    • How do you store your passwords?

      I run into the same thing all the time... People who forget their passwords all the time or forget them for specific sites that they rarely log into. I always recommend people to use a system that will allow them to retrieve their password when they forget. Whether it be a spreadsheet or a password manager. Of course, the days of spreadsheets are long gone, but I still know people that use it. I am a firm believer in password keepers. Cloud based ones, so you can get your passwords everywhere.

      Specifically, I use https://lastpass.com/

      So the question is, what do you use and why?

    • RE: How Does Local Storage Offer High Availability

      @scottalanmiller I was talking more on a virtual, local storage level. As I'm a VMware guy, I tend to steer towards their technologies. Didn't know about all those other offerings, though. Thanks for pointing them out! 😄

    • RE: How Does Local Storage Offer High Availability

      I love SAN, but hate that it's pricey when you want HA. Even with VSAN in VMWare (being local storage), you still need it replicated to have full HA. It's always a tricky one when it comes to how much $$$ you're willing to spend.

    • RE: Installing Zabbix on Centos 7

      I started doing some more digging and found that there is a descrepency with the version of gnutls on Centos 7. It seems to crash the "zabbix_server" service. Because it's an unoficial release of Zabbix on Centos 7, the problem will be there till I downgrade the version of gnutls. So my question is this.... Isn't this a security issue since there has been a vulnerability in the previous versioning of gnutls?

    • RE: Installing Zabbix on Centos 7

      OK, guys... Now that I have the install and good and dandy, I am trying to connect Zabbix to an external database. Alas, it is giving me issues and the documentation doesn't show what needs to be done to connect to an external database. Any advise would be appreciated 😄

    • Installing Zabbix on Centos 7

      I am currently installing Zabbix on Linux and have installed all the necessary apps before installing Zabbix itself and have run into a dependency issue that won't allow me to install the zabbix database. The error is as shown below:

      Error: Package: zabbix-server-mysql-2.4.7-1.el6.x86_64 (zabbix)
      Requires: libnetsnmp.so.20()(64bit)

      Not sure what to do here as my research on Google didn't bring up anything on libnetsnmp.so.20.

      Any help would be very much appreciated.

      I've always used vi as it is standard across the board from all flavours of UNIX and Linux. I know it'll always be there for me.

      How did the ELK install go? Was it pretty involved or straight forward?

      Looking at getting my AWS certs but wondering which is the most sought after. Google didn't give me much to go on, so I figured I'd ask the community.

    • Installing MariaDB

      Hey guys,

      I've been building a Zabbix monitoring server this week, and was just about to install MariaDB for it's backend database (not for the front end). Was wondering if it would be better to install it as a db user or as an admin on the box?

      I'm enjoying a croissant and an espresso at a cafe, after being stood up by Amazon for my technical phone interview 😛 I think big companies need to understand that EVERYONE'S time is valuable, not only their's.
