A necessary honest opinion...

Hi all

I plan to replace my current server syslog (Kiwi syslog) with Log Insight.

I would like to hear an honest opinion on how adequate Log Insight is a replacement of syslog.

I am currently collecting events from a multitude of network devices (Cisco, Fortinet, etc.) a number of Windows servers, Out-Of-Band (HP ILO, Dell IDRAC) management and a small number of Linux virtual machines.

I export and archive events after 6 months on an SMB share.

I would like to hear if Log Insight is a solution, how is it allowed, what are the possible restrictions, advantages or disadvantages.

Grateful in advance.

Thank you jpsider - your ideas are very useful. Just trying to make sure that I understand the comments because the words/phrases as "custom queries" and "correlation" means different things to different people technically both are possible in LI, of course it depends on the specific use case, but what are the characteristics that you are aware of / tried. For example, LI normalizes the timestamps already (and has since version 1.0) for different formats between VMware logs and Java applications have no importance. See for example this post: time to the Insight Journal: events, timestamps + queries - SFlanders.net. In addition, LI has improved over time and now natively supports a parser of timestamp on the client through the agent LI: newspaper Insight 3.0 Agents: Timestamp Parser - SFlanders.net. Long story short, I agree that the product has evolved since you finally tried, but I also think to a also had features such as custom queries and correlation. Of course, none of this is to say that he adapt to your specific use case.

  • Honest opinion on download or update drivers HP

    Hello

    I just want to post my opinion on how disappointed I am with HP services to download drivers, and I really hope that it will go to the right ear.

    1.) manually from the Web site:

    -We ask you for your product AND serial keys, and yet you are offered drivers for the entire series, so you have to guess what wifi card you have, what GPU etc. Manuals also containing all possible combinations, so even once, guess or use certain Tools of information 3rd party hardware.

    Update of 2.) Windows:

    -half of them and/or he is happy with a default won't find Windows drivers

    3.), HP Support Assistant:

    -This utility looks like the first option you would use, yet she never yells at you that you have active guest account and simply identifies your CURRENT installed drivers, HP or Windows by default. By clicking on the button "Update" takes time and then it gives you more alerts, tips and research only half of the drivers.

    4.) HP Softpaq Download Manager and HP System Software Manager:

    -Basically, you have to guess what they find at random, because the HPSA is linked everywhere. Then, SDM/SSM actually concludes your product as close as possible but still not exact (HP 630/631 in my case), then it can find all the necessary drivers, but some are obsolete compared to the manual download Web site.

    In short--Hewlett-Packard, what gives?

    This is a quality post and great comments.  Just to let you know, he comes here by HP experts and will be shared with appropriate people.

    Is there a specific driver, you need to find?

    Hi Swetha,

    Your layout of the Web site looks really good.

    You must have the best concept of sprite images used in your blog. There are also a good number of external style sheet files in your theme in the quiet.

    gives player more chance and comfort for reading your blog.

    I assume you are using a shared hosting from justhost and speak the dns of loading up to 3 seconds which is very bad.

    Normally for a good Web site should take up to 0.6 seconds to 1 second maximum. This is the reason why your blog is looking for slow.

  • Honest Opinion on Metalink3 customer connection replacement

    I had a look at metalink3, and as a PeopleSoft customer user of the connection, I certainly would not connect me to this site again.
    By far the worst possible solution Oracle has implemented...

    You're right, that it becomes very difficult to find something useful through the knowledge tab. We should be able to devote the topic and see the subtitel without going inside, often means that we have to go and choose another link if the first was wrong.
    I don't know, but it seems that the new design of the Oracle support are not for technical people who wants to rapid search and information clearly.
    Through this new site, nothing help in this way.
    One last thing is the search for product, not list, we are force to put something that exactly matches what is currently...

  • replacing existing ATE traditional PXI based ATE

    Hi all

    We use a traditional ATE equipped with traditional instruments for example transmissions cope, Agilent: switches; Mux; Matrix; DMM; Generating function, Chromaower supply, etc...

