Since you know, you get an email, and if it gets exploited, someone is going to say "Why didn't you respond to this email asshat?"

i.e. it is easier to tell yourself "I'll run a scan next week", it is harder to ignore emails that tell you have a critical vulnerability

I feel like if they are not automated and alerting us about high value stuff, we will just never get around to it

I'm actually for causing things to go poof, would rather it happens when I'm in front of the computer and already likely know the cause :-)

@AviD: Ya, that is pretty specialized, right now it is more getting our arms around all the basic stuff that comes out that would hit workstations and all our one off stuff

It is okay ... just another put down for the week

Hi everyone. I'm starting to look at security monitoring solutions to keep an eye out for vulnerabilities. Been doing an evaluation of Security Center + Nessus. Seems pretty functional (although the software feels a bit enterprisey). Anyone have any thoughts on Security Center / Nessus, or recommendations of other stuff to look at that is along the same lines?

Anyone use a netflow collector they are really fond of?

In other words, can you not set a variable for a node and reference it in a template?

Any puppet guys know if this is still true with puppet 3?

Not many for 4.3 million people a day really ( quantcast.com/p-c1rF4kxgLUzNc )

@NickM. 35-40ish at the main facility

@JayBazuzi Should be at the bottom, uses Disqus

We gave been a bit busy :-P

@JoelESalas I would want it if it had a third TB port, but with only two, still need to plug one of the monitors into the laptop itself

If you submit it, and someone else already has, it converts to an upvote I think

Ya, not sure who that was, but that is the post

Must have been moded

Hmm.. I had a post get traction that just got vanished

@MDMarra Really? See lots of stackoverflow content on there

Manhatten space is a bit crazy in a way, but it can be nice to be close to the facility

Next post will have the technical details (The stuff that actually interests sysadmins)

Post got submitted to news.ycombinator.com if anyone wants to contribute to my voting ring ;-)

Probably the scope matters to. So if it is pretty specific that is kind outside of the spirit of SF in my option. But if it is "How do I set up a Windows network for a medium office" then they probably need a consultant, or should be prepared for a journey :-P

@tombull89 I'm not aware of it, but honestly a bit more out of touch (Busy running server / team of SAs these days :-P ). My personal take would be I guess that is fine unless that is just what the person does all the time

@Chopper3 Oh sorry didn't hear about that :-/ Hope you get better!

@Chopper3: We have run into a network problem getting VMWare up with teamed NICs on our new Nexus 5/2k setup. The Nexus switches are in vPC (Each Fex is single homed to a Nexus, with with two nexus head connected to each other). With VMWare, the management network seems to die (but can still be pinged). We tried virtualizetips.com/2011/03/… but it still seems to die after a while. This sound familiar in anyway?

@Chopper3: Around by chance?

HAProxy, IIS, SQL Server, Redis, .NET

@ChrisS Not sure, sounds like a good question for meta

Pretty smooth as far as I know

Yes

It is not how big your server count is, it is how you use them

Maybe admins should start using one of those undefined networks :-P

@voretaq7: Ya, testing from localhost actually works better with my home network apparently :-P

Maybe that will be Sunday's project

I wonder if I can add some of my computers as computer nodes to openstack

Nothing works

That is what I get when I run it from my mac

Yes, going over the network

@voretaq7: Against http*s*?

Can't find any information on getting faster performance out of jmeter though

Only 20/s with Jmeter sounds wrong

I think I need something distributed, but that it also fast

Then each gets about 400 requests a second

No, just 4 copies of ab ;-)

There we go, now my box is hurting :-P

@bmike: Gracias

Anyone have a shopping rec for a webcam that works well with mac? I have a MS lifecam, and it doesn't always work, and sometimes the exposure just goes all the way to max
