Observability roadmap
Hi fellow LM wizards, We want to elevate our monitoring as a big MSP. Did someone try to elevate to monitoring as code and create advanced observability? We are not aware what should be fixed or in place to follow the path to Edwin AI or advanced observability. Is there anyone who can share a roadmap with logical steps? Thank you in advance!
Inventory report and how long since a device reported
Hi All Kinda specific question but I want to to be able to run an inventory report against specific customers that will give you the last know state of their devices. The CMDB/Asset team don't care if a device is up , down or unresponsive (Idle) for a few days , but after a couple of weeks they start asking engineers to tidy it up any down/unreachable/offline devices. The reports go out to customers and they are usually keen about those things as costs to them are per device in the CMDB. Standard Inventory reports don't give any indication of current state. System.resourceUpdatedOn and auto.lm.last_check_time only tell us the device is pingable , not that its in any useable state. BSOD boxes still ping. As an aside, a device that gets misloaded (say the snmp or wmi creds were wrong when it was created) the device will get's a Minimal Monitoring status, it can sit there happily as a ping only device with no alerts or anything , we need to be able to pick these up as well. TIA.OAuth 2.0 Web Check Monitoring
Hello, I have an API healthcheck URI that I need to monitor. At first I thought I could use the external website web check, but it appears as if that only offers 2 authentication methods: basic and NTLM. The resource I need to monitor requires OAuth 2.0 authentication. For this I need to have: OAuth credentials (client ID and secret) x-api-key Scopes Bearer token I am able to create this in Postman, but not sure how best to approach this on the LogicMonitor platform. Any ideas on the best method to monitor a website that requires OAuth 2.0?
NetApp Alerting
Hi We are trying to setup alerting for Netapp Devices and want to know if these are possible to setup in logicmonitor or not with out of box Datapoint values: Disk failure or Degraded raid group Network port error count (CRC) Interface link down (netapp logical Interfaces-operational_status datapoint shows delta=-1:Warning what does -1 Mean. Interface flapping Net app Quota Assigned to Users we are having netapp Quota but we want to monitor what is the user quota Assigned for the netapp user/user groupDoes a change in a Dynamic Threshold reset the training data?
We rarely use dynamic alerts but someone wanted to test for it. We set something up but accidentally left the polling interval at 5 (50 minutes). It happened to be set that way for a few weeks before we got around to testing an actual event that exceeded the band we set. But it DID work, it just took almost an hour to get the alert. Well today when we realized this, I tweaked the dynamic threshold, mainly just changing it to 1 interval (2 minutes) because we want the shortest possible response. But the engineer also dropped the bandwidth on the port to a super low value at basically the same time. Its been an hour or more, no alerts. But literally all i changed was the qualification to make it happen sooner. So the TL;DR is ..... does a change to a threshold make the training of the datapoint start over? I see references to how long it takes to train, but nothing on whether changes reset the training, or anything that would explain this.
NetScan via CSV import Description=xxxx
So while doing a netscan CSV import it is possible to populate the "Description" field on each device someway? There's only 4 columns but but nothing for Description details. I have over 300 devices that I need to add the description to and would be great if one of the columns was for Description. I see no way to do this but just wanted to ask.
Groovy Script Module - secondary hostProps
I am attempting to create a Topology module to address ongoing topology issues. Is there a way to target dataobjects (hosts) outside of the host that the module is targeting? Example: import org.json.JSONArray import com.santaba.agent.groovyapi.snmp.Snmp import com.santaba.agent.groovy.utils.GroovyScriptHelper as GSH import com.logicmonitor.mod.Snippets modLoader = GSH.getInstance(GroovySystem.version).getScript("Snippets", Snippets.getLoader()).withBinding(getBinding()) lmtopo = modLoader.load("lm.topo", "0") lmtopoSnmp = modLoader.load("lm.topo.snmp", "0") lmtopoData = modLoader.load("lm.data.topo", "1").create() //Normal working host props: def host = hostProps.get("system.hostname") //Secondary host??? -- made up method def referenceHost = getHost.byName("ServerName")Download of CSV tables is broken in the new UI.
I use the download into CSV function for many studies. With the new UI, that is now broken. I opened a case about it- and they say they are working on a solution they hope to have in the 223 release. We are on the 220 release and I fear the ability to see these tables in the old UI will be gone by then as the speed of rolling out the new UI only sections appears to be speeding up. The CSV table used to download the raw values, but now it is converted from values like 123456 to 123K which is not a value you can edit or pull out the max value over a time range. How many other users also use the Download into CSV option? I love the option and the ability to be able to drill into the actual numbers.IPMI service on host _hostname is reporting an error exit code of 139.0
Hi LM users! We have an alert for IPMI service status monitoring saying: IPMI service on host _myhostname is reporting an exit code of 139.0, which puts it in a state of warn. See section 7 of http://ipmiutil.sourceforge.net/docs/UserGuide for error code details. - However, there is no such exit code in the given documentation. When trying Pool Now option for our Dell server (iDRAC 6 - latest firmware and BIOS version) it says following error - *attempting ipmi driver auto-negotiation * auto-negotiation failed (139): * attempting ipmi with lan2 driver forced * lan2 driver failed (139): ipmi_status: 139 However, when running impitool from LogicMonitor collector the ipmitool commands work fine. Have you ever experienced similar issue?
