How do you monitor Running Services on Linux boxes?
Hi, There seems to be a few different options for monitoring services on Linux machines. We had been using one that uses SNMP, but it's been giving us trouble with some machines showing No Data every so often. We've also had the check start ignoring services when they stop and then removing the instance. We recently started trying an SSH based check which seems to work. However, it's based on setting a property on every machine/group to tell it which services to monitor. I'm just curious what module other people use to monitor services like this with the most reliable results. Thanks.Kelemvor4 hours agoExpert

Can anyone help modify this Datasource to be able to use any port?
Hi, We have F5 devices and LM can monitor some of the stuff inside them. However, we found a problem because the Module that monitors the SSL certs only monitors them if the site using it is on port 443. If it is using any other port, LM ignores it and doesn't monitor it. We have a lot of internal sites that us ports other than 443 and had a cert expire last week. It broke some stuff because we never got notified that an expiration was coming up. The module in question is called: F5_BigIP_SSL_VIP_Cert. (not sure how to post a link to it. The Discovery script has a line that says: if(port == "443"). This causes it to not see any of our sites that use ports other than 443. If I change it to say:port != "999" it will find all our sites that use something other than 443 which is great. However, the Collection script is also hard-coded to 443 as: This 'port' variable is used in a bunch of places in the rest of the script so it's not as easy to modify. I'd have to get a list of every site and which ports they use and code something up which would be impossible to maintain as things change. I'm wondering if there'd be a way for the Discovery script to grab the name AND port from the things it finds and then pass that info to the Collection script so each cert would include the port it's on and everything would just work. Unfortunately, that's over my head, and I don't know if that'd be really easy, or really hard to do, so I figured I'd ask here. If any of that doesn't make sense, let me know and I'll try to clarify it. Thanks!!Kelemvor13 hours agoCan Logic Monitor Pull Routing tables
We are still new to getting all the features to work in Logic Monitor. The question came up from our Networking team to assist with pulling Routing tables from the Network Devices. Is that possilbe? How do we go about collecting that? is there a logic module that can assist?Henry_Steinhaue15 hours agoNeophyte
Non-Admin Collector install
After trying to navigate through all the ramifications of Collector Least Privilege, I considered the option of simply getting new VM servers and installing new collectors with a "least privilege" user account. I'm fortunate enough that we have sufficient compute and storage resources that my request for new VMs can be delivered, and then I can remove the old collectors from service and our server virtualization team can delete them (returning those compute and storage resources to the available pool; net impact is 0). This seems like it will be less overall headache and effort than running the LM-supplied scripts. So I'm just going to throw this screen shot out there, for public consumption, of the install ---being done with the intent of moving to "Least Privilege"---recommending Domain Admin/Local Admin. Sure, maybe this is just an artifact in the installer presentation?Michael_Dieter18 hours agoConfigSource for Linux Files.
I'm having trouble figuring this out. How would I create a ConfigSource to cat the output of an ubuntu file and store that into ConfigSource? I've been able to get the output if I specify just cat the command and expect the last line in the config buttheir examples don't work when the my shell prompt is "user@hostname~$". https://www.logicmonitor.com/support/logicmodules/articles/creating-a-configsource#general https://www.logicmonitor.com/support/terminology-syntax/scripting-support/groovy-or-expect-text-based-interaction# import com.santaba.agent.groovyapi.expect.Expect; host = hostProps.get("system.hostname") user = hostProps.get("test.user") pass = hostProps.get("test.pass") cli=Expect.open(host, user, pass) cli.send("clear\n") cli.send("cat test.conf\n") cli.expect('~\$') config=cli.before() println config; I've tried many combinations and I'm also not sure on how to remove the shell text information before the command such as the MOTD and system information.Justin_Lanoue19 hours agoHow can I tell what's been customized on a DataSource?
Hi, When I look at the toolbox area, the datasources have an icon that tells me if it's been Customized. How can I tell What has been customized if there aren't any notes in the Local History section? Is there a way to do a comparison between the original somehow if there's no update available for me to compare to? Thanks.Kelemvor2 days ago
