Re: AIX Monitoring
Thanks again for the reply Stuart. Did the as you advised and this time get the following - So it looks like the community string is working, but for some reason the SNMP data isn't being reported back? Could this be because something is blocking SNMP access?60Views1like0CommentsRe: AIX Monitoring
39 minutes ago, Stuart Weenig said: Look at the line right above step 0. Last part of that line. If the community string has been set as a property on that device, but the debugger isn't seeing it, there might be several causes: 1. You're debugging on a Collector that's not the same as the Collector monitoring that device. Collectors only have access to the properties of devices assigned to them. 2. You're using 172.25.10.4, which might not be the displayName nor address of that device. Even if it's an IP address on that device, if it's not the displayName nor the address, the Collector won't match it up with a currently monitored device and will think you are trying to diagnose something that isn't monitored in LM. In that case, it doesn't think there are any properties to look up, so it uses the default "public" As a side note, that many "collector has fetched the task" messages sticks out to me. You might look to see that your collector is performing well. I'm blind and completely missed the "Public" line. I have changed to the collector allocated to the server in question and I got the same result. I have also checked the device info in LogicMonitor and found it contains the correct information -12Views1like0CommentsRe: AIX Monitoring
I went back and did another !snmpdiagnose, this time with the snmp version and community passed in the command and I got what appears to be the expected result - Am I correct in my thinking that this means the SNMP Community is correct in AIX and for some reason, on the device in LogicMonitor the community is not being passed?70Views1like0CommentsRe: AIX Monitoring
22 hours ago, Stuart Weenig said: My guess is this is not related as it seems like a message indicating that the AIX system couldn't connect to itself over SNMP. The fact that the AIX system couldn't connect to itself over SNMP may indicate that you don't have the SNMP daemon setup to listen for or allow connections over SNMP. This is confirmed by your !snmpdiagnose output. Your !snmpdiagnose indicates that LM is trying to use 'public' as the community string to communicate with your AIX server. Hopefully you're not actually using "public" as your community string. Take a look here to see how to give LM the right credentials. Thanks for the reply Stuart. Your last line does make me remember another article that I had forgotten about which mentioned running the services but with a command that attaches the community string to the services. I will give this a try and see if it works. I know for a fact that the community string is correct and they have been set as a custom property on the device (the same way we have for other devices) Question: How can yo tell from the diagnose that it is trying to use "Public" as the community string?

Hello, I was wondering if any members of the community have experience with setting up AIX monitoring within LogicMonitor? We have attempted to set it up but are having issues. We are getting basic stats, Host status, Ping and port 25 response time, nothing else. I have checked the aixmibd log file and I am seeing this error – “Connect to SNMP agent on the host loopback failed, will keep trying" I have run !snmpDiagnose from the debugger and get the attached. As far as I am aware there is no firewall blocking the SNMP communication, I have confirmed the service is running in AIX and have confirmed that the community string is correct in both LogicMonitor and AIX. As such I have a few questions - 1/ Has anyone setup AIX monitoring and experienced this issue? 2/ Is there a limitation on the characters, from an AIX perspective that can be included in a community string? H0rs3Sh0e - this isn't our community string but is an example of the character usage. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks,316Views2likes12CommentsRe: LogicMonitor Portal Metrics
Michael, thanks for the response. I have gone through the above this morning, I had done the lmaccess account, id and key already but had missed the DNS / Display name stuff. Have done that this morning and now under the Portal Metrics resource I have created I now see the additional data sources (Alerts, API Utilization etc). Have checked the dashboard and although it is taking a few minutes to pull through, it is starting to pull through information. Again, thanks for the detailed reply and help.27Views3likes0CommentsRe: LogicMonitor Portal Metrics
Hey all Wondering if someone can help. I'm relatively new to LogicMonitor and currently enjoying looking around and finding what I can add to our implementation that we will benefit from and this looks like it could be one of them. I have followed the instructions in the first post, however I am having the same problem that @Michael Dieter above in that only the "Resource Types Monitored" pie chart is displaying any results, the rest is displaying "Instance not found"/ I gather from Michael's last post that he was able to fix it, but I don't understand what he did to fix? Can someone please shed some light on this for me? Thanks,14Views1like0CommentsRe: Windows Patches needed
Apologies for reviving a somewhat old thread, this is working great for us so far I was just wondering if its possible to turn the data into a dashboard? As an example it would display / work something like this - Widget: Security Updates KB name/ information: KB4579979 Devices required: 5 Then click the 5 would display the machines its required on Is something like this possible?22Views0likes0Comments
