@DavidRicherby I've had multiple US Visas and apart from when CBP messed up my i94 exit date has always coincided with my visa expiry. It still seems foolish to book a ticket for after a visa has expired.

@abagail unfortunately they do this with scary regularity. I once found I was overstaying my i94 by months becusse the agent made a mistake when typing it in. Took weeks to fix. However in this case the op says the visa expires on the 25th so they never should have booked a ticket for the 28th.

FWIW when I take my kids into Times Square I look and sound like a tourist, even though I’m not, and that hip hop CD scam is the only one I paid money to escape from. It’s very intimidating. Don’t beat yourself up - there’s a reason it’s so successful.

Haha. As an Australian living in the US almost everyone I meet assumes I'm British. It happens so often I just go along with it, takes too much effort to keep correcting people.

@teego1967 rubbish. It entirely depends on your company and its culture. Where I work, it's not uncommon to see staff in their 30s playing video games before or after work, sometimes on their lunch breaks. Sweeping statements like yours are outdated, especially depending on where you work.

Good luck

Mark Henderson

Oct 25, 2016 15:43

Hopefully you can find it by exploring the docs themselves

Mark Henderson

Oct 25, 2016 15:43

That's all I can do I'm afraid. I'm 99% sure there's just something simple wrong in the documents, because I haven't seen kibana "miss" documents before

Mark Henderson

Oct 25, 2016 15:42

It's more forgiving than Kibana, but doesn't do visualisations or that sort of stuff

Mark Henderson

Oct 25, 2016 15:42

I'd try and get that plugin installed and see if you can query your data through that UI instead.

Mark Henderson

Oct 25, 2016 15:40

Just trying to find it

Mark Henderson

Oct 25, 2016 15:40

There is an Elastic plugin that allows you to actually browse the data differently

Mark Henderson

Oct 25, 2016 15:39

Still got "last 5 years" selected?

Mark Henderson

Oct 25, 2016 15:38

That's not very many

Mark Henderson

Oct 25, 2016 15:37

Mark Henderson

Oct 25, 2016 15:37

It might be useful to just see whats actually inside the index

Mark Henderson

Oct 25, 2016 15:37

Otherwise, the browser plugin sense will allow you to query your data with more power (but less UI) than Kibana can

Mark Henderson

Oct 25, 2016 15:36

You might have some mixup in the data inside the indices?

Mark Henderson

Oct 25, 2016 15:31

For the index one, you have 113227 undeleted documents. How many does Kibana say?

Mark Henderson

Oct 25, 2016 15:31

Or could the missing docs be null?

Mark Henderson

Oct 25, 2016 15:30

Are they populated in every document?

Mark Henderson

Oct 25, 2016 15:30

Or, you can turn time-based indexing off in Kibana

Mark Henderson

Oct 25, 2016 15:30

An index should only have time-based or non-time based documents in it, if you want to be able to browse it in Kibana. Otherwise Kibana will skip the documents that it can't determine the time for.

Mark Henderson

Oct 25, 2016 15:29

There is, but you can't mix time and not-time based documents in one index pattern

Mark Henderson

Oct 25, 2016 15:29

Create an index pattern that matches one of your indexes exactly (e.g. one) and see how you go with that

Mark Henderson

Oct 25, 2016 15:28

You caught me at a good time. I'm doing some maintenance on some of our Elastic indexes that have about a billion documents per index, so I have some time to spare

Mark Henderson

Oct 25, 2016 15:27

I would suggest creating a few different index patterns: one, two and three. Look inside each index and see if Kibana gives you accurate hit counts there

Mark Henderson

Oct 25, 2016 15:27

Mark Henderson

Oct 25, 2016 15:27

That's... not how Kibana is meant to be used. Do you actually have any time-based fields in your data?

Mark Henderson

Oct 25, 2016 15:27

You don't have date-based indexes, so I don't have enough information to tell you exactly, but my guess is that there is something being excluded by your Kibana range. Maybe you are filtering on a specific document type, or there is data outside of your date range that you're not expecting.

Mark Henderson

Oct 25, 2016 15:27

You haven't told us what the differences is though. How many hits is Kibana showing you?

Mark Henderson

Oct 25, 2016 15:27

How about you give us some more detail - tell us how different the hits and docs are. You're also probably better off querying http://127.0.0.1:9200/_stats/docs?pretty, as that gives you much more detail about the kinds of documents (primary, total, deleted). Does your Kibana index pattern match the index names correctly? Are you indexing daily/monthly/weekly/just one big index?

@RyanIG that doesn't tell me which processor it is. There are multiple Xeons that match that limited spec. Got an actual model number?

Mark Henderson

Jul 2, 2016 19:20

Honestly, just a guess, you've probably run out of PCI-e lanes. You don't mention which exact Xeon you've got so I'm going to guess a grand total of 40 lanes to be shared across everything. The cards probably don't operate below, say, 4 lanes so you may just be at the limits of what you can do. Just a guess.

I did try to reverse engineer the protocol that the built-in broker monitor used but I never had any luck. It's not published and I couldn't get it even with an NDA

Mark Henderson

Oct 30, 2015 13:51

And for our own servers, like I said we had our own monitor that was a thousand times better than the Magic one

Mark Henderson

Oct 30, 2015 13:50

And thats when our customer was "fuck no"

Mark Henderson

Oct 30, 2015 13:50

No wait, we already did the test environment and Magic asked if they could try it on the live environment

Mark Henderson

Oct 30, 2015 13:50

When I left we were meant to be building a test environment for them to remote into to test it, but our client was like "oh hella no"

Mark Henderson

Oct 30, 2015 13:49

But of course... it didn't

Mark Henderson

Oct 30, 2015 13:49

And it was meant to magically work

Mark Henderson

Oct 30, 2015 13:48

Restart the broker

Mark Henderson

Oct 30, 2015 13:48

Once the broker was installed you needed to enable SNMP in the mgrb.ini

Mark Henderson

Oct 30, 2015 13:48

If memory serves correct, you had to install the SNMP Windows service, then install the broker, which would give you the snmp.dll

Mark Henderson

Oct 30, 2015 13:47

Which is why I used to fall back to the usergroup

Mark Henderson

Oct 30, 2015 13:47

Our Magic distributor was in New Zealand and we were in Australia and of course Magic is in Israel so any troubleshooting we did needed to coordinate all three parties which was a nightmare
