Please don't think that I am done learning .. but I am HERE! I worked really hard, just like you explained in the video, and unfortunately at the expense of my sanity and relationships at times! I actually "burned out" and wanted my employer to fire me because I could not quit. (It was a previous career in food service) I…

The basic use of SolarWinds is a major step in the right direction. Its about layers!

I like the concept... and it definitely applies to all hardware ... what about the non tangible ....... you need to make sure that you are using a good algorithm to calculate those non tangible variables ... I like Virtualization Manager for this case study! You need to constantly monitor all variables that impact business…

I want to say that I have leveraged the best of the best: SolarWinds! I have complimented with environmental sensors, NetApp Active IQ, and that about sums up my monitoring... bout every SW tool, but like I said, the best of the best!

You stimulated my thoughts .. I remember several situations where the lack of experience and inferior skills by the team caused the problem to get worse. Technical Debt!! Thanks for the share!

You sparked so many memories for me! I have grown so much over the years fighting the frustration. My new approach, it is so very time consuming, awaiting on the success stories, but each an every one is there... I added a new co-worker to the team about 4 years ago, and he keeps score for me!!! You have to bite down like…

I just joined THWACK a couple of months ago. I have been using the Orion Platform for several years... and have missed out on a lot from not joining THWACK. You all have got it going on ... I now find myself going to the site daily - checking on info, feedback, articles. I have been missing out ... the coolest game I have…

JUST YES!!! YES!!

Hey... they used my question for today!! This was a real life kick in my posterior!!! 

My network is so very lucky to have me... because I installed SolarWinds Orion and have made it soar. It takes time and effort to care for technology, it is so nice to complement the network with Solarwinds NPM, NetFlow, APM, NCM, IPAM, and Virtualizaiton; it allows me and my team to sleep at night. When we get our sleep,…

It was an awesome experience @"ChrystalT" and my THWACK family. So, I hate the sound of my voice but found that the amazing people behind the scenes really know how to edit and put the end result together. @"ChrystalT" sums up the experience above quite well! I was honored to be asked, and it was a privileged to…

WOW .. great information .. I continue to be humbled with so many tools! I appreciate you taking the time to produce this great document adatole .. I feel quite privileged!!!

OK... the last question... hooked me!!! Timing is great! Why not try it out! Thanks for the mission, the stimulation, the fun, and education! First month ever.. all questions are correct! Makes a difference when you can take and enjoy the mission! 

May 23 - I answered correctly yet received the red x... que pasa! I only checked the ones that were right

Thank YOU!!! You Rock @"kpina"

Oh my friend @"Jfrazier" never go to answer a question with a fuzzy Thwack Head!

I just upgraded and am working on a new map ... wanted to share with my THWACK friends. In light of the recent events in El Paso ... ​

Tough decision, but I went with the oldest!

The Snoop man has been round foeva! The Red Barron was my Dad's favorite!

I have had to do this ... what do you say ... against my better judgement. Just how do you override the "big" guy that thinks he knows is all?

I concur

CYA ... ALWAYS - I have found a way to craft an e-mail asking for a verified response!

My esteemed colleagues, it is an honor and a pleasure to be included in such a wonderful group of people. I don't belong to any other community! This is a handful and so well worth my time!

Checklists only work if you have willing participants! I am getting to all the articles .. great photo bomb Dez

Looking forward to this event! Thanks for sharing your time and wisdom @kekline and @"m_roberts" 

How do you get to the survey?

I went with Beethoven! I had a bird named Beethoven .. love both Ghost and Beethoven but went with the name!

I am not a DBA ... welll .. I am the janitor .. and the information and references will help me dearly ...... I am very proud of the Network - it screams (thanks to SolarWinds ... ok I am the NA!) - every now and then, our Application "freezes" for a second or two.... like when the SQL Transaction log is being backed up!!!…

Why you go making everyone hungry!! I was scrolling down, reading, enjoying the conversation... now I am just dog gone HANGRY!

Hang in there... sounds like a nightmare!!! Keep pushing to do the right thing; good does always prevail over idiot! I have found running folks over seems to get the job done, not verbally, but with work ethic and know how!
