Weird.. just random kids showing up.. parents have no clue where their kids are, etc.
Sounds like the 80's when I grew up.
People are so paranoid these days.
It's OK if someone knows someone, at least in my neighborhood. Any given time there is a scene like that at someone's house.

LOL he's been there for like 3 days...

Is it us being paranoid or are we just more aware of nasty people (of all ages) out there. Also the attitudes of kids now a days is really bad, and is a reason we don't like our kids playing out side on the estate. e.g. constantly hear the neighbours kids just bad language at each other, and even the parents.
When I was a kid we wouldn't dream of it.

Thirteen kids have descended on my home! That's in additional to my own. Most around eight to twelve years old. Our deck is loaded with kids playing games.
That's so cool! I'd be in there playing games with them!
Kids are great.There was no room to play!

Yup. The taller, older girl in the back had been over earlier and says hello from the street often (when I'm at my desk I can talk to people on the road since it's just a gravel path a few feet away) and had been over with about eight kids earlier in the day. She's kind of the parent of the group.

What is the primary language? Romanian?

Yes. It's the only major language in Romania. There is a bit of Magyar (Hungarian) but I get the impression that pretty much no one doesn't speak Romanian.

You can often find signs in three languages as German was the tertiary language here until recently. But Germany gave everyone citizenship in Germany and they literally all (but a handful) up and left overnight. So no Germans left.

Spent some time re-doing my PRTG network status dashboard. This is on a 70" display in the conference room outside my door. Camera feeds are the server room (aerial pano view, can be flattened), rear server room entrance, basement phone room/demarc (lights off! stay out!), and office entrance. To keep out the riff raff, you know. (We keep it locked and installed a wireless doorbell, try getting IT support now, ha HA!)
The last dashboard I made just had one big sunburst display for all our devices, and it got to the point where the outer spokes were almost illegible. So I broke out the core nodes into individual maps (WAN, LAN, servers, IP cameras)

@crustachio Nice!

The neighbourhood dog is here playing with the kids.

Except I think at this point the kids out number the dogs still?

@MattSpeller Thank you sir. PRTG is remarkably easy to work with once you get going. It's a great tool, and has proven its worth countless times. We use the dashboards for keeping an eye on things, and it alerts us via Slack and/or Email depending on the particular notification. We could also tie it into PagerDuty if we were insane crazy people.
I particularly like being able to look at historic metrics and averages for things like uptime and bandwidth. I also have some geo maps set up for things like WAN links (remote sites, water/cell towers, etc). The pre-canned sensors are awesome -- they have lots, and can hook right into common things like VMware SOAP, Cisco, and Dell/HP management engines, for example, in addition to the common stuff like SNMP and WMI. The mobile app is great too. All in all it's just a one-stop shop for network monitoring. And my setup is not really scratching the surface of what it can do.
Probably my biggest disappointment with it is that its syslogging functionality is pretty limited. It can receive syslog traffic and you can do basic searching, but it doesn't export or interface with anything else like ElasticSearch that I'm aware of. Kind of a shame since it's 99% there. But then again, what it does, it does really well, so I'm just as happy not to muddy the waters.

Just had four posts answering peoples' questions on SW because the answers were posted here and you have to pay if the info is on an external site.
