Collector Alerts

Is there any documentation [or other source] for specific settings for the Collectors?  There's a ton of Modules and DataPoints but not much on specifics for setting those DataPoints.

  • What kinda Collector Alerts are you referring to? When I think of "Collector Alerts" I think of the alerts when a collector is down and working in the Collector page in Settings. There isn't much, if anything, to configure there.

    Or are you referring to the various DataSources that provide stats on the Collector itself? The DataSources that start with "LogicMonitor_Collector_". I haven't really played with those thresholds myself and assume defaults are good.

  • Yes the Alerts generated by the LogicMonitor_Collector_**** modules.  There are a bunch of them.  But there aren't ANY defaults...at least not on my set of modules.  Is there a list of defaults somewhere that I could reference?  That would be a great place to start.

  • I see a few of them do have thresholds set, but yeah most of them don't. I haven't set any extra thresholds myself nor found the need to do any in the past. I rarely run into Collector issues and I guess we haven't really found the need to tune them or look even at these DataSources much at all. I have a feeling they are mostly to provide performance data to LM support if you do run into Collector issues. I would be interested if others here have customized them though.

  • I have lots of standalone collectors and lots of collectors with hundreds of devices. Obvs thresholds for one dont apply to the other. Really the only ones I care about is the queue lengths and memory/cpu , If something is going wrong somewhere , the queue lengths build or top out so that's the only ones I alert on.
