6:30pm - 7:30pm: Making Your Emergency Toolkit (Rich Benner)

You’ve just been given a server that is having problems and you need to diagnose it quickly. This session will take you through designing your own toolkit to help you quickly diagnose a wide array of problems.

We will walk through scripts that will help you pinpoint various issues quickly and efficiently.

This session will take you through;

What’s on fire? – These scripts will help you diagnose what’s happening right now

Specs – What hardware are you dealing with here (you’ll need to know this to make the appropriate decisions)?

Settings – are the most important settings correct for your workload?

Bottlenecks – We’ll see if there are any areas of the system that are throttling us.

By the end of this session, you should have the knowledge of what you need to do in order to start on your own kit. This kit is designed to be your lifeline to fix servers quickly and get them working. All code we’ll go through is either provided as part of this presentation or are open source/community tools.

7:30pm - 8:00pm Break & Pizza

8:00pm – 9:00pm Chatbots for the DBA (Stuart Moore)

Want a single place to see all your database alerts? Want to be able to respond to able to respond to them in the same tool even when away from your main computer? Want to let people self serve their database needs?

We’ll be looking at using simple chatbots within Slack and Teams to let you achieve all of that and more.
