I have another position open at Cardinal Health. (Not to be confused with the one below that Leon posted, which is still open too!) This position however, allows full-time working from home. This position would focus on the support of our Solarwinds environment and a few other tools the team directly supports.
Key responsibilities of this role are:
1. Maintain an enterprise-class suite of monitoring, alerting, and event management tools including Solarwinds, IBM Netcool/OMNIbus, BMC’s EUEM, and MIR3
2. Maintaining/Creating/Documenting standards for monitoring, alerting and event management
3. Applies an understanding of event correlation to assist in logical alerts and root cause analysis efforts
4. Act as a 3rd level on-call escalation for offshore, as part of a rotation
5. Engage application and infrastructure teams to establish and improve monitoring baselines
6. Work with project teams to estimate labor and expenses for new projects requiring new or modified monitoring and alerting
7. Mentor offshore members of the technical staff and develop processes, architecture, and tools for improved system availability and operational efficiency
About Cardinal Health's Environment:
The environment comprises roughly 10,000 devices (roughly 5,000 network and 5,000 server) across 150 locations (although there are 2 major data centers.).
- Operating systems include Windows (all versions back to NT 4.0), Linux (Suse and RedHat), AIX, Tru-64, Solaris, iSeries, and VMWare, just to name a few.
- Devices include every model of Cisco device ever made, BigIP F5, Avaya, Aruba, Dell, Compaq, DEC, EMC,
- This environment generates approximately 12,000 tickets per month (some are manual, most are automated) which does not count de-duplicated events and those suppressed due to downstream root cause.
- We see about 8,000,000 syslog messages per hour and about 3,000,000 trap messages per hour (although over 90% are not actionable).
- Monitoring and Management tools include SolarWinds (NPM, SAM, NTA, VMan, Kiwi Syslog), NetMRI, netQoS, Wiley, Coradiant, Ganglia, Cacti, Zenoss, Splunk, Sensage, Tivoli Omnibus, and much much more.
