Custom Properties auto-resetting after Save?
I will probably open a support ticket and I hope this is just an ignorance thing on my part, but figured I'd check first. A user reported a weird situation. They have a resource folder in which they have set a custom property (snmp.version) to be "v3". For some reason one of the devices in that folder is overriding that with a custom property where the value is set to "v2c". SO FAR NO PROBLEM. But when we either change the custom property on the resource OR DELETE the custom property, as soon as we hit SAVE, the custom property is unchanged. We set snmp.version to v3 and LM immediately sets it to v2c. We delete the custom property, in hope the v3 value is inherited as it should be, but as soon as we hit save ... NO DICE. The value is just v2c anyway. No matter how many times we go change this property (set directly) and edit it to be v2c, or delete it, as soon as we hit save, NOTHING. It the logs I see that I edited the device, but no details. Is there some weird known scenario where this happens? I've never seen anything like it. And I have ENSURED that v2c is not set on any of the other static or dynamic folders that the resource is in. Has anyone seen this before? I kind of feel silly honestly. I wanted to ask here before I bother support.SolvedLewis_Beard7 days agoProfessor42Views0likes7CommentsSupport Cases - Conversation Timestamps Incorrect
I am trying to gather information on technical requests that have taken a considerable amount of time to resolve. While doing so, I noticed when opening a ticket with technical support (through a chat conversation), the case record shows all conversation entries at the exact same time. It appears that the date/time stamp is for the last entry in the conversation. However, if you export the chat, the timestamps appear correct: I am curious if this information is relied upon in order to identify support improvements.SolvedJRider7 days agoNeophyte25Views0likes1CommentFeedback: Please Remove In-Product Marketing from LogicMonitor UI
Hi all, I’ve recently noticed that LogicMonitor has added a new menu item called “Cost Optimization”. Behind this link there’s a page that explains the feature and how to subscribe by contacting my CSM for an additional cost. As the main administrator of our LogicMonitor portal, I want to share my concern: I never requested this feature and do not plan to use it. The placement feels like a marketing push inside a tool we’re already paying premium dollars for. It is creating unnecessary confusion among my users, who keep asking me about the function, whether we are adopting it, etc.—which in turn costs me time. After raising a support ticket, I was told that I could disable the menu item by adjusting role settings. To me, this feels like the wrong approach. I don’t think it should be on customers to hide marketing-driven features inside a paid product. My feedback to LogicMonitor is simple: Please reconsider this type of in-product marketing. Features that require an additional subscription should not appear as permanent menu items unless explicitly enabled by the customer. I’d like to hear what others think—has anyone else run into the same frustration? Thanks, JeroenSolvedJeroenB19 days agoNeophyte144Views8likes10CommentsBetter "Adding a Service" documentation?
I wanted to start looking into Services, the last time I messed around with one, they were more limited. So I went to this page https://www.logicmonitor.com/support/adding-a-service and there is a list of all the options to add a service, but honestly there is no explanation at all. For example: 1) is the IP/DNS name for the service needed? Why? What does it even do? 2) Why do I need to specify a collector? Is this like a Netscan where I can just pick any collector to take up the load? How much load does this add? 3) If I am picking an auto-balanced group, why must I pick a preferred collector? I was about to type a long continuation but basically .... is there a page that actually explains these individual options in an in-depth fashion? Whether or not there is some allbound training or a badge for it or whatever, I'd think there would be some documentation discussing in detail what each item is, other than a simple listing of what it is. Basically, this page seems written as a casual reference for people who already use this regularly. I'm wondering if there is any proper documentation somewhere or if its gatekept behind some training? I'm about to blunder through with trial and error, but I prefer not to. :)SolvedLewis_Beard28 days agoProfessor62Views0likes7CommentsMonitor a running .exe
We have a need to monitor if a particular .exe is running on a windows system. So if you were to go into task manager and just look for whether it was running or not (e.g. task.exe exists). Seems pretty simple but I'm not sure how to get alerted if the process no longer exists. Thanks in advanceSolved68Views0likes6CommentsCreated custom properties when discovering devices
I'm trying to automate our onboarding process of resources a bit more because at the moment we are wasting a lot of time with custom properties and dynamic groups. We are mainly working with dynamic groups that look at custom properties on the resource (Location of the resources, application the resources is used for, PRD or TST, etc ...) to decide which resources they have to use . Now because dynamic groups don't support inherited properties this creates a situation where we have to manually add these custom properties for each resource. Is there a way to add these properties during the Netscan? Because we know that resources in a certain ip range are linked to a certain site/application/... Any other solutions to automate this as much as possible are also appreciated.Solved31Views0likes2CommentsAdding additional Root and Intermediate CA certificates to Linux collector.
