Way too much Valheim...

For switch, the following is the configuration, I mean it is on SNMP.

Following is info that I can see for it:

Is it possible to pull info every port of switch, just like Spiceworks Networ Monitor used to do? If yes, what template I would need to use or any config? Most switches we have are Cisco SG300.

Yes, Cisco and general SNMP templates can be applied to the host and it will start to pull in information if you configured SNMP correctly.

I agree with @notverypunny. Zabbix is very easy to setup and use. It has a very small learning curve and has templates for almost everything you listed.

We use Zabbix. But it's not all that easy.

For all the basic stuff, hardware and OS monitoring, it is really easy. For some advanced things (and software) you write a lot of your own scripts to accommodate those. I've written quite a few small scripts to monitor some of our software applications.

I need a new solution as well and am going to go with Zabbix. What is the recommended OS these days for a Zabbix install? Are the guides on here still valid?

I run on CentOS but at this point I'd probably move it to Ubuntu.

I have a colleague that came to me and said so I know this company is using http://insided.com/ but that costs a forture. What do you suggest as an alternative for a community tool that can handle feature request voting and general product discussions. These two came to mind but I have never used them.

Thoughts on how they stack up to each other?

Discourse is far superior hands down, especially in a business setting.

Yeah, I'll agree here. NodeBB may be slightly faster but the functionality of Discource far outweighs that advantage.

I read sometimes by highlighting with my mouse as I'm reading.

Same.

He was impeached twice. He was not convicted and removed.

Anyone else seeing like everything online super slow today?

Yes.

Linux is number one in laptops

Where are you getting your statistics from?

That doesn't include servers and completely ignores Android. You're proving @scottalanmiller's point here. You have to specify a specific market that Windows is a leader in, specifically PC/Laptop. On the whole of the industry Android/Linux is the leader.

If you read what I quoted, i responded to a very specific piece of what he wrote...

Then I linked some stats to show that specific text of his I quoted was wrong, and then asked where he got his info, because I can't find anything to show otherwise of that specific thing I quoted.

Pay attention. Context matters. The quotes help with that.

Yep, you're right missed the quote.
