Which property source sets system.collector?
I realized I have several windows collectors that have system.collector set to false for some reason, and I cant figure out why. Because they are definitely collectors. I hate to ask such a basic question but does anyone know which PropertySource sets that? I looked through the Device_BasicInfo code, and I didnt see it. Maybe I missed it. Maybe its upstream from Device_BasicInfo, because I do see Device_BasicInfo referring to some other system properties as part of its logic, from the host properties. I need to figure out why I have a bunch of collectors, in my collector section, that monitor themselves, have valid links to themselves in the resource tree, but on the resource tree, system.collector is false. But on some it is true. Thanks!SolvedLewis_Beard5 days agoExpert21Views0likes3CommentsLM datasources backing up
I attempted to post this with Chrome and it did not render at all :/ hence the undefined but here's a tip (No idea how long it will work for LM DataSources -> Github. (We use GitHub actions on a cron schedule with the below) Create a local readonly user with a password You need to know the current portal version here on it replace $PORTAL with your portal name DBV=$(curl -s https://$PORTAL.logicmonitor.com/santaba/|grep -oP '(?<=sbui)\d+'|head -n 1) Now with the user you created before fetch the whole lot! curl -o lm-backups.xml "https://$PORTAL.logicmonitor.com/santaba/api/downloadConfig?version=$DBV&username=$USERNAME&password=$PASSWORD=$PORTAL"Michael_Baker5 days agoNeophyte12Views0likes0Comments- Michael_Baker5 days agoNeophyte12Views0likes0Comments
Auto Balanced Collector Group vs Failover?
Hi, I'm wondering if there are pros and cons vs setting up multiple collectors as an ABCG vs stand-alone collectors with failover. If we have two collectors in the same location, monitoring the same servers, I'd use an ABCG. However... Let's say I have servers in Los Angeles and New York, and I have one collector in each location. If I set them up as an ABCG, would LM be smart enough to have the LA machines be monitored by the LA Collector and NY by NY, or does it just assign them randomly? I'm not sure if it has each collector ping each device to see which one has a better connection or anything like that. I currently have the LA collector manually assigned to the LA machines. I then have the LA Collector fail over to the NY Collector in the event of a problem. Each location CAN see the other, but I don't want LM monitoring things across the connection when each location has it's own collector on-site.

I'm exploring monitoring the top 10 processes by resource usage on Linux and Windows systems. I'm aware there are modules available to monitor specific processes - but was curious as to whether anyone has had the same requirement and created a module. My thinking is to create instances for each process of the top 10 - but right now I am still busy brainstorming...Stephen_C5 days agoNeophyte104Views5likes4CommentsLM Logs Alert Tokens
We are looking at expanding into LM Logs and I am wondering are there any other hidden alert tokens? We are looking at what structure of the message we can send, and there feels to be a lack of items for LM Logs. Is there a way to pull out some of the log fields as part of the message? The closest we found so far is ##logMetaData## which gives us a json string of our custom fields. For future parties here is a little more detail. ##alerttype## logAlert ##datapoint## Log Pipeline Alert Condition Name ##datasource## LM Logs ##dsdescription## Raw Log Value ##dsidescription## Raw Log Value ##instance## Log Pipeline Name ##threshold## Log Pipeline Alerting Condition ##logMetaData## Log metadata fields included in alert from Pipeline Alert ConditionsJoe_Williams6 days agoProfessor18Views0likes0CommentsDocumentation page Disclaimer
I've noticed several of these recently while digging for information on multiple topics. None of them offer any further context about why, when the info on this page stops being valid (calendar date, collector version?), or where to go for update/replacement info. Anybody have any insight? 🤔55Views2likes3CommentsWhat is the correct way to exclude VMWare folders from the new script netscan?
I am trying to use the netscan to discover VM/ESXi hosts within my vCenter applicances. I want to exclude a few specific folders when viewing from "VM and Templates" view. It looks like it supports excluding folders based on the doc, VMware vSphere Monitoring | LogicMonitor I have added this filter attribute 'vcenter.folder' and in the scan it looks like this. This doesnt seem to work though. Ive tried both 'contain' and 'notcontain' and neither are excluding these folders. Any ideas?kpkpkpkpkpkpkp7 days agoNeophyte29Views0likes1CommentLogicMonitor Datamart (Free / Open Source)
We have created a free (as in beer), open source LogicMonitor Datamart. It creates a Postgres or SQL Server LogicMonitor Datamart for all common LogicMonitor data types, meaning you can now just use SQL to query all your LogicMonitor data. There are certain limitations around time series data. If you are a .NET developer, check out the nuget here: LogicMonitor.Datamart and the source code on Github . We use this as the basis of our flagship Reporting system for our larger MSP customers. The codebase is mature, and up-to-date to LogicMonitor v211. We don't have a simple deployment wrapper yet, but we want to get community feedback, so we mature the deployment process, some (free) assistance will be provided to set this up for the first five takers. DM me if you are interested. First come first served. If you are not ready to deploy, but generally interested in the concept, please provide feature requests or ask questions in reply to this post.David_Bond7 days agoProfessor99Views10likes4Comments
