Lab Improvement Notes

Let’s use this thread for quick notes about labs that didn’t work as described or need to be updated (inconsistent screenshots, missing steps, etc)

    Not sure if this was noted, but the removal of “per Datapoint” from this slide:

    Super small thing I noticed that honestly doesn’t matter but I’m noting anyway just because…

    In the create WMI DataSource lab, we say to put “CPU Load Percent” as the displayname; however, the screenshot shows the name with underscores meaning the displayname for that DataSource is “CPU_Load_Percent”. 

    just sayin

    @Mike Aracic We should add more memory to the MariaDB server so it can actually handle running the failover collector

  • Should add some verbiage in the netscan lab about the active/scheduled/history tab

  • We have the students go through the one device expert mode in Resources and Groups, but don’t talk about it in the training

  • Suggestion: Flip “All Devices” and “All Servers” regarding the hierarchy of the group structure

    Also, specifying the group location for the dynamic group would give more context

    Install a Backup Collector lab activity: the MariaDB server is not hefty enough to host a backup collector. Need to do that activity on a more provisioned machine. 

    Windows Collector lab: let’s not change it to the internal IP - just leave it as the loopback IP.

    Resource group activity - the lab doesn’t specify what parent group to use for the dynamic group. We can use this as an example of how to drag and drop.
