Hello,
How do I start a new discussion on this forum? I have question but can’t in the world find a [Start Discussion] button anywhere…
@MrSmart After you sign in, you should see a big green button in the top right corner that says “New Post”. Click on the button and choose “New Discussion”.
Well now it’s there, I swear it wasn’t there until just now. ?

Do I have to post some comments first in order to unlock it or wait certain amount of time ?
@ PFSolace I think the permission is set manually, but that’s just a guess

Hi all,
I’m James Taylor from Auckland New Zealand, I’m not big on social media but I have a Linkedin account.
I work for Spark which is the biggest Telco in NZ.
I’m currently implementing Solace for our customers here in NZ. I have a few Solace certifications - EDA, and Solace Consultant.
In my spare time I like to run, ski, play golf and spend time with my friends and family. Sounds all very active but in reality I don’t do those things as much as I would like to due to life getting in the way

Hah! If only there was more time in the day. I would also love to golf, ski, and do more of those types of things!
@jdttaylor welcome to the community! A fellow Canadian here and I share the ski part of your activities! (only that ?)

I saw that multiple of my client are using Solace (with different use cases) so that’s why I’m here and I did a very small contribution in Solace Kafka connector build to let it been installable via confluent client
I’m preparing a new Plateform for Monitoring and Tracing and certainly I’ll need your expertise when I’ll ask some questions ?

Everything is funny when managing lot of data with clients (not true ? ?)
Welcome to the Solace Community @ahmed_2me ! We sure have alot of content here on tracing, so feel free to explore around the community and check our docs and videos on youtube for distributed tracing

I’m keen on exploring and testing Solace extensively as I’d like to effectively incorporate it into our operations.
While I haven’t conducted a detailed and thorough examination yet, Solace appears to be a very interesting and excellent product.
I’m looking forward to gaining valuable insights and experiences by exchanging information with the friends here.
