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?

Alert/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, MnaishSolved103Views0likes4Comments
Monitoring 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
Least Privilege's script to set permissions on Services for Non Admin account.
With the new security push for us to use non admin accounts. If anyone would like I to have a script that can run on Domain and one for Workgroup Servers. That iterates though all services and applies correct SDDL for least privilege's account. Extract these to c:/temp, add your list of servers (or for the workgroup add the single server to the serverlist.txt) and then run the RunScript.ps1 You'll need a local admin account to run with for Workgroup Server You'll need a DA account to run for list of Domain Servers. PM me if you are interested ;)SolvedBarb4 months agoAdvisor201Views3likes5CommentsAzure Backup Job DS Discovery
We have a problem with the Azure Backup Job DS only doing discovery once every 7 days. Im interested to know if anyone else has seen this ? So looks like discovery ran on the 02/09 today is the 05/09 so we are missing the past couple days of jobs :(SolvedBarb7 months agoAdvisor88Views0likes6Comments
Programmatic Ping Alert
We currently lack the ability to white list domain names on our firewall, so I have to do everything via IP. Recently I’ve come across an issue where a company won’t give me their external IP’s because they can change, or so they say. For several weeks I’ve pinged the IP’s and it has always been 1 of 4 IPs. Has anyone created some kind of ping alert that does something like “ping easypost.com and api.easypost.com if the IP’s returned are not in 169.62.110.130-169.62.110.133, alert me” I’m not much of a programmer myself so I’d need something pretty “plug and play”. TIA!SolvedKirby_Timm2 years agoNeophyte135Views8likes4CommentsDoes 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, and then 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 monitor create 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 are still 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.Solved636Views12likes19Comments
