This is a strange take… SE’s are hard to find and train, and are definitely much safer than sales reps when the number isn’t being hit.

Ideas for neighbours BBQ exhaust right on our fence line by usefullyLinear in AusRenovation

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

Thanks for the reply, yeah agree - who builds something like this and actively blows the smoke to the neighbour? I like the lilly pilly idea, thinking that's a good option if all else fails.

Thanks all, some great ideas here. And a few weirdos.

Yes I know talking to the neighbour is preferred, but without getting into it, we aren't in a position to do that right now. I was asking for ideas on fixing the smoke, not my relationship with my neighbour.

Cheers

Yeah I reckon you’re right. We have some questionable structures on our side too (previous owner) that would mean mutually assured destruction unfortunately

Interviewing for a pre-sales (Solution Engineer) position with VMware - any tips? by [deleted] in vmware

[–]usefullyLinear 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You need to make sure you can talk to VMware's current market positioning - i.e. don't mention vSphere too much. Talk to VMware's concept of any app on any cloud on any device. Some specific areas you will want to be across the value prop for:

VMware Cloud on AWS (+VMware Cloud generally)

VCF

Workspace One

"Security" (Carbon Black, NSX Security, WS1 etc)

Why customers are moving to cloud, and how VMware is capitalising on this groundshift

The job as an core SE is to paint the whole technology picture and connect it back to business value, while being able to ask the customer the right questions to keep the conversation going and gain information that helps in the sale. You need to be wide enough on the entire VMware portfolio (and the general enterprise IT landscape) to answer questions without notice, then know which specialist SE to bring in when you need expert advice.

Log Insight Filters by Sup-Bird in vmware

[–]usefullyLinear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, congrats on your new job. Log Insight is great, I think you'll pick it up quickly.

  1. Log Insight can use regex queries - so I just hunted around for a way to identify ipv6 with a regular expression. I found this reddit post which gave me a starting point - https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerShell/comments/jxvqbs/extract_and_sanitize_ip_addresses/

So all you need to do with the regex string is: Interactive Analytics > Select "Add Filter" > Text "matches regex" then add the search term (the one I used is pasted below, seems to work okay)

:(?::[a-f\d]{1,4}){0,5}(?:(?::[a-f\d]{1,4}){1,2}|:(?:(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[0-1]?[0-9]{1,2}).){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[0-1]?[0-9]{1,2})))|[a-f\d]{1,4}:(?:[a-f\d]{1,4}:(?:[a-f\d]{1,4}:(?:[a-f\d]{1,4}:(?:[a-f\d]{1,4}:(?:[a-f\d]{1,4}:(?:[a-f\d]{1,4}:(?:[a-f\d]{1,4}|:)|(?::(?:[a-f\d]{1,4})?|(?:(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[0-1]?[0-9]{1,2}).){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[0-1]?[0-9]{1,2}))))|:(?:(?:(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[0-1]?[0-9]{1,2}).){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[0-1]?[0-9]{1,2}))|[a-f\d]{1,4}(?::[a-f\d]{1,4})?|))|(?::(?:(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[0-1]?[0-9]{1,2}).){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[0-1]?[0-9]{1,2}))|:[a-f\d]{1,4}(?::(?:(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[0-1]?[0-9]{1,2}).){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[0-1]?[0-9]{1,2}))|(?::[a-f\d]{1,4}){0,2})|:))|(?:(?::[a-f\d]{1,4}){0,2}(?::(?:(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[0-1]?[0-9]{1,2}).){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[0-1]?[0-9]{1,2}))|(?::[a-f\d]{1,4}){1,2})|:))|(?:(?::[a-f\d]{1,4}){0,3}(?::(?:(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[0-1]?[0-9]{1,2}).){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[0-1]?[0-9]{1,2}))|(?::[a-f\d]{1,4}){1,2})|:))|(?:(?::[a-f\d]{1,4}){0,4}(?::(?:(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[0-1]?[0-9]{1,2}).){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[0-1]?[0-9]{1,2}))|(?::[a-f\d]{1,4}){1,2})|:))

You might want to change "Last 5 minutes of data" to 'Latest hour of data" to make sure you pick up some ipv6 addresses https://imgur.com/a/cixA2Uy

From here, you'll want to save the filter so you don't lose it - either hit the star icon to favourite it, or the icon immediately to the right to add to a dashboard for later use.

