Can LogicMonitor use Active Directory OU information for grouping?

Hi,

We have our servers organized in AD and use those OUs to group similar machines together. Can I access that information in LM in any way? I want to make a collection in LM of all the machines in a certain OU in AD but don't know if that's possible or not.

Thanks.

Taking a quick peak, there are few existing ones that have "powershell" in the name like addCategory_Veeam_BackupAndReplication_PowerShell. But really you just need to have it output the values and an exit code:

if ($ComputerOU) {
    Write-Output "auto.activedirectory.ou=$ComputerOU"
    exit 0
} else {
    exit 1
}

(Write-Host also works)

Oh. That's it? That seems pretty simple. I can think of a bunch of uses for this.

Thanks.

You may be able to write a custom PropertySource that does a Get-ADComputer to get the name of the OU into an auto property. Then you can use dynamic groups to look at that property to group them together.

Is there a sample PropertySource that uses PowerShell that I could look at to see how it works? This website says you can use Groovy or PowerShell, but every single one of the examples uses Groovy.

It's be great if there was at least one example showing PowerShell.

Thanks
