Citrix Cloud Monitoring
Installation 1. Install the package from LM Exchange "Citrix Cloud" 2. Install Cloud Connector property source: LocatorJYW9D7 Configuration This datasource requires several properties to be set: CITRIX.CLOUD.CUSTOMER - This is found in the Citrix Cloud Portal:Identity and Access Management > API Access > Secure Clients. Copy the bolded customer ID on the page. CITRIX.CLOUD.ID - Create a secure client, you can name it "LogicMonitor". The ID here will be used for this property. CITRIX.CLOUD.PASS - This is the secret when you created the secure client. CITRIXCLOUD.OAUTH.KEY - This will be autogenerated and populated by LogicMonitor using the above credentials. There is aCitrix CloudOAuth datasource that will generate a bearer token and save it as a property on the device. LM.API.ID -Create an API token in LogicMonitor with administrator privileges, copy the Access ID. LM.API.KEY - This is the API token access key that was created above. LM.API.ACCOUNT - This is your LogicMonitor account name, you can probably copy the subdomain of your LM portal. https://yourco.logicmonitor.com 1. Set the properties above (except CITRIXCLOUD.OAUTH.KEY)wherever you'd like depending on your folder structure. I like to set the LM API propertiesat the root and the Citrix Cloud properties per client (folder). 2. Find your cloud connector device in LM and add the category "PrimaryCC". Make sure you have the Cloud Connector property source installed as well! 3. The OAuth datasource should run, generating a token that the other datasources will use to query Citrix Cloud's API. You can also do a manual "poll now" to speed up the process. You should now see theCITRIXCLOUD.OAUTH.KEY property on the device. If you have any issues, feel free to private message me!1.4KViews38likes46CommentsModules 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.chrisred2 years agoNeophyte817Views23likes6CommentsModules 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.chrisred2 years agoNeophyte554Views22likes10CommentsDoes anyone have any experience with monitoring Windows Processes?
I’ve checked the community for datasources and I don’t see anything to what I’m specifically looking for. Our organization currently utilizes the Microsoft_Windows_Services datasource (modified a little bit for our specific needs) to monitor services. I’m looking for something similar to monitor windows processes. Similar to the Microsoft_Windows_Services datasource, what I am hoping to accomplish is provide a list of keywords that will either match or be contained in the process name that I want to monitor, provide a list of machines that I want to monitor those processes on, andthen get alerted on if those processes stop running. Some issues I am running into so far are: Win32_Process always returns a value of NULL for status and state. So I cannot monitor for those two class level properties. Powershell’s Get-Process does not return status or state, rather it just looks for processes that are actively running, so I would need to get creative in having LogicMonitor create the instance and what value to monitor in the instance. Some of the processes I want to monitorcreate multiple processes with the same name, and LogicMonitor then groups them all together into one instance, which makes monitoring diffucult. Some of the process I want to monitor are processes that only run if an application is manually launched, which means that again I will need to get creative in how I set up monitoring because I don’t want to get alerts when a process that I know shouldn’t be running is not running. Because the processes I am trying to monitor are not going to be common for everyone everywhere, something that other people could do to try to replicate my scenario would be: Open Chrome. When Chrome is launched, you will get a processed called “Chrome”. Now, open several other tabs of Chrome, you will just get more processes named “Chrome”. Now, keeping in mind the points I made earlier, set up monitoring to let you know when the 3rd tab in Chrome has been closed, even though the rest of the Chrome tabs arestill open. How would you break that down? My first thought would be to monitor the PIDs, however, when you reboot your machine, your PIDs will likely change. Also, I don’t want to have the datasource wild value search by PID, because that would get confusing really fast once you have 2 or 3 different PIDs that you want to monitor. All suggestions are welcome, and any help is greatly appreciated. Bonus points if you can get this to work with the discovery method as Script and you use an embedded Groovy or Powershell script.Solved458Views12likes19CommentsMulti Step website test with variable
We have a website test on a site that uses session based tokens, whcih are passed by the authentication process. I can curl the website and get a token, and then paste the token as a bearer token in another curl, but can’t figure out:- how to do this with a website test or how to build a new datasource to do this. The token expires after 15 minutes, so setting up as a persistant value in the headers for the webtest doesnt work. Can anyone help?Solved299Views12likes13CommentsSolidFire DataSources

Update: I jumped the gun…they aren’t out of security review yet…will update once they are... I have shared a datasource and propertysource I’ve created for monitoring the health of Cisco Umbrella Virtual Appliances in my environment. Thought they could help out other that might be using them as well.134Views11likes4Comments
