Happy New Year 2021! – App_Offline

Greetings 2021! I’m in the middle of a software deployment right now. Hoping adoption goes well and that everyone enjoys using the application.

Some basic tool I learned a moment ago: Use the app_offline.htm file in your ASP.net 2.0 (minimum) to quickly notify your users that the page – or your app is down for maintenance.

Enable SNMP on a Raspberry Pi

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install snmpd -y
sudo apt-get install snmp -y
sudo nano /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
To get it running, you will need to modify the sudo nano /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file:

First, I commented out this line:

#agentAddress udp:127.0.0.1:161

and below the line β€˜#agentAddress udp:161,udp6:[::1]:161β€² I added:

agentAddress udp:161

then below this line:

rocommunity public localhost

I added:

rocommunity public 190.0.10.0/24

Finally, restart the service:

service snmpd restart

Check-MK Debian Linux Agent Install

First you’ll need to install xinetd which is a requirement for the Check_MK agent:

apt-get install xinetd


Then, latest Check_MK agent installer from your Check_MK website and install:

cd /tmp/
wget http://%yourcheck_mk_server%/download/check-mk-agent_***.deb
dpkg -i check*

How to Enable SNMP ESXi 6.5

Open your favorite (Putty) ssh application and connect to your ESX host and then run the following commands:

esxcli system snmp set –communities public
esxcli system snmp set –enable true
esxcli network firewall ruleset set –ruleset-id snmp –allowed-all true
esxcli network firewall ruleset set –ruleset-id snmp –enabled true
/etc/init.d/snmpd restart

The –ruleset should be a dash dash not a bar, same with the –allowed and –enabled; I don’t know why WordPress does that.

Schannel Fatal Alert 40… 70

This has to do with FIPS Compliant Algorithms group policy, but the policy was disabled. Microsoft’s documentation states that the GPO controls the reg key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\FipsAlgorithmPolicy]. This key was disabled (set to 1), I created a GPO at my workstation level and caused an update/replace entry [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa] and set fipsalgorithmpolicy to 0. On the next reboot the machine should no longer cause the Schannel errors.
