Hey all, welcome to the beta for the new UI! With this includes the new look and feel of Resources.Here’s a quick glance at what’s new:Info tab with properties search and filter Alerts tab consistent with Alerts page Maps tab consistent with Topology page Graphs navigation Alert tuning Inventory tab with bulk actions Overview tab Resource dashboard visibility and managementThe official product documentation will cover the functionality in more depth: https://www.logicmonitor.com/support/resources-new-ui-overviewPlease take the new UI for a test drive and let us know what you think!

I know a lot of people probably worked hard on this and not everyone will agree with me, but I personally hate it.I find it almost unusable. It’s incredibly slow and I’m never sure if I missed clicking the element.

I find myself heavily using the “view global definition” button in UIv3. I’m using it UIv4 too, but when focused on the instance, it’s one of three options squirreled away under the overflow menu. That’s not a big deal except for the extra couple dozen or so clicks a day for me. The real problem is that the other two options under there are pretty dangerous: “Disable Alert Generation” and “Stop Collecting”. These used to be toggle switches in the old UI and I get why putting them under the overflow is a nice thing to do. However, I’ve had several heart attacks while trying to just navigate to the global definition of a datasource when I thought I accidentally clicked on one of the other two options. tl;dr - don’t put a non-changing action right next to two pretty severe configuration altering buttons. Also, why is there an overflow anyway? For one thing, there’s more than enough room for all the buttons. For another thing, the “Manage Resource Options” button is right next to it. Guess what it is? A menu with sub options. That’s right, there are basically two overflow menus right next to each other when you are drilled into the instance.

Did I mention that on the resource level, that “Manage Resource Options” button is not its own button, but its functions are displayed in the overflow menu.On the device levelOn the instance level

If I enter a dialog, make no changes and cancel, I should not get an “Are you sure?” prompt.It’s irrelevant whether I’m sure. I made no changes.Affects both the Resource Group and Resource edit dialogs.

I know a lot of people probably worked hard on this and not everyone will agree with me, but I personally hate it. I find it almost unusable. It’s incredibly slow and I’m never sure if I missed clicking the element. It’s certainly way too busy and hard on the eyes. I’ve been playing with it for a few months now to help with bug ID and feedback but I can’t even bear to use it long before toggling it back off.

Hi Cole! Can you clarify how the severity icons are inaccurate? We can also hop on a call to go over it if you’re more comfortable sharing out your screen in a 1:1 session.

I am still getting the occasional JSON error when trying to leave a page and also seem to get stuck with a blank screen when trying to navigate Resources/instances. Also if an instance has an alert and i click on the instance the alert icon disappears so now if i click to a different instance i cant see the alert icon on the previous clicked instance :( took me a good amount of time to find how to disable an instance. After i did disable I click to move away and got the JSON error.

I see we can select multiple alerts and SDT them or disable them. This will be handy. Also having the group inventory where you can select devices to SDT will be super handy for our 24x7 team. Anything like this so we don't have to single click each item is so valuable.

Hey Barb - for those JSON errors, can you submit a support ticket for those? Also, if you’re comfortable sharing, I would love more insight on the alert icon issue.

So UI4 via a fresh customer account can’t navigate at all.
We build out folders out as ‘Clients\COMPANYID\LocationA\Firewalls’ for example. Well when a client logs in with a fresh account, it loads the root folder and doesn’t let them walk down the tree. The root folder never expands. Can’t even generate a HAR as nothing happens at all. You click nadda.

Hi Joe - I believe this is related to an issue that is being fixed in v196. If you want, you can create a support ticket so they can link it to the original bug since the fix is a couple releases from now.

Can we have the option to hide this? The overview page was pretty useless to me before. Now it seems LM has decided to take the most click intensive workflow from the overview page and force it to take up screen space on my graphs page:

Would you (or anyone else on this thread) be open to walking through how you currently use graphs and what datapoints you’re looking at? We want to improve this navigation experience if we can

Select a group, go to alert tuning, search for a configsource like “Standard Configs (SSH Exec)”. Notice there is a datapoint called “Check”.
Reset/refresh. Now that all datapoints are chosen, use the other search box (no, not that one, the other one. No not that one, the other one that is right above the datapoint table) to search for “Check”. Notice that the datapoint under the configsource doesn’t show up.
