ability to send data to logicmonitor collectors | Archive

Logicmonitor is great at active monitoring aka polling (going out and retrieving information through snmp, jmx, jdbc etc etc), however it is not good at receiving information aka passive monitoring. (both snmp traps and syslog inputs are just for alerting and cannot be used for graphs).The idea of being able to send data to a monitoring system is not something new. Zabbix has zabbix_sender util, nagios has nrdp, graphite also allows you to open a raw socket and send data. The ask is for logicmonitor to add the following functionality to the logicmonitor collector:1. listen on a configured port (tcp/udp depends on the user)2. parse the data that is passed on the port to see if it meets the proper format (the format would be pre-defined by Logicmonitor. Something like \'\')3. normalize the data into the same format as other data4. send to logicmonitor cloud serversI do believe most of this functionality is already in the collector. The ability to take data in is already in the netflow product so please extend this to allow us to write custom applications on our side and feed data into logicmonitor.
