Description

Uncover the mysterious, startling, and sometimes deadly secrets inside STATREP.NSF. There are nearly 1,000 statistics in every document. Come to this session and find out how to expose this secret statistical gold mine. Discover how to build new views to track potential issues, and proactively prevent server outages. Find out how to tell if clusters are properly synchronizing and compare “transactions per hour” between servers to make server consolidation easier. Plus, get new STATREP views to export data to a spreadsheet as in incredibly easy analysis tool and to make beautiful usage charts that that are “Monthly Report Ready.” This session will change the way both new and experienced administrators look at Lotus Domino statistics — forever.

Continuation of SHOW102, by taking the information generated by the statistics reporter and turn it into something useful. Again, basically free tools.

Description

It all started here years ago at Lotusphere, and it’s a condensed, immersive and rowdy approach to hearing from some of the best and brightest and a wildly popular approach to learning about the tips, techniques (and sometimes crazy) ideas that they have been working on. Participants will migrate as a group around the room from one 5-minute demo station to the next, while stopwatches, buzzers and a loud-mouthed emcee keeps things fast-paced and on track!

Review

A great collection of 13 custom speakers presenting their topic in 5 minutes or less. Round robin style and small groups of listeners.
