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.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.
