Can 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.Collector Status Alerting
The settins/collectors pages show alert ahainst collectors e.g. Watchdog etc. However these alerts do not appear in the general Alerts GUI or against the collector host resource. We have some single collectors that when fail will cause all the resources underneath to alert (host Status). However I would like an alert agains the collector or its host that can be sent to ServiceNow (I do not want a Host Status alert for each resource under a single collector to raise a ticket). I simply want the alert that is generated (collector Down) in the escalation chain to be visible in the GUI with it's ServiceNow ticket. I can see it in the Integration Log(ServiceNow) with a ticket reference generated but this is time consuming and not visible to all users.Clone dashboard group using API
Hi all, We have a process which triggers the cloning of a group of dashboards using the v3 API. It is not often called so I can't say for sure when it stopped working but we've noticed recently that the dashboard group and the contained dashboards have been cloned but do not contain any of the widgets widgets that are present in the "template". Looking at the REST API v3 Swagger documentation, we have noted a (new?) POST method /dashboard/groups/{id}/asyncclone which looks to also be what is called when cloning a dash group in the UI. We have tried to call this method but receive the message Authentication failed 1401 This seems unusual because the same API credentials are being used to add and create devices. If it were a permission issue (API account has full Manage permission of all dashboards), we would expect to see 1403? We've also attempted to use the SDK to achieve the same, although we're seeing different behaviour here - the audit logs suggest the dashboard group has been cloned successfully and references both the ID of the new group and its parent, yet it is nowhere to be found. I will be raising a support ticket but I thought I'd post here to see if we're the only ones experiencing this and might be doing something wrong or if it's a wider issue? MattLots of collectors down. LM having issues?
Hi, We have a bunch of collectors where the LM services are stopped. When we start them back up, they stop again after ~30 seconds. Not sure if it's related to the CloudFlare thing going on or not. Is anyone else having issues? It doesn't seem to be happening to all our collectors, just some of them.
Microsoft 365 Email Usage Monitoring
I'm trying to set up Microsoft 365 Email Usage Monitoring through Logic Monitor. I need to get alerts when the inbox is full or reaches a certain threshold (ex. 90%). The help guides direct me to go to Resources → Add → Cloud Account → Office 365 (or Microsoft 365 SaaS) . But I'm not able to find such options. Anyone with previous experience with setting up this kind of requirement, appreciate your help.Aggregate data over different time ranges
I have a scenario where I need to monitor the storage utilization on one of the drives for a windows server. Currently, I'm using the OOTB monitoring (WinVolumeUsage module), and this collects data every 3m. What I really want is this data summarized in larger time-chunks, and to alert on that view of things. The disk space on the drive can vary wildly in the short-term, so variations in the 3m data collection results cause alert noise. What I do know is that if the disk utilization is high at certain times during the day, then there could be a problem (e.g. in-between batch runs, for example) I'd like to look at larger time windows to see changes - hourly or even just a few times a day - and then alert on those larger time-trends in the storage data. I've thought of two ways to do this: 1. Utilize the Aggregate Data collection method for a custom module, but I'm not seeing much for documentation around this collection type. I tried setting it up to give me min/max/avg of the disk instance's utilization over larger time periods, but no data is being collected. So I couldn't get this to work, and LogicMonitor Support told me I created a custom module, thus they can't assist. 2. Clone the WinVolumeUsage module, and have its data collection be less often. While this solves the problem, I feel strange duplicating code/effort like this when I feel data-summarization is the right way to solve this. Are there other ways that I could be accomplishing this?
🤖 Announcing the LogicMonitor MCP Server: Bringing Real-Time Observability to AI Agents! 🚀
Hello LogicMonitor Community! TL;DR: Visit https://github.com/monitoringartist/logicmonitor-mcp-server and use LogicMonitor with your favorite AI agents (e.g., ChatGPT Enterprise, Cursor, Visual Studio Code, Claude, and more!). It's clear that AI is ruling the world, and the new standard for intelligence isn't just a powerful Large Language Model (LLM)—it's the AI Agent that can autonomously take action. This new wave of Agentic AI relies on a crucial open standard: the Model Context Protocol (MCP). MCP is the common language that allows AI agents to securely connect to external tools, access live data, and execute real-world tasks. It defines a standardized way for an AI agent to request context, and for external services—like LogicMonitor—to provide it. The Power of the LogicMonitor MCP Server I'm thrilled to announce and share the LogicMonitor MCP Server project! This lightweight, open-source server acts as the critical bridge, transforming your rich, real-time observability data into structured context that any MCP-compatible AI agent can understand and act upon. This integration allows an AI agent—whether running in an IDE, a chat interface like Claude, or an internal operations portal—to ask natural language questions and receive precise, real-time answers directly from your LogicMonitor platform, moving beyond static knowledge to truly dynamic, context-aware IT automation. Use Cases: What Can Your AI Agent Ask? Once connected, your AI agent gains powerful new abilities to query and interact with your monitoring environment. You can ask your agent to: Check my recent LogicMonitor audit logs and summarize any errors found. Check the health of all my collectors in the LogicMonitor. Make an ASCII visualization of ping datapoints in LogicMonitor for resource RESOURCE-A. Make a health check of RESOURCE-B via LogicMonitor. Ask in your local language: Current AI agents/LLM models don't have a problem with that usually! Get Started and Contribute! I encourage everyone to explore the repository, set it up, and see the possibilities: https://github.com/monitoringartist/logicmonitor-mcp-server. Please feel free to open any pull requests for LogicMonitor MCP Server improvements and share how you're using this integration in your work! Thanks, Jan
