Find Vulnerable "IngressNightmare" Clusters w/ Resource Explorer
Hey LMers, You might have seen the news about the "IngressNightmare" vulnerability in Ingress NGINX Controller for Kubernetes that allows unauthenticated Remote Code Execution: https://www.wiz.io/blog/ingress-nginx-kubernetes-vulnerabilities You can easily find your affected clusters in LogicMonitor by leveraging a few filters on Resource Explorer. Checkout the screenshot here and then go use the filters to check your own environment! Stay safe out there.
Any way to query API for instance creation time?
We would like to create an integration with the Device_Component_Inventory datasource to track when components were first put into service. However, using the /device/devices/deviceId/devicedatasources/hdsId/instances API endpoint, I don't see any fields which store this timestamp. This does exist for the devices endpoint /device/devices under createdOn with values in seconds 1733250446. Is there any other endpoint to query to get this information? I can't find it in the web GUI either. Thanks!
Any way to find all dashboards that have broken widgets?
Hi, Because LM bases so many things on Text searches instead of group IDs, any time something get renamed, moved, reorganized, etc, everything breaks. Is there any easy way to find any dashboards that end up broken because they're referencing something that no longer exists? Same goes for Alert Rules that might be looking for a group that doesn't exist any more and no one knows there's a problem. Thanks.
Help with .. "is schedule down" notice.
Recently a user created an SDT on a resource to intentionally do some maintenance on it. LogicMonitor emailed us an alert that the resource: The host <hostname> (<ip address>) is scheduled down from 2025-03-18 14:08:00 MDT to 2025-03-18 16:00:00 MDT by <our user>. Can anyone point me to the purpose of this alert and the area of configuration in LogicMonitor where we might understand this more? Our support staff received this but really didn't have any action to take and we're not sure why we got it. Thanks!Is there a way to make an empty escalation chain?
I have some alerts that I dont want to send anywhere, but I also do not want to disable the alerting on instances in the UI or at the folder level either. I have a wide variety of scenarios where alert tuning adjustments and alert disables cant be done. The use cases don't matter. What I need is a way to have an escalation chain target that is "void" or "do nothing" or some dummy email address (outside our org, since the emails are coming from the LM cloud) that wont actually get the data. Help?
Escalation Chains for bank holidays vs standard weeks
Hi LogicMonitor community, We are fairly new to the product, just looking to see if anyone had any advice for handling Escalation Chains when it comes to Bank Holiday weekends. We currently have escalation chains created for our teams to handle automated call-outs for our critical devices/checks during standard weekends and outside of core hours. However with Bank Holiday weekends requiring the need to operate the same process on Friday/Monday's depending on the specific weekend, we'd need to ensure those additional days does are covered too. The obvious solution we've come up with is to create a Bank Holiday On-call escalation chain for each of the teams where we can be flexible and amend the days we'd want to be called out on, then swap out that escalation chain to any alert rules which required it. This would work, although considering we've got multiple teams configured with on-call escalation chains within LogicMonitor as well as many alert rules using them, this is a manual process we'd need to keep on top of before/after every bank holiday, which leaves some room for human error of course. Has anyone implemented something similar and have any advice they would be willing to share? I can't imagine we would be the first customers to come across this scenario. Thanks in advance!
Dashboard Filter Changes
Filter Pulldowns were replaced with the Resource Explorer style filters up top last night. I've reached out to our Account Manager to let them know we relied on that pulldown format as an MSP to produce Dashboards for our team that allowed them to select a client environment via pulldown. We're being driven back to the UIv3 Javascripted RestAPI workarounds unless that is rolled back. Not every user of this toolset is an LM engineer.Dynamic Dashboard Filters for Text Widget
My apologies if this has been covered already, but I have been search forum and haven't seen this topic. I am building a text widget that performs an API call to display data from another system. This is important as I am attempting to put all information for a facility to a single pane of glass. Is there a way, to pass the Filter value at the top of the dashboard to the text widget for me to use in my java script call?Option to remove Resource descriptions from Resource Tree
In the Resource Tree, vertical space is consumed if a resource has a description and it's visually noisy. I don't want to half the number of resources I can see, I now have to go through all my resources removing descriptions. Please make the resource description div optional and default it to OFF. Example (where it's not possible to even edit/remove the description): I really don't care that each Azure account is "Automatically generated". Why would LM force me to see that under each Azure account?
