RE: Guide: Reducing license usage (EPS) by filtering verbose Windows Event IDs.

That's a huge amount of EPS for just three IDs. Makes me wonder about the baseline log configuration you started with. Were these events being audited...

RE: Whitebox or Writesonic for a 5-person content team on a budget?

RE: Switched from Qualys to Orca - cost went down, but coverage?

RE: Rolled out Elastic Endpoint to 500 users - what broke and what didn't

Congrats on the rollout. That minimal performance hit is a big win. The initial console lag you mentioned, was that purely a UI slowdown or did you s...

RE: My results after using Cribl to mask data for a PCI audit. Passed with zero findings.

RE: How do you all deal with the lack of detailed, real-time bandwidth monitoring?

That last point is key. Without knowing *what's* causing the peak, how do you even start to optimize? You could be burning bandwidth on a misconfigure...

RE: Switched from one observability tool to another - here's the data migration approach

Dual-write proxy at the application level seems like the right call to avoid schema hell, but I'm stuck on how you handled the data flow. Did you have...

RE: Switched from Twingate to Tailscale - detailed cost/benefit analysis

RE: Has anyone tried to get a cap on price increases at renewal? What was their pushback?

RE: Troubleshooting: High CPU usage after enabling all the security modules.
