We are a BlueCat shop and we’re now using LM to monitor our BlueCat VMs and appliances.When the addCategory_BlueCat PropertySources script runs it applies the categories “BlueCatDNS”, “BlueCatDHCP”, and “BlueCatIPAM” as appropriate. We have some difficulty with that exact process working correctly, but I’ll leave that for a different post. These tags engage new DataSources that monitor BlueCat-specific stuff. Great. This is in addition to the standard stuff like CPU Cores, Ping, network interfaces, etc.But I noticed that if I manually apply the tag “Netsnmp” it also provides CPU Overview, Disks, and Memory Usage. As you may expect, these are very helpful in measuring the health of the system.Furthermore, if you add the tag “linux” it will monitor the Filesystem. Again, very helpful.Can we engage LM developers to automatically add these two tags when a BlueCat device is being added to LM? We can tweak the system and add the “Netsnmp,linux” tags ourselves by adding an SNMP SysOID map... \.1\.3\.6\.1\.4\.1\.13315...or we could tweak the addCategory_BlueCat ProperySource script. I don’t know which way would be more elegant. Either way, it would be nice for LM to perform the change on the back-end so that all LM customers can benefit.Thanks.
