It is possible to generate a Availability Report order by Time Ok?
I'm trying to make in the nagios and centreon without any result.
Can someone tell me if it is possible and how to make it?
Thanks
I think what you are asking for is commonly called an SLA Report -- IE, a listing of services/hosts showing the amount of time in an OK (or scheduled downtime) state.
If you use the Thruk frontend for Nagios (required the livestatus plugin to be installed) then this has such a report built in.

I recently got into a project where I need to support for two mobile applications build using asp.net.
Can anybody share the jobs need to do in maintaining those projects ?
Thanks.

I think you may consider the following points while you are doing maintenance projects :
1) You should talk to your manager and make them understand that you are overloaded and you can't do effective work if everyone keeps bombarding you with requests which they want fulfilled immediately.
2) You should keep tracking on what you have done and how.
3) Keep backups regular basis of all the tasks you have completed.
4) Keep updating your manager on what task you are working and what you have understand and how you want to work/achieve this.
5) Ideally, all incoming requests should be entered into an issue tracker like JIRA or Mantis. Or at least mailed to the product owner, not you. And he/she should deal with all the complaints from the users too over "why is my request not ready yet?!", allowing you to focus on the development work.
Hope it helps you. :)
I recently encountered a logical error in one of our systems and our management wants a report on this. What do we call this kind of report? Also I would like to know if there is any resource available on-line that can help me write this report.
I have already prepared change management, got it approved and made the necessary correction to the application.
i believe, this should be incident management report as well. This error happened unexpectedly and affected the daily operation of the business.

Does anybody know of an easy way to serialise Umbraco settings (Document Types, Media Types etc) to the file system in order to manage that data within source control?
Note: changes to settings made on the file system need to be easily integrated back into the CMS database.
Also, does anybody know of a way to package up settings from a development environment for rolling out to staging and live environments?
Looking back through my unanswered questions, providing updates where possible.
For reference, you can use uSync to serialise content from Umbraco:
https://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/usync
There is no method currently other than rolling your own package to do it but it should be relatively straight forward using the API. Check out the "Backing up Document Types" article as a starting point .
Your second point about deployment was something discussed in an open session at the Umbraco Codegarden this year and no conclusion was made that was a one answer fits all.
I have very little PeopleSoft experience but have been put in a position to support an install. This question could straddles serverfault but is certainly developer oriented.
On a daily basis, we have a PeopleSoft "developer" who writes scripts to fix records/journal entries/approval status etc. To me this screams "bad install" and botched customizations. Is this normal? Is it best practice to have an employee having to write scripts daily just to keep things running?
Note: there is no fraud happening here, he has the full approval of the accounting department when doing this.
It is unlikely that it is the installation. Likely causes:
Bad customization
Missing patches
Bugs in the delivered code
If you only have one admin, though, and you have only one developer, I would be shocked to hear that there is much in the way of custom code.
Back to the question: It is not normal to need to do SQL updates regularly to fix data. Yes, it happens, but not too often. It is also possible that the end users could fix it from the application, but do not for some reason.
Ad-hoc SQL updates can be dangerous and the SQL may change on every request. It is difficult to fully test ad-hoc scripts due to the turnaround they typically require.
I assume these "fixes" are in fact making changes not implemented by the system.
It would be more sensible to either:
Build a custom page to "fix" the entries (or less sensible: modify the delivered pages).
Build and thoroughly test a paramater-driven App Engine to perform the most commonly made changes. It could potentially be run as part of the batch stream.
Watch out on your next upgrade: application tables have had a lot of changes in recent releases.
While the economy has been in the shitter, I've written possibly the most coolest site EVER for unemployed developers looking to buzzword-ify their resumes. (Don't hate the player, hate the game.)
The only problem is, it needs a scheduled task to run once a day to do some data mining. I spent many, many hours a few months ago researching solutions, but nothing seemed sure-fire.
If I have shared hosting and cannot remote in (e.g. mstsc and create a Schedule Task), how can I create a task that will run once a day on the backend of an ASP.NET website?
After all the research I did, I don't think it's possible. Per my last analysis, someone has to visit the site at least once a day to instantiate an instance of HttpApplication.
Does anyone have any solution to making sure an operation runs automatically, no matter whether anyone visits the site, and without anything but FTP access to the website?
Like I said, I've done A LOT of looking into this in the past, and it didn't seem possible. IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE implementing a solution, please, contribute your advice! But not postulating or conjecturing needed--it's far more nuanced and difficult than you're surely imagining.
I had a similar problem. I wrote a cheap utility that issued a web request from my desktop to my web app on a regular schedule.
How To: Send Data Using the WebRequest Class
You could have a look at Quartz.NET for scheduling jobs.
DotNetNuke which is a popular open source .net content management system does this. You can download the source and see exactly how they did it.
I agree with HackedByChinese, but if you don't want to run it from your desktop, you could get something like http://aremysitesup.com/ to ping your site for you.
Can you schedule a task in SQL Server that could call a CLR function? Your hosting provider may not allow either ot both of those, but if they do, then you are golden.
You can use ATrigger scheduling service. A .Net library is also available to create scheduled tasks without overhead.
You can set to call your datamining URL every 1day.
