Hello Nexus Community Members, Since our launch in April of last year customers and employees have jumped in to contribute to the community through posting content, helping other members and showing benefits, use cases and opportunities for the ScienceLogic product offerings. Several customer members have gone above and beyond with posting content, responding to others, sharing ideas and showcasing best practices. We wanted to take a minute to recognize these top contributors because their participation helps make Nexus a valuable resource and great community for everyone. Teppotahkapaa BIO Have worked with ScienceLogic products since 2017, starting from version 8.10. Our current setup contains multiple SL1 stacks connecting through PowerFlow with ServiceNow. The integration between SL1 and Snow is very important in our environment. “if it is not in ServiceNow, then monitoring is not working”. My current role is Architect for Monitoring, Discovery and Integration. Before EM7/SL1 journey I have worked with at least these monitoring products: HP OpenView, IBM NetView, Zabbix, Nagios, Argent, BMC Patrol, CA UIM, IBM Tivoli, etc. Selling, consulting, teaching and maintaining those products in either our own or in customer premises. Participation in the Nexus Community I want to participate in community to help others use their products better and to push ScienceLogic to go into direction that customers are needing, not just where marketing wants them to go. And community always works in two directions, more you give to community, more you get from it. We have got lots of good ideas and got also some real solutions for our issues from Nexus community. Yomi25 BIO I have over 10 years of experience in the IT industry, with extensive expertise in network automation and IT operations management. I have worked with ScienceLogic, a leading platform known for its comprehensive monitoring, automation, and analytics solutions. ScienceLogic integrates seamlessly with various IT environments, providing real-time insights and actionable intelligence to optimize performance and resolve issues swiftly. In addition to ScienceLogic, I have professional experience in network automation using RestorePoint. RestorePoint is a powerful tool for network configuration and change management, which helps automate backup and restore processes, ensuring network reliability and compliance. I have also developed and implemented automation scripts to streamline network operations, reduce manual intervention, and enhance overall efficiency. Participation in the Nexus Community I participate in the Nexus Community because it offers a vibrant space for professionals to share knowledge, collaborate on solutions, and stay updated with the latest industry trends. The community has provided immense value by connecting me with experts, offering insights into best practices, and fostering a collaborative environment where innovative ideas thrive. It’s also a fantastic platform for creating and sharing new ideas, which helps drive innovation and continuous improvement in the field. Additionally, I love to encourage and help others in the network automation area, sharing my knowledge and experience to support their growth and success. JamesCC BIO I am the “Service Owner” for ScienceLogic at Computacenter which means that I manage the support team for ScienceLogic which is used worldwide – from US to Europe to India. I have worked in system tooling for 25 years and have been impressed by the way that we can consolidate multiple different tools onto one platform. Participation in the Nexus Community The Nexus Community is great for providing “Real World” updates. We know how other people are actually using the product and have a place to go to find solutions to any issues we find. The community setup of Nexus means that we’re able to drive a dialogue with other SL users and not just be a passive recipient of information. Stay tuned for regular updates on Nexus Top Contributors. Feel free to @mention and call out other community members that you think are especially helpful.

Tags are keywords used to describe your content, topic or theme. Tagging your content helps you and the larger community through categorization and improving the member search experience along with overall SEO (search engine optimization). The assumption is that members will search on certain terms to find the right content to help them. Whether it’s a discussion, resource, blog post etc. using appropriate tags will display all content types with that tag included and provide a broader set of information for people looking to solve a problem or learn about something new. You can select preset tags and/or create freeform tags. Select a Preset Tag Preset Tags are created by the community team and are available based on area, product or content type. They tend to align with product or broader content categories and are beneficial as they are used to help measure activity levels and help group your content along with other similar posts. Most members prefer to select Preset Tags and then create their own when applicable to present more granular differentiation or if an important tag is not already available. Example Preset [Product Name] Preset [Functionality] FreeForm [Feature, Issue, unofficial term] Preset [SL1] Preset [Powerflow] FreeForm [Monitoring] Here’s How to Apply Tags Start a Discussion Enter title and body/text Under Tags: Select any boxes which you think apply to your content. Add a Tag: Enter your desired tag Please follow these best practices when creating new tags: Don’t misspell terms Use industry specific terms where possible AVOID acronyms unless they are an industry norm User singular when possible Add two or more terms with an underscore _ Avoid using general terms which would not add value to the search experience but limit results when not included such as: the, a, it, or etc. -you get the point here. Remember we service a global audience so tags in other languages or with special characters may not translate correctly. Let us know if you would like us to add any specific tags to the preset list.