    I contacted OR to obtain praposal to replace these instruments OR instruments. The price of the products OR is higher than the traditional instruments of compratively. Now it's hard for me to propose this to my managemnt.

    Which in general; You people do to replace the traditional ATE with this new S/o, PXI?

    Can I use same digitizer for high channel count to replace measuremnt instrument such as scope, DMM?

    • DMM: PXI-4072 (I LOVE this DMM)

    • Switches/MUX: NOR has a good range of PXI switches that work well.  I wanted to play with of Pickering PXI switches, especially their BRIC.

    • Function generator: the PXI-5421 is a very good generator of arbitrary signals.

    • Power supplies: Agilent has a good series of modular power supplies (N6700 series).  You can put up to 4 power supply is a single 1U chassis and communicate with them via LAN.

    • I use Chroma electronic loads, but I don't really like them for situations that I was forced to use them.  They are really good for loads of constant currents, but I hate them for the constant resistance loads, unless you are less than 100 Ohms.  Always looking for alternatives.  Also glued using GPIB or serial communication.  I'm trying to push to the local network for cost reasons.

    • Oscilloscope: I found that the transmissions expanded are the best way to go.  It is really hard to replace a real screen on a scope that you can play with during troubleshooting.  And the means of integrated measures, I don't have to deal with the wave form myself.  Yet once, talk to her on local network.

    • Counter source (power supply with a multimeter accurate built in): been using the Keithley 2425.  Tempted to look at the NOR meters source especially because Keithley seems just refuse to go to the local network.  But it's a counter very good source.

    In my honest opinion, PXI has its place and have their own traditional instruments.  PXI is very good for the right instruments (switches, multiplexers, DMM, AWG, low current power supplies to).  But I find the traditional instruments are necessary for feeds that need to come out of the current charges and decent electronic (again, due to current needs).  I used scanning cards of EITHER before, but I always come back when I have to debug and how it is nice to have a real screen showing my waveforms and then be able to play with the sliders on the fly.

  • Comments for BlackBerry - why the world do I need Java to install the Simulator

    I'm building a new developer workstation and everything moved very well except for the part, I'll install the latest Simulator, it won't install without Java.

    The funny thing is that its only necessary to decompress the vmware (!) files. Once the files are copied and VMware picks it up Java is not used.

    In my honest opinion, it's kind of weird and totally unnecessary.

    Thanks for listening. ;-) Have a great weekend.

    The BBM Server Simulator, which is installed with the 10 BlackBerry Simulator requires Java.  The device Simulator itself does not work.

    BlackBerry Momentics also makes use of Java, but it includes its own installation of Java, so you don't need to install it separately.

  • How to import layouts with vectors and direct type?

    I seem to have met a stumper on basic AE workflow. I would like to implement a workflow where I can set an application designs, then put in AE to animate and control the camera around. My intention is to make graphics like this: http://vimeo.com/25123730 (OK, well, not nearly as slick... yet)

    The difficulty is, if I throw my drawing in Photoshop after I import it, it will allow me to convert the direct type, but the vector shapes are pixelated all and I can't get them as vectors. If I throw in Illustrator, the shapes are net of all vectors, but my type is rasterized. I think that there is something that I have to Miss here.

    What is the solution?

    Missing you something, it's just like that. There is always hope for CS6 and beyond, but for now the only type of "vector", you will get Photoshop of text and the layer, which will be converted to AE masks, clipping masks if the PSD is imported as a composition. However, if you want to get an honest opinion: people obsess too much about this vector stuff. Many times it is not necessary to make it work still a raster image enough size and that's what I see looking at your example. The camera movements are not this extreme that they need excessive detail.

  • Equium L20-197: to upgrade RAM and CPU

    Hello
    I recently bought a l20 - 197 and if im happy of all, what I want to do is upgrade the ram and processor. Ive found a supplier for ram (www.crucial.com), even if I need some details on the processor that it taken and if it can actually be upgraded.
    Thank you!

