Dell PowerProtect Data Manager
Hello, We are in the process of deploying Dell PowerProtect Data Manager (PPDM) to our company. This is Dell's data protection platform that is replacing Dell Avamar. We'd like an out-of-the-box monitoring module that is REST based that will allow us to monitor the statuses of backup jobs and such. LM already has an out of the box solution for Avamar monitoring, so I would assume it would be of interest to have modules built out for PPDM as well. The below URL has information about how to leverage REST APIs to query PPDM metrics. https://developer.dell.com/apis/4378/versions/19.18.0/docs/introduction.md Thanks, Tom
UIV4 "Show widget time" option: Last Data Refresh time?
Hi, Recently we had a request from our Service Desk who asked whether we could show on the dashboard the last time dashboard widget data was refreshed. I thought I was on to a winner when I found the "Show widget time" option, but unfortunately this only shows the last time the widget in question was created/had it's last configuration update :(. I've had a think and I can't think of a good use case for displaying the last configuration update, a "Last data refresh" option would be far more useful for those using LM on a daily basis. I know you can click into a widget and view it's refresh frequency, but this doesn't help our teams who use display only accounts within our office space. Could Last data refresh replace the last widget config update date/time or could we at least have the option to add this to our dashboards in future? Thanks!File Size and Folder Monitor.
Hi All. I believe LM is missing an officially supported WinTel File and Directory management DS. It should include the following File Count Monitor to count the number of files in a folder File Size Monitor , aggregate of all files. Last modified File Exists An example that would use all the functions would be something like Clearswift/MimeSweeper. An Internet facing Email gateway appliance. You would have incoming and outgoing folders as well as Quarantine and Delayed. The Folders selected need to be added via a 'monitored instance' leaving the original DS untouched.
Exclusion of Alerts triggered during the SDT in Alerts report
It would be really helpful if this functionality were available in the out-of-the-box (OOB) template. Currently, the OOB template includes active SDT alerts but doesn’t account for completed ones. When running the report, it pulls all alerts triggered in the console, the SDT filter if set to "Yes," it only shows alerts currently in SDT and it exceeds the timeframe we kept for the generating a report, and none are active, it returns zero results. Is there an option to generate a custom report that excludes alerts triggered during the SDT time frame using any API.Dell i
It sounds like Dell OMSA is depreciating so the out of the box LogicMonitor Dell HW modules that leverage OMSA will eventually no longer work. If we will have to monitor Dell HW via the iDRAC (which will consume an extra device license), we would like Dell iDRAC/IPMI monitoring expanded to leverage iDRAC Service Module (iSM) monitoring capabilities. This way we can avoid the need to use a device license to monitor the OS and just use iDRAC/iSM monitoring to get server metrics that way. Below is the doc: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000178050/support-for-dell-emc-idrac-service-module It looks WMI, SNMP, REST queries are possible monitoring via the iSM.
Topology Map Icons
We would like to be able to change the device icons on the topology map so we can be able to recognize what devices belong to each specific group. Currently, it is difficult to distinguish the devices from one another when there are hundreds of them on the same map. Having custom icons available for each grouping would benefit the use of the map and allow the user to have an organized view of everything as a whole, as well as knowing what devices to locate without having to hover over to check what group each device pertains to.
Provide LogicMonitor explicit URLs for whitelisting to enable outbound connectivity
LogicMonitor currently provides only 2 options for outbound connectivity to LogicMonitor SaaS Platform 1.whitelist complete LogicMonitor domain 2.whitelist a list of public subnets In customer environments, where whitelisting complete domain and list of subnets is forbidden, providing the explicit URLs is an important option. Please consider this as a feature request and provide explicit LogicMonitor URLs as well in upcoming release.
