Building Dynamic Groups using Powershell Batchscript DataSources
I'm looking for a way to use the "Description" field I'm collecting when building instances from a batchscripted datasource. current output I'm using in the active discovery writes WildAlias, WIldValue, Description: $($proc.processname)##$($svcmatch.displayname)##$toolname I want $toolname to drive instance grouping. I see mechanisms for using the other two, but altering those doesn't fit the use case I need for these. The Support Docs for instance grouping and for active discovery don't provide quite enough info to figure out what they're instructing without a bunch of experimentation (which is probably how I'll end up sorting this out if someone hasn't done this already). For instance (pun!), This refers to Dynamic groups ( dynamicGroup="^(.d.)" )... but does it only evaluate the GREP based on wildalias?

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.smahamulkar2 days agoNeophyte85Views1like8CommentsMonitoring for Mirth
Hello Community, We have a Mirth Appliance that we use for exchanging data with our partners. This is recently been added to our LogicMonitor instance but I'm only seeing what I would consider "basic" SNMP information. I can see data about the CPU, Disk, Memory usage. However, I don't see any "channel" information. This is something that's within Mirth and knowing if channels are clogging up, etc, would be handy to know. I don't know if this is something that can be reported on but according to this from PRTG https://kb.paessler.com/en/topic/80868-how-to-monitor-nextgen-mirth-connect-with-prtg It looks like it might be something that's reported through SNMP. I'm not an expert in SNMP/LogicMonitor so I'm coming to the community in hopes that one of you may already have something built that monitors Mirth Appliance channels. TIA!Kirby_Timm2 days agoNeophyte14Views0likes0CommentsAlert/Alerts API endpoint
Hello Everyone, I am trying to get the list of all alerts through the API. Endpoint I am using is https://companyname.logicmonitor.com/santaba/rest/alert/alerts?v=3 Through this API I am only able to get the Uncleared Alerts. Now, Issue is I want all alerts including the one that has been cleared for reporting purpose. I would really appreciate if anyone could help me with this? Thank you, MnaishSolved103Views0likes4CommentsSQL 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?

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 months agoNeophyte952Views23likes7CommentsModules 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 months agoNeophyte661Views23likes12CommentsSupport 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 functionality200Views0likes6CommentsFortigate 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 helpful444Views1like6CommentsMonitoring of Veeam is not reliable
Has anyone successfully monitored Veeam with LM? From what I am seeing out of the box, every single module is unreliable. The scripts run probably 50-60% of the time. Otherwise they just fail with the error: Veeam Powershell snap-in was loaded from an incorrect location. This results in numerous "No data " responses. Which leads to issues with alerts not clearing when they should, or not opening when they should. Which cascades into our ticketing system to cause further confusion. Powershell works fine locally on any of the servers in question, scripts that utilize Veeam's powershell module that I push from our management tool also work fine. It just seems to be LogicMonitor that has issues with reliability. In these instances, the collector is installed directly on the Veeam host. Veeam forums indicate this may be due to the snap-in installation being corrupted, however I have manually verified it is all correct on a handful of servers and the issue persists. Plus it works locally and on my pushed scripts from a different tool. We are monitoring 44 Veeam servers (all the latest version) and all of them seem to have this reliability issue. Making it hard to believe that the installation could be goofed on every single one of them. All LM supplied default scripts utilize: Add-PSSnapin -Name VeeamPSSnapIn -WarningAction SilentlyContinue -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue I tested by manually running the script from a debug window, but changing from Add-PSSnapin to using Import-Module and referencing the Veeam dll file, yet the intermittent "incorrect location" error persists. Another test, I removed all references to Add-PSSnapin and suprisingly, it still works about 50% of the time. By all findings, I only get this error when running collection scripts from LogicMonitor. Have yet to see it locally. Anybody ese noticing the same thing?Solvedtk_baha2 months agoNeophyte156Views0likes1Comment
