I feel like I'm late to the game... but i'm here

The link above is a great place to start with securing it.

We use http://www.wordfence.com on all our (the company I work fors) sites it goes a long way in securing them and alerting you to issues quickly.

IMO worth putting on the premium version unofficialspiceworks.com runs the free version which does the job paid for one gives better scheduled scans and external checks.

Turns out the network map was pants...

@coliver I started off using Nagios core but then found FAN which bundled Centreon as the frontend for Nagios which made it nicer to use and gave me a GUI configuration rather.

I think its moved to its own fork of Nagios now though which I'm not sure is a good thing or not.

I've read about Netwrix as well, however I'm critical on those I install on my servers

Topic in SW:
https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1967683-free-file-auditing-software

I've just started using Netwrix on my file servers, seems to work really well and doesn't have much overhead. It can email alert if there are a large number of changes. Fully searchable and can use SQL as a database backend if you have one already setup. If not it uses I believe an access database (don't hold me to that).

It uses the window auditing log to get info about the changes which means its trying to engineer anything new in and will setup the auditing for you on install.

Was really quick to setup and come in fairly cheap

Goes back to lerking...

@scottalanmiller said in SW First Post Thread:

This has to be (not to took my own horn) the most famous post ever on Spiceworks. One day, I posted some very clearly needed corrections to misinformation on SW where people were attacking open source and @akp982 provided the challenge that took me from ~15 posts over every days to the top poster of all time in just a few weeks...

Ohh and not meaning to be bitchy but you have 18 contributions to spiceworks community I have how many?

Me and you have had some good times on the community xD

runs away

I had / have this issue on my phone (nexus5 using chrome) it normally loads the content after about 30/40 seconds. Before that its just the header.

On works 100mb connection and good wifi signal it still shows like attached for 5/10 seconds. So probably just my Internet at home too slow to load it any quicker.

@oschaudhary FAN hasn't been updated in years (well 2 years)

https://download.centreon.com/ has a more up-to-date nagios core and centreon front end, moving from one to the other is a @@@@@@@@@@ but its much better supported by the community and has a better update process.

Its missing nMap by default I believe but its easy to add in
