JHVH-1 posted:It seems like the place I am at has all that set up in a way that works. They have groups for the application admins and certain special apps that go to the right people. The stuff I am going to be on call for comes from nagios and when its acknowledged there it automatically acknowledges it in Pagerduty. Seems like the way they use it is sms or push notification in like 5/10 minutes and then if thats not answered then it calls them to wake people up, and then if nothing from that it goes to a secondary on call. How did you get Nagios acks to forward into pager duty? I thought that wasn't possible? Or am I thinking about pager duty not forwarding acks to Nagios?

Dark Helmut posted:I think it's important to note that it's ok to have an open and honest conversation with your recruiter about salary.

Thanks boss for the nice chat You probably figured this out, but if she hadn't brought up your allegedly far-below-par skills a long time ago, like in previous performance reviews, then she's full of poo poo. She's probably personally insulted that you don't want to work for her anymore (egomaniacs and narcissists get this way), and felt the need to put you down in response. Incredibly petty and unprofessional, and I would have been tempted to tell her that. Only tempted though; I actually am a professional. Just don't take what she said to heart.

I think when you Ack the alert you have to hit the "send notification" checkbox. I don't think it works the other way, the pagerduty plugin works as a notification script in nagios. When we moved away from a pager to pagerduty last year I was pleasantly surprised to see that nagios will resolve the alerts in pagerduty too (as long as you set it to send notifications to the pagerduty contact for OK status)

There is a connector that enables pagerduty to submit a service acknowledgement to nagios: https://github.com/jeffwalter/pd-nag-connector

Thanks for everyone who gave me advice for that interview the other week. I got invited for a second interview and now have a new job!  The same morning they told me, someone else offered me interview for another job. Guess my latest CV re-write was an improvement as I hadn't had anything but recruiters calling me for months. Nice pay bump (I pushed for a little more than I normally would and got it). Briefly met the team and they seem like a good bunch. Got invited to their Xmas night out, but still get to go to my current works' do. I really like the company I'm working for just now, but there was no scope for advancement and I've honestly been here too long because I was comfortable. It's also in Edinburgh, which is one of my favourite cities, but I'm looking for flats and it's frighteningly expensive. There was a one bedroom flat with a combined kitchen/living room charging £1300 a month in rent.  Still, all going to plan I should be sorted out in time for the hogmanay street party.

Thanks Ants posted:Also it definitely doesn't sound like your job to find out what someone you don't manage does all day. Stay far away from that surveillance poo poo. Who said I'm not his manager? This guy is so incompetent. Watching him use a computer is like watching my grandma use one. Yesterday we had a call with UPS (that he took a month to schedule) so that one of their guys could re-configure this middleware that hits our iSeries and pulls customer info over when you scan an order, the email address wasn't being imported. So the person on the phone asks him to go to https://www.gotoassist.com and it took him almost 5 minutes to get to the actual site. Typed the name in wrong 50 times, then he typed it into Google, then it took another 3 minutes for him to enter the 9-digit or however long invitation code in...He can barely use a Windows computer. It's scary. He never emails the rest of the team about stuff, he always comes over to your desk to tell you in person, no matter how simple the thing is. The ongoing joke is that his Outlook broke a couple years ago and he can't bring himself to ask anyone for help on how to set it back up.

Docjowles summed up a lot of what I was going to write because it basically boils down to the problems with your lovely paging system. If it's generating noise on non-issues or things you don't actively identify as problems then it's wasting everyone's time. And that leads into... if you are getting paged and not being compensated to investigate those pages then you are being shafted. Obviously the former exacerbates the latter.

(this customer also had three separate, yet totally unrelated, internet outages last month, so we are already on the cusp of being kicked to the curb, so we have to be super vigilant to any problems they have.)

Bob Morales posted:Who said I'm not his manager? That clearly doesn't matter, because he's still been employed there for years, despite whatever incompetence you see. Then again, I don't think I've ever seen you say anything positive about your work or coworkers, so I dunno. Keylogging/screengrabbing his workstation so you can try to figure out how to do his job is just incredibly passive. Learn to talk to the man. Or fire him and bring in a contractor who can do what he does (he's unlikely to be the only person in the world with his particular skillset) that'll train someone. This invasive behavior and dystopic work environment just screams problems, whether or not you're his manager, and whether or not it's within your rights as an employer.

Oh, we've got problems with it. It's such a mish-mash of systems and services, I'm surprised it works at all. And the whole thing is entirely reliant on an old, physical, Server 2003 machine sitting down in our server room. We've been saying for a while it needs to all get overhauled and upgraded, but obviously that's a big time and money sink, so it keeps getting pushed back. I was talking to our resident "old fart" who's no longer on call (I essentially took his spot), and his advice was basically to Hell with what management says, if you get woken up, it counts as "doing something." Since most of the time they aren't scrutinizing the on-call payment form you submit to HR and cross-referencing it to the off-hours paging analysis, it's not like they'll really know.

Anyone have any experience with reliant technology for hardware support? I assume it's poo poo, but they claim to offer the "same level of support for 40-70% less than what you currently pay." Anyone have any experience with them?

An interview came in; Junior IT Support  During the short telephone interview when asked the expected salary, I threw out £18-22k, they said much lower... like £14-16k (I make this now, still officially contracted as an office bitch)  I said I'd go along anyway, so I'm booked in for next week as I've got a load of holidays to use up anyway. Apparently the interview will consist of; - There will be a brief breakdown of what we do - A review of your CV - A small practical test - Brief Q&A Someone's expectations are off, and I'm not sure they're mine.

Welp, got an interview on Monday for a "Senior Systems Administrator." The job description is the same as for "Microsoft Systems Administrators" they've been slowly hiring recently, but I'm interviewing with 4 people and 2 of them are heavy hitters. Jesus that just sunk in I'm being interviewed by 4 people. TIME TO PANIC.

Crossposting from the Boston thread but I'm running quotes for a CCNA/CCNP to work on our switches/routers after hours, best quote I have so far is $180/hr from a union shop but I'm sure other shops or certainly an individual could compete with that. Anyone have recommendations of local shops or know someone?

Same. Well, not about earning more than daf, but in approximately November 2012 I stopped working as a cook and two jobs/two years later my pay has easily tripled. Thanks a bunch goons. My resignation was not handled particularly gracefully - I asked for a $4/hr raise, they balked, I got a job offer and they counter-offered with a $30k increase. I don't really know how they expected me to take them seriously after that. New job is neat. I went from Jr Sysadmin (IIS monkey) to "Network Engineer" in a linux environment. It's been an interesting culture shock so far, even simple things like "escape ." keep blowing my loving mind.

Okay, but when I lived in Arlington I could go weeks without driving because everything that I needed (groceries, night life, friends, and a free shuttle to work), was all within walking distance or easily accessible via mass transit. There's more to picking a living space than how much grass you want to mow and how much space you have to fill with furniture.

Sacred Cow posted:God drat it So apparently even after all of ^^^^ this, the company wanted to hire me. After I told the recruiter "absolutely not" to a TTH job he called me back and said they were willing to hire me direct and accepted my salary requirements. Only downside is my commute goes from 12 mins in a car to 1 hour on the metro. Upside is better pay, better title and zero Help Desk crap on top of my normal duties.