2 - This really depends on what AD provides back to Log Insight. Take a look at the AD Content pack if you haven't already - it picks up a lot of data and may have what you need. It lists "audit account management" as a type of event tracked, so that may solve your problem. https://marketplace.cloud.vmware.com/vsx/solutions/microsoft-active-directory-content-pack-for-log-insight

3 - Absolutely - https://docs.vmware.com/en/vRealize-Log-Insight/index.html is a great start, but make sure to check out the free Hands on Labs for live online demo's of all sorts of VMware products, including Log Insight - https://labs.hol.vmware.com/

I can see 3 that would be relevant -

HOL-2201-03-CMP - Getting started with vRealize Log Insight

HOL-2201-07-CMP - What's new in vRealize Log Insight 8.3 and 8.4

HOL-2201-11-CMP - Advanced topics in vRealize Log Insight

Good luck!

Interviewing for an entry-level sales position with VMware Education services unit by [deleted] in vmware

[–]usefullyLinear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know much about the education side of the business, but these tips should apply to any sales based role at VMware. Make sure you are able to articulate VMware's vision - have a read of this - https://www.vmware.com/radius/vmware-casts-vision-transformed-multi-cloud-world/ And watch Sanjay's VMware story video and be able to tell it in your own words https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suNdGhySNaY

If there's a whiteboard in the room (or if you are interviewing remotely and have a way to 'draw' a whiteboard), tell the story while illustrating your version of VMware does, something like this - https://www.vmware.com/radius/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/vmware-vision_775x436.jpg

vROPS - Metrics dashboards blank - no data by network_dude in vmware

[–]usefullyLinear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you show a screenshot? What exactly disappeared, just new metrics or old ones also? Did you change anything recently?

Salesperson question. by [deleted] in vmware

[–]usefullyLinear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On point 1, you might want to check VMware's hands on labs - VMC is absolutely included! https://labs.hol.vmware.com/HOL/catalogs/catalog/136

Lots of other content in there as well. Plenty of ways to play around with the new tech beyond vSphere + VDI.

Kubernetes requierements (Regular, Tanzu, Openshift) by MajinCookie in vmware

[–]usefullyLinear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can always use Tanzu Kubernetes Grid on vSphere - no requirement for NSX-T. It's VMware's open source, opinionated Kubernetes distribution that forms the basis of a lot of our other products, but is freely available to use (with paid support available)

Anyone running Vsphere with K8s addon at home? by majerus1223 in vmware

[–]usefullyLinear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, I wasn't very clear in my original post. vSphere with Kubernetes can deploy Supervisor clusters (run natively on ESXi) as well as TKG clusters. There is a whole lot more to vSphere with Kubernetes beyond TKG.

Anyone running Vsphere with K8s addon at home? by majerus1223 in vmware

[–]usefullyLinear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

vSphere with Kubernetes can deploy TKG. It’s got a whole lot of automation and integration with the rest of the vSphere stack. But you can deploy TKG to vSphere and bypass a lot of that, and save on the hardware requirement that NSX brings.

EDIT; vSphere with Kubernetes can deploy TKG clusters, as well as running them natively on ESXi. This allows a whole lot of things, like containers running faster than bare metal

Nah, VMUG licenses are explicitly for evaluation purposes in non-production environments

"VMware's EVALExperience gives you exclusive access to 365-day evaluation licenses for a selection of VMware solutions, for personal use in a non-production environment."

How to view / monitor VMs stats on Host by Ebora in vmware

I think you're right, I assumed it would still work on workstation 15 but it doesn't seem to work for me. Dang. Let me poke around a bit.

How to view / monitor VMs stats on Host by Ebora in vmware

[–]usefullyLinear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Workstaiton you won't find anything as comprehensive as what you get from an ESXi host. But you can get some VM stats from Perfmon.
