Interface properties on Dashboard tables?
Is it just me or is it just not possible to add interface properties to the table widgets?
I was really excited hearing that we could now get properties listed on a table on a dashboard, but when I tried to do so, it seems that that didn't include instance properties. I've also noticed I can't select interface properties in reports either.
I know I can go to the resource directly and look at the list but I don't understand why there would be a limitation on referencing these properties on the dashboard (or in a report).

·2 years agoWait, how did this get by me? Been waiting years for this. Glad to read docs if any exist.

OP2 years agoI believe it came with this update https://www.logicmonitor.com/release-notes/v-204-release-notes
I don't love the way they work, you have to add at least one datapoint first in order to add properties, but it's a start I suppose

·2 years agoI found out about it from Sarah's "Accelerate to UIv4" LM Elevate session. Worth watching for those that haven't been fully watching (or avoiding) UIv4.

OP2 years agoyes! I saw that too but I can't find any of those again to save my life.

·2 years agoIf only the registration actually sent out the email. Waiting on that before i can watch. Spend less effort on marketing/tracking and get UIv4 to work and you wouldn't have to have sessions convincing people to switch to it.
That's a bummer that instance props don't work. That's probably 95% of my use case.

·2 years agoStill couldn't get the email to work, but my CSM came through with a backdoor link. Watched the video but I'm not impressed. I know they want to keep the tone upbeat and not ever admit to ever doing anything wrong, but new features are not what I want. I want the existing features to work. Most of what they showed is old, by months or even a year.

·2 years agoThis has been something I've been really wanting to be able to do is create dashboards using properties...
There appears to be a "Resource Property" instead of "Datapoints" that can be selected but it's greyed out in both my live and sandbox environments.

·2 years agoI noticed the same thing, it does say resource properties so I assume Instance properties are not currently supported. Will submit feedback for that improvement and suggest others that want that, do also.

OP2 years agoyes I did notice that as well. I would take using the instance groups too, those are pretty useless to me at the moment as well. Lack of support to do certain reporting like this with instances has been a huge pain point for me, I don't understand why it's even an issue. It was so easy to do in our previous monitoring solution (Solarwinds).

OP2 years agoYes I used instance and interface interchangeably, I suppose I mean instance but I am working with interfaces in particular at the moment
