Implementing Argus (similar to netflow) what kind of information should I be gathering?
I am setting up a trial of Argus at my company as a diagnostic tool. We have a collector box attached to a monitoring port on our switch, and the initial plan is to redirect ports with unusual traffic to the collector and then analyze it to get troubleshooting info. I need to sell this before I can pitch a more consist...
As a first step I would recommend looking at the "official" Argus wiki page . It is largely a cookbook page that gives some great examples of the kinds of queries that can be run using the tools suite. Also worth browsing is the argus mailing list . Often interesting uses of the product are shared there. Additionally, ...

Drop-in replacement of Dell H330 controller with H730(P)
I am (slowly) upgrading some Dell servers. One of these has a H330 PERC controller which is quite slow (no cache, etc.). So I'm considering upgrading it to a H730P. It is a secondary server with two 4TB SAS disks in RAID1 configuration. My question is: is the RAID1 volume scheme compatible with H730? That is, can I jus...
They are both PERC9 serie controllers, so you should be able to simply swap the controllers. After that, your array will be market as "foreign" and you need to import it in the new controller. Pay big attention to these steps, because a wrong action will cause the array to be deleted. A working backup is a must in this...

mdadm how to use an array as a "member disk" in another array
I HAD a 4-disk RAID 5 array with MDADM. One of the disks failed. I bought a new disk three times the size of original disks as replacement. I now have 3x5TB disks in a degraded RAID5 1x16TB disk free unused I want to change the existing raid from 5 to a-sort-of 1+0 where only the old disks would be the "0" part: 3x5TB ...
Yes, this should work. But there is better way to achieve something like this. If you ever wondered how RAID10 or RAID60 are built, it's like this: system builds a number of small RAID1 or RAID6 arrays and then combines them into large "RAID0" array. Not vice versa, like having many RAID0-s mirrored or assembled with a...

MongoDB: insert operation fails but disk is free

Then I typed command [CODE] : [CODE] My MongoDB-files store at [CODE] , and there are a lot of enough space to store data. Th...
The only solution I've found is about 2GB-limitations in MongoDB on x32-machines. MongoDB can't store more than 2GB on x32-operation systems: http://blog.mongodb.org/post/137788967/32-bit-limitations But I'm not sure that that was the problem.

How to prevent "GET slash" http DDoS attack from frontend
Yesterday our webservers running Apache2.2 got DDoSed from a botnet which caused nine (9) hours downtime .

In front of those webserver there is a pfsense machine with hapr...
You won't be able to see the "GET /" from layer 4. That is only available at layer 7. It is best to block attacks as far away from the backend as possible. The sooner you can mitigate it, the better. You want it to consume as few resources as possible. If you can block it at the load balancer, great! At the firewall, e...

Are you running cPanel on your setup? The "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" is used by cPanel to check the status of the server, but shouldn't in itself be causing any additional load on the server so my guess is that there is something else and without additional information from you its very hard to suggest something else.

If you have that domain on your DNS server, simply add an A record with no name and the public IP address of the server that you want your customers to connect to. You would then need to set a binding in IIS with the hostname that you want, which matches the DNS record you just created.

I think it's safe to remove the non-primary key as it's an exact duplicate of the primary key. If one of them is used more and takes less space, did you check the fragmentation and last statistics date on both? Maybe one of them is more fragmented or has better stats.

Sonar scanner failer on force language to Kotlin
[CODE] I'm getting above error message when I forcefully set the [CODE] . But when I turn off the [CODE] property code will automatically scan for Kotlin and XML files. As on the image I have already installed Kotlin plugin to my Sonar server. There for can someone please give me a solution to resolve this error.
Do you need to force the SonarQube to set the language to Kotlin?? As I remembered, the [CODE] is somewhat deprecated (correct me if I am wrong). Right now, it will automatically detect the language that you are using. That's why when you try to remove the [CODE] in your configuration and build again, it should work.

Linux bonding: 802.3ad (LACP) vs. balance-alb mode
Here's the situation. I would like to connect my Linux servers to a single network using dual link for fault tolerance and load balancing reasons.

I'm not terribly familiar with Juniper switches, but you shouldn't have to configure LACP on them; that is the point of LACP. If this isn't the case, something is wrong with your switch configuration. LACP only specifies a protocol for dynamically aggregating ports. It does not specify a port scheduling policy (where t...

r10k 1.5.1 is the last version to support ruby 1.8.7. Even if you gem install 1.5.1, newer-than-when-released dependencies will be installed, which are also incompatible with ruby 1.8.7. Obviously resulting in non-r10k errors, and the reason you may be looking at this answer. [CODE]

Is this still considered an implementation of the strategy pattern?
In my project I have different types of entities. I get the data for these entities in text files from a 3rd party. I've written a class to read and parse these text files, using the strategy pattern. The method in this class must return different entity types so I've made the entire class generic - something like this...
Sir, you are still using Strategy pattern in less explicit way. However your code after change does not fully reflect that. You'd have to present the IStrategy interface fot completeness. However the main line of my thought is rather so: patterns are not blueprints, they are rather intellectual scaffold that more it is...

booting halts due to new disks being connected
I have a Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6 motherboard with the latest BIOS flashed in (version F13). I also have 4x sata disks (in proven working condition) from a different server. Two of them are Western Digital [CODE] and the other 2 the (very similar) [CODE] . To connect the disks I used 2x ASMedia ASM1061 PCIe-1x to SATA sata...
It may sound extreme, but I would rule out a power supply issue, by having all disks powered up, but the new four with their data cable disconnected. If the server boots ok, connect data cable for one disk, one by one, rebooting each time. I have had issues like this one (while adding a 5th disk), and turned out the po...

Nginx reverse proxy causing file downloads to take excessive time to start

I recently deployed a load balancer making my current set up as follows: Note currently I only have a single webserver to simplify debugg...
Nice edit, things are much more clear. It seems like this is an application timeout in PHP. My best guess is that PHP is completely downloading the large files to a temporary location then returning them, rather than streaming them back directly. This accounts for the latency, though not so much for the slow speed. I d...