    Hello

    Before I try to give you some info on the upgrade, I want to just comment on your ad. Satellite L20 is actually a unit of budget and doesn t expensive. Now, you want to invest enough money in the hardware upgrade. It's not really illogical. Why you didn t get more information and bought the best unit as Satellite M40 or same M70. For a 300 or 400 dollars more, you can have a superior unit.

    Sorry, but the best idea is to sell your one and buy another unit. This is my honest opinion on this subject.

    Now something about your questions: essentially upgrading the CPU is not possible due to the permanent connection method. The processors used in laptops are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP (tape carrier package).

    RAM upgrade is possible and meaningful. Your device has 512 MB of Ram in one slot and unit can handle with 2 GB max.

    Good bye

    If I install clean windows again and then play this video then it wil work correctly, after I installed word, exel, my printer, virusdriver and so on, so that video won't work no more place.
    If anyone can tell me what I need to do?

    Post edited by: Sathumax

    Hello

    Why if someone tell you what to do? You have already published the resolution (perhaps unknowingly)

    > If I install clean windows again and then play this video then it wil work correctly, after I installed word, exel, my printer, virusdriver and so on, so that video won't work no more place.

    So if you install applications, then generally performance system, due to newly installed services, tools in the systemtray applications or background, that all ends with this stuff
    (word, exel, my printer, virusdriver), you mentioned.
    So in my honest opinion, I you suggest reinstalling your system and then follow these steps:

    First AN application (for example, the desktop) install and try to play your video. Should the video smoothly and then continue to install the software (as anti-virus) and check again.
    If the video is smooth after each new software installed, proceed with the installation of the following.
    But if you recognize yourself, the video starts to run with the stuttering and slower speed, then the last installed application you´ve is the software that uses too many system resources.

    If you discover which application causes the video doesn't work so well, then try to find another software that does not have as many system-power of your computer.

  • Extract and save all the channels of the PXI-5105 with 4 M of edge detection... Help!

    Dear collegaues!

    Please help me to improve my request, exhibit attached and sorry for my English.

    So my task is to extract and save all the channels (eight) of the PXI-5105 with 4 M of detection of peaks and sample rate 4 M with loop 1 sec...

    Entered all my channels are wiring detectors NaI with 0, 5... 1 microsec pulse (really) width and 0 kHz at not more than 40 kHz freq.

    Why I chose the registration of 4 M and the sampling frequency of 4 M namely? Answer is that I tested previously PXI-5105 40 kHz generator and pulse width 0.5 microsec. It works great and detection of peaks indicate 40000 pulses/s for me. If I set lower than 4M record and sample rate of 4 M, it is without work. In my honest opinion record 4 M and the frequency of sampling of 4 M are parameters very min.

    In the detection of peaks time present only 6 working channels... When I connected to diagram more 6 "detector.vi peak" - I see the error "...". out of memory... ».

    Advise me please, what needs to be done to it, it's all working well.

  • How can I replace a "cooked"?

    I was using my Xoom as an aid to navigation/traffic using Google Maps while driving a couple of weeks. The Sun beat down on the screen of the Xoom because it is in the passenger seat for several hours. It got very hot. I think I have fried the battery.

    A few things happened:

    • The battery oddly charges and what use it will suddenly empty.
    • The back of the Xoom is slightly distended on the right side.
    • There is a small area of the screen that has an interference figure. Probably where the LCD display is now in contact with the glass.

    Is it a simple misuse of the Xoom? I've seen a dismantling of the Xoom and replacing the battery seems simple. Maybe I'll do it after its 4G upgraded.

    I would definitely contact Motorola. I've looked everywhere in the specifications for the Xoom and see no mention of an operating temperature standard or a caution do not use the Xoom to sunlight. If the Xoom got hot, it must have a thermal switch that kills the power before any damage occurs. I know that my will is (the Droid2 GSM version) Motorola Milestone2 stop charging the battery if it becomes too hot to avoid damage like that. I guess they would do the same thing the Xoom.

