"-_-" that this would most likely be the end of the system. Full little solarwinds branded toys or geeky stuff is one thing but you start handing out (essentially) cash, and that would likely be the end of the system. Plus even at your highest exchange rate that would be wholly to much for…

@"smttysmth02gt" Is one of those reasons no pants? Be real one of those reasons is no pants.

There wasn't a vote option for performance. Performance is always my favorite "new" feature.

I wanted to vote more than once! I ended up with Tech Gadgets because they are usually super fun but they also tend to sell out the fastest. Is there a vote option to just re-stock what's already in the store more often? I've had my eye on the solar charger for a while but can never seem to get in quick enough to get it.…

I apparently didn't wait long enough. Updated yesterday on our Server 2019 box and the whole thing blew up spectacularly! Website was down but as far as I could tell information was still being gathered and put in the database and alerts were working though. Still pretty worthless if I can't get in to actually look at any…
