Q: Can we see a brief demo of Topology mapping? We're interested in cutting down our "noise" during an outage.

Q: Can LogicMonitor obtain basic Linux server metrics such as CPU and RAM utilization without the need for SSH?

Q: Having trouble with webchecks that need to run externally for loading and then logging into a portal, using cookies and tokens (cant be internal)

Q: Is it just me or that Powershell datasources using .Net CLR are much faster and less spec heavy than Groovy JVMs?
Follow-up Comment: I thought it was the opposite.
A: Answered at 32:58
Q: How can you tell if you are licensed for Pro vs. Enterprise?
A: There isn’t a way to see that from within your LM account, so you’d either need to check your most recent LM contract or check with your CSM. If you let me know your account name I can pull that info for you now. In addition, is there a way in the UI to show add-ons like Service Insights and/or LM Config?
Q: these default value is enogh?
A: Answered at 33:49
Q: What are the advantages and disadvantages to a Windows vs Linux Collector?
Follow-up Comment: Linux collectors cannot monitor WMI on Windows.
A: That’s exactly right. The Linux Collector can’t do WMI, so if you need to monitor Windows servers, you’ll need a Windows Collector. Aside from that, they behave exactly the same and can both monitor everything else.
Q: Can you setup RCA to use website checks as a dependancy? For example if we are monitoring remote sites without collectors (over VPN) and want to preventing an alert storm if the site's internet/power does down. by Website check, I mean doing an external PING check to a site's WAN interface on the website page in LM. Suggestion on a solution for this then?
A: Answered at 36:32. A website cannot be added to a service and TopologySources don't run against websites. This is likely temporary.
Q: can we add the threshold using exchange?
A: Answered at 39:03
Q: What's the best way to monitor SIP voice traffic and connectivity? We just recently switched from PRI voice connection to SIP on ShoreTel. And SIP quality.
Follow-up Comment: You should probably post on Communities, to see if anyone has already done this. Otherwise, you're going to know what metrics you want to monitor.
