• What do you use to visualize your topology?

  Two manually updated svg maps on nagvis that integrate with our icinga checks, one for the transport system nodes and one for the routers. Source: 12 months ago

• SSLPing permanently goes out of service

  Might be a bit of an overkill if you just want to check the certificates, but I'm using Icinga (formerly known as Nagios) to keep track of all of the systems - including webpage certificates. Source: about 2 years ago

  So the way I troubleshoot which one is losing connection is by setting up 2 ping monitors with pingdom.com. Source: over 2 years ago

• Stumped by some odd results using Salesforce's /speedtest.jsp

  Basically, I'm getting results like these on average: https://imgur.com/X7RV1LH from running Salesforce's speedtest tool. It's a pretty new computer, brand new job for me (though I experienced this in an old job as well) so I don't have a great baseline. As you can see, everything is good except the download speeds. I've checked my speeds on fast.com and tested my google mesh wifi from directly within the Google... Source: over 2 years ago

• Sorrento Website has so much traffic its failing to load

  A lot of websites worldwide went down in the last hour. 30k websites according to pingdom.com the number has been slowly going back down. Source: almost 3 years ago
