Cisco Stack Switchs
Hi Wanted to know if anyone has a solution to get component level information for the switches in a stack. Ideally I am trying to get serial numbers for the switches that actually make up the stack. All I seem to be able to get is the chassis switch and not any sub switches in the stack. - ThanksFile 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.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
Veeam SOBR Offload and Checkpoint removal monitoring
With recent updates to Veeam 12.2, checkpoint removal has been decoupled from the backup job and it now produces alerts within the veeam console when it fails. This is not detected in any current version of LogicMontiors Veeam modules. It also seems that the offload of backups when you have a SOBR configuration are not monitored by LogicMonitor's Veeam modules. We are finding this means we are blind to most of our customers offsite storage as we are not notified of offload failures or checkpoint removal. This means if an S3 bucket fills up in your capacity tier, but the performance tier is still working you will never get an alert in logicmonitor, as the backup job itself is successful, but the offloads and checkpoint removals will fail due to the bucket being at maximum capacity. The offsite copy will fall severely out of date as well since no new backups can offload or copy to capacity tier. We have had to fall back to email alerts to compensate for this. SOBR is the most common setup we see across our customer base these days, and I have a feeling it will only become more prevalent in the future.UIv4 Dashboards Page - Table Widgets and instance-level properties
In the new UIv4 dashboards page, we are now able to add properties to a Table Widget as columns. However we can currently only add device-level properties to Table Widgets. It would be really useful for a lot of use cases if we could add instance-level properties to a dashboard widget as well. For example if we had a table which showed interfaces, it would be useful to be able to show instance-level properties of the interface such as the interface description or interface vlan. Also being able to use the ##DSIDESCRIPTION## token within a table widget would be useful for the instance description, but we cannot do that either.Automate SDT for connected instances based on topology
When we set a location group or a device in SDT during maintenance, we often get alerts from devices connected to that location via BGP/OSPF/interface connections. I would like to request a feature where if we put a group or device in SDT, then any instances connected to those SDT'd devices via topology are also set in matching SDT. Even if the device the instance is a part of is not included in the original SDT. Other monitoring tools are able to do this out of the box, so I think it's an important feature for LM to prioritize.New F5 SSL cert OIDS
Hi All So as per F5 article K000139507: How-to list traffic certificate expirations using SNMP Published Date: May 4, 2024 https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K000139507 Can we get these integrated into the F5 certificate datsource. sysCertificateFileObjectExpirationString .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.15.1.2.1.4 example 'Dec 15 01:38:48 2033 GMT' or 'Mar 29 23:59:59 2031 GMT' sysCertificateFileObjectExpirationDate .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.15.1.2.1.5 Epoch in seconds '2018223528' or '1932595199' Reason for the update is the existing DS needs to connect to the 443 ports to extract the cert date , where some are internal and some external. The firewalls are all in the way, and being an MSP nobody tells us when they strap a new cert on a VIP anyway ! I tried to remove the port query part and go direct to the oid but cross mapping tables is beyond me. Andy
