Do you use SSO and require group membership? And does it also assign permissions?
Hi, We have SSO setup between LM and Azure. It's currently just wide open that anyone with an AD/Entra account can log into LM and get default Read-Only rights. However, I was asked to see about restricting access so that everyone would have to be in a certain LM Group in AD in order for them to get permissions. I think I can figure that part out but I'm also wondering about assigning roles to people based on their AD group. In LM we have various Roles setup so people only have Edit rights to groups that they manage. Network Team has edit rights to the Network Equipment group, Database team has edit rights to the Database Servers group, etc. I was originally thinking I'd use SSO just to grant base access and then I'd assign people to roles within LM that would set their permissions. Then I thought maybe I could create LM groups in AD for each team and have those grant access and handle the Roles people get assigned to. Just curious how many people utilize the role assigned from SSO thing and how well it works or if people just handle that within LM. Thanks.New UI - Changes to Info tab on Resources page
Anybody else notice some major changes in the past few days to the Info tab of the Resources page in the new UI. I noticed the below 2 changes this week in the Info tab. I did not see this in any portal release notes, and both of these seem to be negative changes in my opinion which makes the UI worse. Can no longer see what group-level inherited properties are defined at. There used to be a column to see this, or a carat (<) icon which could be expanded to see the group a property is inherited from. Info tab can now only show 25 properties at a time, and you have to click through multiple pages to see all properties. as a caveat to this, the new search bar in the Info tab to filter properties is nice.
Linux Collectors: Expanded OS Support
We recently expanded our list of supported Linux distributions by adding Oracle, Chainguard, and Rocky Linux. Also, at the end of June we'll no longer support CentOS, as this distribution is end of life and no longer maintained. https://www.logicmonitor.com/support/adding-collector#h-collector-server-requirements Excerpt support list for Collector OS: Amazon Linux CentOS Linux (LogicMonitor End of Support: July 1, 2026) Chainguard Debian GNU/Linux Oracle Linux Server Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Rocky Linux Ubuntu With this, over 93% of all Linux collectors used by our customers are using a LogicMonitor-supported Linux distribution. However, a little south of 5% of Linux collectors are still running CentOS that reached end-of-life four years ago, so if this applies to please make plans to migrate to a supported Linux distro to mitigate risk of monitoring disruption and to maintain a strong security posture.
Get added devices from a certain month
Hi Community Since 2 months our invoice is going above our contractual amount of devices. I want to have a list of the devices that are added in a specific month (for example October). Following the invoice of October we had 800+ devices added. I have contacted support, who told me to contact my CSM, who told me to contact the community, so here I am. Things I have done so far: check the audit logs and filter on "added resource" --> gives only 44 logs check the audit logs and filter on "added device" --> gives only 159 logs Does anybody have an idea on how I can see which devices are added in October? Thank you. kr Arne
Centralizing Vendor Status Pages in LogicMonitor - How are you doing it?
Hi everyone, We are currently tracking dozens and dozens of vendor/SaaS status pages and want to centralize them in a clean way. We’re trying to standardize the approach as the list grows. How are others handling the mix, for example every vendors status page is a little bit different or doesn't have the same options as the other. What’s your real-world setup for this? Thank you, EddyCan I create a dashboard that let's the user pick which groups of servers they want to see?
Hi, We have servers in the US and in Canada. We also have various types of servers such as App, Web, etc. I have users who need to see the CPU and Memory for a certain group of servers together. E.g. alll the US App servers or the Canada Web servers. Is there any way to do this with a single dashboard that would somehow allow the user to specify which servers or server group they want to see at the top and it would then update all the widgets on the dashboard to show those servers? I currently have a dashboard for US App, US Web, CA App, CA Web, etc. They are all hard coded to the proper servers. I was hoping for a way they coudl either: Pick from a dropdown list of which type of server they want, and the widgets would then update to show those predefined servers. type in their own filter like US-APP* and have the widgets update to reflect the proper servers. Is anything like that possible? Thanks.Anyone else having issues since Collector v39?
We got v39 on Tuesday. that night, and last night, we had a couple collectors that seem to lose connectivity with everything. We'll get a couple hundred alerts for Host Status / IdeInterval for every server the collector monitors. They 5 minutes later all the alerts clear. Very strange. I reinstalled the collector software on one of them so we'll see what happens in the next 24 hrs, but wanted to see if I was alone with this issue. THanks.
Interface down state
What's the best method to handle a interface down state alert? As I understand it by default these alerts will just stay open forever unless brought back online. I do want an alert if the port goes down but there also many cases that port may be offline for sometime and I don't necessarily need an open/active alert for it forever.
