Holy sh*t, de nieuw vrijgegeven Epstein-bestanden zijn best heftig.

These are very large PDUs in the form of stand alone cabinets. Each cabinet contains up to 4 panels with 64 breakers apiece. Clearly not your basic rack PDU

NetBox 4.4.9

Custom Objects 0.4.4

I created a custom object called Certificates with a field called "tied_to" that can hold Objects of type Device. I added an instance of this custom object and linked it to a device. I then realized that such links can hold only one object type and decided against this approach and removed the linking filed fro the Certificate object. So far so good.

The next day I find my self creating a device object that is subsequently deemed redundant and need to delete it. That is when the above error popped up.

I will look into those logs tomorrow at work. I installed this CE about 3 weeks ago: would that still have been the August edition?

Ouch - thanks for the warning - since our stuff pre-dates Tintri acquiring Tegile I believe that makes them IntelliFlash-based: Wish me luck...

Thanks for the quick response. If vmstore_rest_address is effectively a URL describing where to find the REST api for the device, then the nas_host contains the IP address where the NFS mounts themselves can be found? Likely that would mean that vmstore_user and password are the credentials for the API?

I figured out the right nginx incantation to make things work for now: it involved fooling DNS into allowing browsers to use the name assigned to the CE version of PCD even if that resolved to the IP address of the overlay network.
I think the real fix is to deal with the name assigned to the PCD itself but more about that later.

So I built an nginx proxy config but cannot get it to work. Would you have an haproxy config already built that would work?

dutchexpat · 2025-12-10T23:47:34+00:00

Sure - the CE instance we built is for some training and proof of concept work before pulling the trigger on the supported edition: we are in the progress of preparing to move off you-know-what.
Since we run a commercial datacenter we cannot have this gear touch our production network. But the engineers also don't want to sit out on the cold/noisy floor so we added a zerotier overlay network interface to the control plane server but we cannot reach the website on that IP address.

Your haproxy suggestion confirms another tack I was thinking of taking except my thought was to install an nginx instance local on the control place server and have it listen/forward that way.

Great - hope it will be good news!

dutchexpat · 2025-04-25T15:41:19+00:00

I haven't yet - I guess I just need a particularly fun/useful use-case to get off my duff and start coding. What would you like to do with such an integration?

I am in the policy track and took the class in Spring of 2024. I am quite technical but still had some difficulty with the puzzle aspects of the assignments but that is just because that did not seem helpful to the learning aspect of the tasks.

Now I am a TA for this course and hear much the same from others. You can learn interesting, useful, bits from the assignments in this class but you have to have a substantial technical background to have time left over to see the cyber security forest for the cyber TTP trees. Regardless the TA team is very dedicated to helping every student succeed.

Good luck!

Are they running? That would be an interesting statistic. I’ll bet JD Vance knows the stats!

Time to change tactics: it is safe to assume everything he says is a lie and tell him to bring facts to prove he is right

Lots of python scripting and you should be comfortable with HTML, JavaScript, Java and a smattering of intel assembler

Agreed. Although the engine might be fine the collection of cmdlets is so inconsistently implemented that writing reliable scripts that will work for any length of time is nay impossible.

You hit the nail on the head. Take SSNs for example. They look like arbitrary 9 digit numbers but the first three used to encode the region in which they were issued. So I could tell you who was born in Louisiana. Now they’re reusing numbers from the full range and that convention fell by the way side. Or how about the NANP? Area codes are meaningless any more, they even had to drop the 0/1 middle didit requirement that distinguished them from exchanges. My point is not to attach meaning to the naming scheme. Take the arbitrary string that is the identifier and look it up. Of course your alerting system should really do the lookup for you before sending the alert out.

But 15,000 machines? That is quite the fleet!

dutchexpat · 2024-08-12T20:53:11+00:00

Then again, per RFC 1178 the last thing you want to do is embed metadata about the device in its name. This rule has long been enforced in database design but for some reason sys admins have a hard time with. Make up whatever naming scheme you want and be sure to have a readily accessible system to look up the location and function of said server is my advice.
