2021-03-31 Office Hours

We wanted to call special attention to this month's last-Wednesday webinar as it will be slightly different than our normal Office Hours. We will still have a Q&A section, but before we get to the questions, we'll have @Sarah Terry, Sr. Director, Product Management on the webinar to present a new segment called "What's new at LM?" She'll be talking about LM Logs, our new log analytics feature. Register here then bring your coffee and questions!

    Here's the recording from today's webinar:


     

    Here are the questions asked and where you can find the question asked and answered in the video:

    [12:09] Any thought to bringing logs into dashboard widgets for visualizing patterns?

    [12:57] Periodically, its not uncommon to enable debug/more explicit logging for resources....suddenly increasing volume might trigger sudden false positive anomalies.

    [14:11] any thoughts to allowing some kind of SDT for logs?

    [14:44] And, is there a 'negative' anomaly, when a very chatty resource suddenly goes radio silent?

    [18:12] Would you share some thoughts about designing an snmp datasource to capture a counter in a Juniper firewall and convert it to a rate? 
    [24:10] jnxJsScreenMonEntry 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.39.1.8.1.1.1.1

    [26:38] Since I'll be polling about a dozen of those counters, that means a mult-instance datasource (probably the better way than having a datasource for each individual counter).   I can just repeat what you just described---that was a single instance I think--- for each wildvalue/instance?  Thanks for letting me monopolize the conversation!

    [32:41] As you noted that is a long list.   we are currently only enforcing a small subset, so only those counters will be non zero and increasing.  Is there a good way to allow it to walk the MIB and dynamically pick up and record only those that are non-zero?   That way if/when we add enforcement to counters in the future I wouldn't need to return to the datasource to add a new datapoint?
