OverviewThe March EMEA User Group brought together MSPs, enterprise network teams, and global service owners for a candid and highly practical discussion around monitoring consolidation, automation, and future-proofing infrastructure observability.This session featured a deep dive into a customer's journey from a fragmented, aging monitoring stack to a consolidated LogicMonitor platform supporting over 5,000 network devices and 6,500+ access points globally.What stood out most was not just tool consolidation, but how automation, API driven integrations, and structured alert tuning reduced operational overhead while improving visibility. The conversation also surfaced honest feedback around reporting limitations, topology mapping expectations, Windows monitoring strategy, and readiness for Edwin AI adoption.For technical practitioners and service owners, this was a grounded, real world look at monitoring modernization inside a global enterprise environment.Key HighlightsToolset Consolidation: Replaced multiple legacy Java based tools with a single LogicMonitor deployment supporting network, NetFlow, and syslog collectors.Rapid Onboarding Success: Migrated devices under aggressive timelines, completing onboarding in days instead of months.API Driven Automation: Integrated internal asset databases and Catalyst Centers via API to fully automate device lifecycle management.Alert Noise Reduction: Reduced alert volume by more than 60 percent through classification, threshold tuning, and dynamic threshold adoption.Automated Diagnostics in Action: Leveraged automated diagnostics and scripted remediation to restart services on legacy systems without manual intervention.Custom Compliance Visibility: Built software compliance dashboards using property sources and custom attributes to dynamically categorize devices as Gold, Silver, or Non-Compliant.Q&AQ: Are you planning to use Edwin AI to consolidate alerts into incidents? A: “Yes, Edwin AI is definitely on the plate to be tested.”Q: Why prioritize other initiatives before Edwin AI? A: “We still have to clean up our alerts. Before that, it doesn’t make sense to hop on Edwin AI because it will just throw tons of alerts at us.”Q: How did you automate device onboarding and lifecycle management? A: “We integrated Catalyst Centers and our internal asset database with the LogicMonitor API. Nobody has to manually add or delete devices anymore.”Q: What challenges remain? A: “Topology maps are evolving, but deeper visibility such as VLAN assignment and interface details directly within the map would help troubleshooting.”Q: Where does LogicMonitor still need improvement? A: “Reports are often limited. For large data sets, we are forced to export CSV and process externally.”Customer Call-outs⭐ “The default setup already identified infrastructure issues that the former solution wasn’t even aware of.”⭐ “We reduced alert noise more than 60 percent.”What’s Next🎿 LogicMonitor Ski SchoolMarch 9 – April 5Our 4-week digital enablement program is designed to accelerate adoption and build confidence with AI-powered observability.Participants will:Fast-track LogicMonitor and Edwin AI skillsJoin weekly live expert demos and open Q&AEarn 4 badges, including the new Edwin AI badgeApply AIOps best practices in real-world use casesIf your team is working toward operationalizing AIOps with structure and governance, this is a strong starting point.➡️ Join todayLogs for LunchInsight from Logs with Edwin AIMarch 11Leverage log data in LM Envision to gain smarter, faster insights with Edwin AI.
