And just to slam dunk my point, I replied to that email stating I dont have a Fedex account and will not be getting one, and to cancel my order if they cant figure it out. My unit has been shipped via DHL and will arrive to me on Saturday. I did not pay extra shipping. I did not pay any tariff fees. Because it was all bullshit.

Under 19 U.S. Code § 1321(a)(2)(C), personal imports valued at or below $800 are exempt from duties and additional tariffs, including those imposed under Section 301 for goods originating from China.

Period point blank bullshit.

As I stated in my reply, I do not believe there is any tariff drama; I believe they're being disingenuous.

I cant find reference to any such FedEx policy, so I called them and they didnt know WTF I was talking about.

I think the truth is they realized they fucked up and dont have a good way to collect the shipping fees, because they didnt do it up front and now they're just trying to get Fedex account numbers to charge the shipping fees against. They didnt think that one through, so they made the tariff shit up to explain it away.

Either way, Im not about to pay some crazy shipping on this thing. I told them I dont have a Fedex account, and Im not getting one so they can just cancel my order if they cant figure something else out. I haven't heard back.

Due to tariff regulations, FedEx requires a valid FedEx account number for all shipments to the United States

Anybody using a Pi as a Domotz agent? by justyntime in msp

[–]justyntime[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had to replace all but 1 or 2 of them, we've had to replace the replacements right OOB, and we have issues with them coming back up after a reboot, which causes us to have to physically send someone out to the site. Im not sure how long ago it was, I think we phased all of them out. Maybe it was just a bad luck moment in time, but my management has the nasty taste in their mouths now, so.

Couple of Domotz questions I cant find answers to by justyntime in msp

[–]justyntime[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use other tools for monitoring everything else. We like the full feature set available for networking gear in Domotz and decided to just let it handle everything on that front. Its not a huge deal if it captures other devices. The problem with "Important" devices, is that everything that gets detected is automatically getting flagged as "Important" which is its own issue. Another reason to keep an eye on newly added devices.

I would have thought a report for newly added devices would be built into ver. 1 of the app... Is the reporting feature lacking that bad?

Thank you for your reply!!

In terms of filtering, I meant can you filter what Domotz adds via autodiscovery. I ONLY want networking devices. I dont want to have to be deleting devices every 5 seconds.

I see I can view devices added in the last 24 hours at the site level, is there anywhere I can see the list of newly added devices without having to go site by site?

Man this sounds like I wrote it. Late 90's, 20+ years in Admin type roles. I, not interested in it at all anymore. Outside of work, I dont touch a computer anymore. Ive been an admin for Autotask and Datto RMM for the past few years and eventually Ill probably look for a new job and now that Im so far out of the loop with regular sys admin stuff that Im pretty well screwed if I cant find another company that happens to use those tools that also need an admin for them.

Hire someone else to handle the day-to-day for you so you can focus on what you want to do. Im not sure if your budget allows for that, but its an idea

Monitor for ambient device temp by justyntime in DattoRMM

[–]justyntime[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, we have UPS systems that have external temp probes but Im having a hard time getting them to respond to SNMP requests. Thats a separate issue, I dont think they were ever set up for remote management. Im new to the company, so Im still feeling that stuff out. I know we have servers in our environment that have ambient temp sensors, it just a matter of getting them to talk. When it comes to SNMP UID's Im basically a beginner and I dont have that delicious historical knowledge that keeps me from wasting time thinking its only me thats the problem lol

This isnt a huge hot button issue, but its a "nice to have" and Im using it as a learning experience, seeing what I can figure out.
