Yep, that would be good too. I think that is something a lot of IT pros don't think too much about until they need it. Would be nice to see a look at logging in general or maybe an ELK-in-an-hour session.
-
ELK in an Hour, I like that one. Unlike the monitoring session, I feel like there are only ELK and Splunk in the "run your own" logging category. And Splunk is crazy expensive. So focusing on ELK could work.
-
You ever heard of Graylog / Graylog 2? I just stumbled across those in the last few days, but don't have a working setup yet.

Right, you could easily get the info and basics for ELK done in an hour.

I guess my biggest question is who is going to present these? Us as a community or vendors or someone else?
-
Some community members and a few vendors as well. But the Vendor ones will also be deeper dives.
-
The vendors that will be speaking are ones you all know well and are starting to be more active here as well.

What about Containers? Examples, explanations, how tos? Docker, LXC, Rocket?

Would love to show off my home grown version of syslog-ng.

I'm a network engineer from Ronco Communications. We're one of the largest Aerohive partners in the world. I'm our senior Aerohive engineer...multiple 500+ enterprise AP deployments in several different states. I train our engineers and sales engineers on the product. Could do a presentation and talk about the product and interesting projects I've worked on. Can also give discussion on wireless fundamentals (Roaming, explain MCS data rate charts, etc).
Ronco is also very strong in Cisco UC, Avaya networking and VoIP, and Microsoft Lync/Skype for Business. Can ask around and see if any of our technical people want to be involved. It's too bad our Microsoft Lync Master moved to Philly. He probably would've come. He's 1 of 22 Microsoft Certified Solutions Masters in the world.
-
Oh hey, we [NTG] know Ronco. We've run into a lot of people from there over the years.

It's amazing how many of the top MS people are from Rochester. I've only ever heard of two MCSE+I, the terminal MS certification, ever. Both from Rochester.