    A device like this should be able to handle running continuous navigation indefinitely without causing damage. If this isn't the case, it's a huge design problem. I think you have damaged the battery, but in my honest opinion, you have nothing wrong that this should be covered by the warranty.

  • Windows updates installed and now I can not start vista normally

    Hello, I have a problem starting my OS after windows updates to install. I have a laptop Dell Studio 1737 running Windows Vista SP1 x 64

    I installed the windows updates and they are normally installed on the closed part (steps 1 and 2 of 3) but the computer restarted once he ran Microsoft Corporation with the Green loading bar animation. He hung there for quite a long time as usual but I thought it had to do with updates. so after that the animation, the screen off, turned back on and it was completely black. a mouse jumped out for about 10 seconds, then disappeared. I noticed that the hard drive light stopped flashing and there is no other activity after that. CTRL-Alt-Del does nothing. So I had to hold the power button and restart. This time I used Safe Mode to let it boot. He traveled the drivers being loaded and hung up "pilot charge: \SystemRoot\system32\drivers\crcdisk.sys ', but eventually started. After starting, it linked the part "Configuring updates step 3 of 3" 0% to 100% and then just stood there and the mouse began to blink. Yet once, there was very little hard drive being indicated by light activity. After 5 minutes, it was clear, he was not any progress made by letting it continue. Yet once, forced another shut down.

    I repeated the process with the same results from the point to let start normally to force stop and meet at configuring updates step 3 of 3 to 100% but frozen in safe mode. I was perplexed what to do because I could not access the computer at all even in SafeMode! I forced the closing down and grown up recovery tools and tried to startup repair. has nothing. I tried the system restore. It is interesting that told me I had NO restore points and yet I had just installed one small not updated but there is 30 minutes. Also, I can't imagine there is no restore point after having owned this laptop for almost 4 years. I took to my faithful Tablet for some Google-ing in depth on this particular issue in the hope of finding a solution. Well, I came across an article that leaves me at least cancel the thing trying to get up-to-date and freezing. It required that use you recovery command prompt and delete the C:\Windows\winsxs\pending,xml file. After the reboot (in safe mode) Finally I could connect and access my files save them! Finally! only it isn't the end of the problem. I still cannot start normally. to do this, the above-mentioned actions of when I try to boot normally.
    I tried so much google - lies about different things, it might be and who either do not resolve problem or steps they indicate to tell me to change a registry entry to something which in my machine is already what they say before it takes. Also, I can't uninstall updates because the windows update program does not open in safe mode. I have run chkdsk and nothing. I stopped everything to boot at startup, with the exception of microsoft. I uninstalled any program that can run at startup. I ran an anti-virus (Avast & Norton separately) and lift you own. I have a ntbtlog.txt I can post if necessary. honestly, I don't know where to turn at this point, except for here. If no luck here ill get my backup files, take my computer to a local store and have them diagnose or if worse comes to the worst case, a clean format and reinstall that is not presented.
    Thank you for any advise on this issue, as I don't know what to do next.

    What I did I tried to disable the network, modem and audio drivers. It took time, but start normally thereafter, but he made a strange (and continuous) boot process he never has ever done before. Once in normal mode, I started to allow the drivers one by one and it turned out to be one for the audio driver to date. During this audio driver was activated it will disable all entries as the trackpad, keyboard, USB and particularly hard drive! so it would freeze almost instantly after activation there and closes one forced would be necessary. Device Manager Microsoft told me this audio driver was updated, but it wasn't. The company that provided the audio drivers had changed the names through the merger or buyout, or something and the new audio drivers were under the new name. A very strange situation.

    I had to search around and eventually find the latest drivers for my system setup and audio on dell's website, and it said it was a "Recommended" update This update of the driver should be mandatory if you want to continue using your computer! It is one of the most used audio dell service providers! Why he would only recommend?
    In any case, thank you Jeremy for your time and help!
