About half the audience says they are familiar with the topic

Why:

Why are we doing this? What benefits do we get?

FarmShare 1 consists of the corn, barley, and rye servers.  Those servers are old, and are running an older Ubuntu (Ubuntu 14) which is going to be losing support in a year or so.  So, we are going to be retiring the corn, barley, and rye servers on December 20.  Attempts to log in will present you with a message telling you about the retirement, and inviting you to log in to rice.stanford.edu.

Initial presenters and facilitators: Max Stoaks and Adam Moore, both Enterprise Architects from the GSB.

Max and Adam kicked it off with a presentation re their process outlining phases and requirements per phase

Elastic Search/ ELK@Scale: 1.5TB/Day

Todd Simpson, Satish Nair

ISO/Sicops department

Current use:

52 nodes, 100 machines for search

Upstream side:

-       Net4 data, duplicates

-       1.5tb of log data daily

-       how fast the pipeline can be

Constraints:

NetDB and DNS at Stanford
 
NetDB developed in late 1980s
In 90s became java-based web application
Don't ask to make it fancier!
It is open source, but relies on Oracle, so not used by many other organizations
Source for DNS, source for DHCP, allows university to keep track of stuff
Access within NetDB is defined by Group and Record Type
Administrator field doesn't not grant any access to modify a record It is used by other systems (such as SSL certification group). But in NetDB it's just data field.