Hello, I have some https website tests that are failing because the Root and Intermediate CA certificates are not in the collector trust store. I have added the certificates into /etc/ssl/certs and ran sudo update-ca-certificates. openssl s_client connection now verifies the certificate chain, however the website test still fails with the same error. does the collector use a different trust store to the standard package installed to the Ubuntu 22.04 OS? I'm assuming that as it's mostly Java based there is a particular module or something that uses a different trust store. I can't find any information about this elsewhere. The CA's in question are: SectigoRSADomainValidationSecureServerCA.crt SecureCertificateServices.crt /etc/ssl/certs/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Jul 21 17:19 75583d7f.0 -> SecureCertificateServices.pem lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Jul 21 17:19 65ff7287.0 -> SectigoRSADomainValidationSecureServerCA.pem you can see here the openssl verification of the chain: Start Time: 1753171962 Timeout : 7200 (sec) Verify return code: 0 (ok) Then the website check step failing: One other minor frustration is in the debug runner, !opssl is listed as a valid command, however when trying to run it, it says unknown debug command, really not all that useful so I can to connect to the customer environment and directly ssh to the collectors to even begin troubleshooting because there was no real useful information returned in the UI.Solvedllama2 months agoNeophyte39Views0likes1CommentBMC Remedy Integration
Hi all I'm looking to do an ITSM integration with BMC Helix/Remedy, which isn't natively supported. It looks as though we can create a new incident by making a POST request to their API. But, if we want to do an update, it seems their API requires that you first query the API for an internal ID for the Incident, then make a second call with the update referring to that internal ID. Apparently this behaviour in the API cannot be altered. I don't see any way to achieve this in LogicMonitor. Has anyone successfully integrated LM and BMC Helix/Remedy? I think we will likely need to build something to sit between and receive the updates from LM and then call the Helix API. Interested in hearing what others may have done to achieve this.

There is a need to add a step to the Integration Docs (We're doing Connectwise, but I'm sure others need it as well)... https://www.logicmonitor.com/support/connectwise-integration It doesn't state that the escalation time in the alert rules that push to it should be set to "0" where possible to prevent over aggressive updates across the API from occurring. It is stated in the Alert Rule Documentation but isn't stated where the activity it ultimately effects is performed. Support recommended I use the Feedback option in the support sidebar... but that's blackhole with no feedback channel, so I'm posting it here instead.SolvedCole_McDonald3 months agoProfessor43Views1like1CommentPercentage-Based thresholds?
Is there anywhere in LM that lets me set a static percentage-based threshold? I'm aware of dynamic thresholds (not an expert) but we have some things that stay absolutely flat (or pretty close) so dynamic thresholds dont work mathematically for going over OR under by a percentage, for what I believe to be obvious reasons: Calculated lower threshold = 640 - ((640 - 640) * 0.5) = 640 So I'm wondering, and maybe I've missed it, but is there any meaningful way to simply alert on a percentage change UP or DOWN for data that is flat?SolvedLewis_Beard4 months agoProfessor139Views1like3Comments
