Auto Discovery - Dynamically initiate auto discovery based on specific instance status change. | Archive

One use case for logic monitor is using it to monitor processes across our platform. One of the challenges is when monitoring using the SNMP process datasource. When monitoring a specific process with 1 minute polling, 10 minute Auto Discovery, and 2 cycle to alert, the agility of the logic monitor to notice the service is down and then alert that the service back online is slow at times. Could be up to 10 minutes to recover when service has already rebooted as it needs to rediscover the new PID that matches the datasource upon process restart. But sometimes seems to take longer.Feature:Would it be possible to have a datasource initiate an auto discovery automatically? in the case of a specific datapoint status changing? We also wouldn\'t want to cause to much unnecessary auto discovery either.1. Logic monitor notices process is returning \'\'no data\'\'. 2. Need ability to adjust for a specific datasource but if datapoint status goes to \'\'no data\'\' for X cycles, initiate a dynamic auto discovery.3. Attempt to auto discovery at an increased rate for X minutes or until process new PID is discovered and data collection continues as expected.This way we could leave the default auto discover time at 1 day verses 10 minutes as it will automatically initiate a discovery when certain conditions are met for certain instances.Best,Andrew
