*About vBrownBag Podcasts*

The vBrownBag crew host podcasts where community members present on topics that will help others in the community. Some podcast series are aimed at helping people achieve certifications.
Other podcasts help community members learn an entirely new subject area. We also cover areas like storage or automation. The podcast has been running weekly since 2010.

*vBrownBag TechTalks*

The vBrownBag crew love IT conferences, the only place where we actually see each other, the awesome people who are our presenters and the community members who follow the podcast. The conferences are also a great place to generate some more community learning content.

Got a couple questions in regard to this...
1 ) the "-c" flag used in this demo, is the ECHO response counter in Mac OS right? Is the counter for this in Windows the "-n" flag?
2 ) I've tried to use the code without the Slack integration, and even IP's that don't have a Response seem to be showing as LIVE.... any ideas?

3 ) Made any more DevOps related videos to watch/laugh along to?

Is there any other area which a desktop admin can automate? I am just looking for some ideas to develop.

Hi! First of all, thank you for this video!

I'm just very confused with the formatting of this line:

data = '{\"text\":\"'+ payload +'\"}'

Can anyone point me to a resource that explains this type of formatting?
Thanks in advance!

All the giggling is very distracting. Was interested in the beginning, but didn't even watch the ending. The speaker is obviously a trained coder but just because you can "do" mean you can or should teach. SMH
