Output representation for each process name in Logicmonitor

Just to check some basics: this is a multi-instance, BATCHSCRIPT DS and you have active discovery enabled. Right?

It looks like you put your collection script into the active discovery script section. Your ActiveDiscovery script should be outputting the ID and name of the application in this format:

app1_id##app1_displayname
app2_id##app2_displayname
app3_id##app3_displayname
app4_id##app4_displayname
app5_id##app5_displayname

Yes, Correct multi-instance and active discovery enabled.

>>>>>>>>> It looks like you put your collection script into the active discovery script section. Your ActiveDiscovery script should be outputting the ID and name of the application in this format:

It is in below format:

Application_Name1##CPU_Percentage
Application_Name2##CPU_Percentage

That's not the right format. Your discovery script output should be like this:

app1_id##app1_displayname
app2_id##app2_displayname
app3_id##app3_displayname
app4_id##app4_displayname
app5_id##app5_displayname

In this setup for multi-instance, active discovery method, there are 2 blocks for adding Powershell script.

1st block after Active discover option parameters and 2nd block after Collector attributes.

What should be placed in the collector attributes script block ?

In the active discovery script, you should put the script that fetches the list of things to be monitored (instances to create in LM).

In the collector attributes script, you should put the script that fetches the actual data. What you were using for your active discovery script would likely be very close to what you actually need for your collection script.

Can you please provide any example of the Collector attributes script as reference for better understanding ?

Sure, but you already have the collector script, mostly.

The question you need to answer is whether you setup the DS as script or batchscript.

If you set it up as script, then your script should only output the data for one of the instances (app/service/process). In that case, the output should look like this according to the support documentation:

datapoint_name: value

So, in your case, it would look like this:

cpu: 87

However, if you chose batchscript (which you likely should change if you didn't), then our output should look like this:

instance1.key1: value1
instance1.key2: value2
instance1.key3: value3
instance2.key1: value1
instance2.key2: value2
instance2.key3: value3

So, in your case it would look like this:

sihost.cpu: 23
ssonsvr.cpu: 8
ShellExperienceHost.cpu: 20
SelfService.cpu: 9
SelfServicePlugin.cpu: 15

My collector script prints the data like below

Application_Name1##CPU_Percentage
Application_Name2##CPU_Percentage

So what should I place in collector attributes script to store data ?

Looks like batchscript then (look at the options in the "general information" section of the DS config to be sure). In that case, use the 3rd and 4th output snippets from my previous reply as your template.
