API to put Multiple resource in SDT getting Authentication failed
Experts, I am trying to write a script to put multiple resources in SDT via API. However, the script fails with the error: "Authentication failed", "status":1401. This indicates that the API is rejecting my request. The API credentials are correct, as I am successfully using them for other API calls. Has anyone encountered a similar issue? Your insights would be highly appreciated.
SQL Monitoring Troubles
Hey, I've just added 4 SQL Servers to our environment. 2 of them worked perfectly and are retrieving all the SQL data. However, 2 of them aren't learning that SQL is installed: one of them reports WMI access error but wbemtest from the LM collector with the LM collector account details succeeds on both. The other just doesn't seem to know SQL is installed, no errors are shown. The one with WMI error obviously isn't even retrieving Windows data like CPU and memory. The one with no WMI error is showing this data okay. I'm not sure where to check for problems in LM - any logs I can look at? ThanksModules for Zerto monitoring
Hi, here are some modules to monitor Zerto via their API. Appliances (ZVM/ZCM) and the Zerto Analytics portal are supported. I have made the .xml export of each module available on Github, they can be downloaded from here: https://github.com/chrisred/logicmonitor-zerto The modules are: ZertoAnalytics_Alerts.xml ZertoAnalytics_Datastores.xml ZertoAnalytics_Sites.xml ZertoAnalytics_Token.xml ZertoAnalytics_VPGs.xml ZertoAppliance_Alerts.xml ZertoAppliance_Datastores.xml ZertoAppliance_PeerSites.xml ZertoAppliance_Token.xml ZertoAppliance_VPGs.xml ZertoAppliance_VRAs.xml I'll try to keep an eye on this post for any questions.Modules for Citrix Cloud/DaaS/VAD monitoring
Hi, here are some modules to monitor Citrix DaaS/VAD via the Citrix Monitor API. These might be helpful with mixture of DaaS and on-prem VAD environments as the same modules can be used for both. Setup details are in the module notes, see the CitrixDaaS_Token notes for the Citrix Cloud API setup. I have made the .xml export of each module available on Github, they can be downloaded from here: https://github.com/chrisred/logicmonitor-citrixdaas The modules are: CitrixDaaS_ApplicationUsage.xml CitrixDaaS_ConnectionFailures.xml CitrixDaaS_DeliveryGroups.xml CitrixDaaS_LogonPerformace.xml CitrixDaaS_Machines.xml CitrixDaaS_Token.xml I'll try to keep an eye on this post for any questions.
Support for Veeam 11 PowerShell Module
Veeam 11 released with a PowerShell Module rather than a PS Snap-In. Is anyone working to update the Veeam LogicModules? https://www.veeam.com/veeam_backup_11_0_whats_new_wn.pdf Quote • PowerShell module — By popular demand, we switched from the PowerShell snap-in to the PowerShell module, which can be used on any machine with the backup console installed. We also no longer require PowerShell 2.0 installed on the backup server, which is something many customers had problems with. • New PowerShell cmdlet — V11 adds 184 new cmdlets for both newly added functionality and expanded coverage of the existing features with a particular focus on restore functionalityFortigate Managed Switches
We were having trouble monitoring Fortigate switches once they had been brought under Fortimanager control as they no longer can be queried directly with SNMP. The switches get onboarded to a 169.x.x.x management network and while it might be possible to make firewall rules etc and use the Fortinet_FortiSwitch datasources it wouldnt be fun or practical in all collector deployments. So we made an addition to fortigate Fortinet_FortiGate_ManagedSwitch Published with identifier MK3TRR Collects; 1. switch status (up/down) with an alert 2. Status of ports 1-52 and collates into a total switch port utilisation complex datapoint with graph. Hope this is helpful
Least Privilege not showing full list of Windows Services
Using LogicMonitor in full admin mode (ie we connect with a service account with admin rights on the target windows server) has presented no issues. All metrics work perfectly, we can monitor ALL windows services. We are now rolling out "Least Privilege" to 1000+ servers and followed the step by step documentation and used the PowerShell script to apply permissions. The WMI aspects of monitoring work ok. However when monitoring "windows services" we can only see a subset of services. It seems anything that is out of the box before we install applications or solutions like IIS, SQL, Oracle etc etc does not appearing the list. Its noticeably a smaller list. Has anyone seen this in their environment? We are told there have been no other reports. If we make the service account a local admin - all services appear perfectly. In the documentation here: Windows Server Monitoring and Principle of Least Privilege | LogicMonitor there are 5 steps to eventually running a command "sc sdset scmanager...". This command also does not work. What are your experiences? have you seen the same issue and how did you overcome?
