- I want the daily results shown in the text so that people can make note of when an action happened
A good reason to think about LM Logs, unless you’re not licensed for it.
- I got in the (bad?) habit of doing all our platform scripts as config sources, all running against our portal resource object, so habit I suppose.
I do this too, although I run mine as datasources so that i can output certain script variables as datapoints at the end of the script.
- I generally want the code to be native groovy or powershell anyway, because in case I get hit by a bus or something, I want someone else coming in to look at the config source to be able to literally see the code there in the LM platform.
A good reason to request native python support in LM. I can’t believe it’s 2024 and we still don’t have it. I’ve been told in the past that it isn’t done because “it would be hard keeping all the virtual environments and stuff from conflicting.” Seems like a cop out to me.
Hey LM, how about adding support for every language by adding docker support? Let me specify the docker repo and container, a list of environment variables populated by tokens, and either an embedded script viewable in the UI, let me upload a set of files, or link to a git repo. There’s a docker container for running scripts in just about every language out there. Wanna run a datasource discovery script in Rust? There’s a container for that. Wanna run a specific version of Python with certain libraries already PIP’ed in? There’s a container for that. What if the collectors could run any script in any language and the script could exist natively in the UI just like Powershell or Groovy scripts?
