Issue in auto refreshing EC2 properties
I’m encountering an issue with my Windows ASG group EC2 instances. Whenever a new instance is added, certain properties from a dynamic group—most notably “wmi.user” and “wmi.pass”—are applied. However, by the time the instance is registered in LogicMonitor, WMI isn’t immediately available because some automations are still configuring the WMI credentials on the host. A few minutes later, WMI starts working on the host, and I can successfully test it using wbemtest from the local collector. However, the LogicMonitor portal still shows that WMI is not responding. Interestingly, when I use the collector’s debug console and explicitly specify the WMI credentials, it pulls the information successfully. But if I don’t specify the credentials manually, it fails to work. The only way to resolve this is by manually running “refresh properties,” after which WMI starts working without making any changes. I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to automatically force a properties refresh every 15 minutes to ensure everything works as expected without manual intervention.Naveenkumar2 days agoNeophyte
Bug Report: Editing Alert Rules broken
To reproduce: Create an alert rule at priority 1 that ONLY filters on a resource property: "change.me" = "true", sending to NoEscalationChain Edit it, and change thename of the filtered property to "i.am.changed", again with the value "true". Observe that the UI message lets you know that the change has succeeded Expected behaviour: Editing the Alert Rule again, the property name should be "i.am.changed" Actual behaviour: The property name is still "change.me"David_Bond2 days agoProfessor
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?billbianco2 days ago
dell hosts and idrac combined
tie idrac monitoring to its host, not a separate device | LogicMonitor - 5620 saw this old post and have a similar ask. i'm trying to figure out how to the get idrac alerts combined to the host. from what i can tell dell OME monitoring is simply accepting idrac SNMP traps. i can probably copy those same SNMP traps to logicmonitor collectors. for the tieing it together with the host, i'm wondering if there is a way to add the idrac IP as an additional IP to the host itself? will that mess up other things logicmonitor is trying to do? will that provide enough info for logicmonitor to tie an idrac SNMP trap for hardware failures to the host itself?gdavid163 days agoFeature Request: Alerts Page Deep Links
On the Alerts page, in order to communicate a filter to another user, I would like to simply pick up a deep link from the browser navigation bar and send it to a colleague in Teams / email. This should be pretty easy to implement and would provide significant value to Operations Teams. Example implementation:David_Bond4 days agoReporting on Alerts and SDTs
Hi all, I am having an issue trying to generate a report of alerts that are generated outside of SDT. I have found that the 'In SDT' field is only populated while the alert is outstanding, so any alerts that are cleared do not have the 'In SDT' field set to Y. As a result, I am finding it impossible to screen out alerts generated during SDT. My assumption (incorrect) was that 'in SDT' would do this. My requirement is to be able to generate trend data on alerts that are relevant to particular teams/escalation chains, to say (for example) the Linux team had 10 Critical alerts last month, vs 50 the previous month, but unless I can screen out the alerts that are generated during SDT, these may all have been expected and require no action, so the data is meaningless. I was pointed to wards the Alert dashboard, as this has fields for alert suppression type, but this does not seem to be populated either, or is similarly cleared when the alert clears. Has anyone else found an appropriate way of reporting on Alerts that screens these out?Tim_OShea5 days agoLogicMonitor.Api nuget (C#/.NET library) v211 support and breaking changes
The LogicMonitor.Api nuget package for C#/.NET developers now has v211 support and some breaking changes. Don't worry, we're still open source (contributions welcome) and the project team is here (and on Github) to help you transition your code. We (the authors) have made the decision to lean fully into the renaming of "Device" to "Resource" throughout the library. This includes classes like DeviceDataSource, which now becomes ResourceDataSource. This work is mostly complete, though there will be a long tail of obscure Properties which may take us a little longer to get through. We have made good use of the well-IDE-supported [Obsolete] attribute to help your migration. For example, the Device class now looks like this, with all the POCO code moved to Resource.cs: namespace LogicMonitor.Api.Devices; /// <summary> /// Obsolete /// </summary> [Obsolete("Use Resource instead", true)] public class Device : Resource; Note the use of error=true. We have made the decision to force the upgrade, ensuring a clean and EARLY migration experience, with Visual Studio giving you hints with strikethrough and Intellisense hints like this: This concept extends to properties: ...and methods: We understand that there is some refactoring to do. Our flagship Magic Suite systems of products only took an hour to migrate, and we made thousands of changes. A combination of the Obsolete hints and good IDE-fu should make your project a breeze to upgrade also. Shout here if you need help.David_Bond5 days agoCreating a Custom Module based on OIDs?
Hi, We have some IBM MQ devices that we want to monitor. We found some MQ items in the LM Repository, but those are for monitoring the MQ application. We also need to monitor the device for CPU and Memory. I was given the following information and told we should see about monitoring them. I'm not sure if I can modify something to get started or if we'd have to create something from scratch. I'm not familiar with creating anything like this and am hoping someone can point me to something similar I can use and modify or or figure out how to create this from scratch. Thanks!
