Arista Campus Switch Power Supply State
We recently discovered that Arista Campus switches are either just not populating the OID for Power Supply states, or are using a different one, so in my API first approach to monitoring I decided to utilize the Arista EOS API to grab the power supply data, below are the discovery and collection scripts along with some of the key field for a Data source. You will notice I am using the Model number to identify the Arista campus switches using an if not statement "if ( !(model.startsWith("CCS-")))" which will drop all the DC switches out of the script. As always appreciate any feedback and ways to improve on these things. Have a great day. Note: This is obviously shared on a best efforts basis, but we are using this across all of our campus switches and it works great (We found 3 on top of the one we knew had a failed PSU that had issues). Applies to: hasCategory("Arista") Description: This will check the state of the power supply and return the following. 1 = Ok 0 = Down This replaces the Arista SNMP PSU as this returns a null value for the campus switches.

Hi All, Didn't think this particularly warranted a support call, have I missed something, I have tried looking up submitting a datasource to review in LMExchange and I can't seem to do it. I have org admin rights so its not a permissions thing and did double check and there is a button publish that is ticked so does this mean all data sources I write will be auto published or just they can be published. Thanks in advance
HP Aruba 6000 switch Support?
Good Afternoon, It seems that the newest switch chassis from Aruba/HP Isn't playing too nicely with LM at the moment. The same DataSources that were useful for the previous HP Switches don't appear to work for the newer 6000 series devices (we have a 6000 and a few 6500s) specifically, the Memory snmp query seems to poll no data - luckily the default CPU for SNMP does work. Has anyone run into this themselves?Linux Collector setup
HI fellow monitor champs I have a question regarding installing linux collectors. Our engineers are complaining that they cant detect the collector when installing and adding it to the portal. So the collector is visible in collectors but if we add the machine it does not work. Adding Collector - LogicMonitor Do we need additional steps? And if yes which exact ones? Thanks in advance!
Can't install collectors on Windows core DC's
As it says on the tin. Error installing watchdog service. On separate customers core DC's, different networks, different proxies, same error. Failed to install watchdog. Browser access to LM works and we're installing as system. Proxies do not require auth and we're installing with domain admin rights. We've had/have support tickets opened but we haven't been able to resolve this. Anybody got any ideas.Custom Threshold export
Im trying to automate the export of all custom ("INSTANCE") alert thresholds from a specific LogicMonitor device group (org.org.devices) using PowerShell and the LogicMonitor REST API. I want to get a total count and optionally a breakdown per device. I have the following script which: Authenticates using the LMv1 HMAC scheme Finds the device group by its full path Recursively retrieves all subgroups and devices Fetches datasources and instances for each device Counts thresholds where thresholdSource == 'INSTANCE' Runs in parallel across devices for performance param ( [string]$AccessId, [string]$AccessKey, [string]$Company, [string]$GroupPath, [int] $MaxThreads = 10 ) function Invoke-LmApi { param( [string]$Method, [string]$ResourcePath, [string]$QueryParams = '', [string]$Body = '' ) $epoch = [math]::Round((Get-Date).ToUniversalTime() - [datetime]'1970-01-01').TotalMilliseconds $toSign = "$Method$epoch$Body$ResourcePath" $hmac = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.HMACSHA256 $hmac.Key = [Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($AccessKey) $hash = $hmac.ComputeHash([Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($toSign)) $signature = [Convert]::ToBase64String($hash) $auth = "LMv1 ${AccessId}:${signature}:${epoch}" $url = "https://$Company.logicmonitor.com/santaba/rest$ResourcePath$QueryParams" return Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method $Method -Headers @{ Authorization = $auth } } function Get-GroupIdByPath { param([string]$Path) $resp = Invoke-LmApi -Method GET -ResourcePath '/device/groups' -QueryParams "?filter=fullPath:$Path&size=1" if (-not $resp.data.items) { throw "Group '$Path' not found" } return $resp.data.items[0].id } function Count-CustomThresholds { param([string]$RootPath) $rootId = Get-GroupIdByPath -Path $RootPath $groupIds = @($rootId) # TODO: collect subgroups, devices and count thresholds in parallel } Count-CustomThresholds -RootPath "$Company/$GroupPath" However, I'm having trouble getting the script to reliably find my target group and export the counts. It either reports "Group not found" or hangs/slowly processes. Here is the current PowerShell script: What I've tried so far: Switching between filtering on name: vs fullPath: Adjusting group path prefixes (with/without company) Serial vs parallel loops Verifying the group exists via manual API calls Questions: What is the recommended way to filter by device group path (fullPath) using LogicMonitor's API? Are there any pitfalls in the LMv1 authentication or parallel Invoke-RestMethod calls I should avoid? How can I streamline this script to reliably export a summary of custom thresholds with minimal API calls? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!Ubiquiti Unifi 'Source Errors
We're having some difficulties getting the Unifi 'Sources to properly complete their Active Discovery Scripts, leading to building thread counts in the collector, leading to collector service restarts... (ScriptADTasks - 7 days - Red = Failures): I've been chasing the issues (some is the 'Source's appliesTo not properly targeting devices based on the gathered SNMP initial discovery properties) and have not quite found the smoking gun as the error I'm being given doesn't directly point to the issue. Running AD Test from the DS "Ubiquiti_UniFi_Security_Gateways" against a UXG Pro device gives me this error: "Text must not be null or empty" It doesn't identify which text is needed. The line numbers mentioned don't seem to relate directly to the DS AD code's line numbers.
