Re: CSV Import devices
When creating the CSV files for Netscans, the required headers are as follows IP,displayname,hostgroup,properties It may not be immediately clear, but there are only 4 total columns you'll use for these imports and all 4 columns are required. All of the desired properties you want to apply to a given device must exist in that 4th "properties" column. In our netscan documentation here https://www.logicmonitor.com/support/creating-netscans we even have some examples of lines. You'll notice that the properties entries are encased in double quotes with the format of the "prop.one=firstproperty prop.two=secondproperty" with each pair being space delimited. IP,displayname,hostgroup,properties 10.0.0.10,Device from CSV,New Target Group,"prop.one=firstproperty prop.two=secondproperty" 10.0.0.11,Another Device from CSV,New Target Group,"prop.one=firstproperties prop.two=secondproperties" Depending on the spreadsheet editor you're using, you can combine the columns beyond the 4th into that singular column using a CONCATENATE or similar function. For MS Excel they document it here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/concat-function-9b1a9a3f-94ff-41af-9736-694cbd6b4ca2 . This will allow you to format that "properties" column with multiple properties and values as well as including the needed double quotes around here.32Views6likes0CommentsFinding Cisco IOS XE CVE-2023-20198 With ConfigSources
On October 16, 2023, Cisco published a vulnerability that affects IOS XE machines running the built-in web server: https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-iosxe-webui-privesc-j22SaA4z This is tracked as https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-20198 By adding a simple Config Check to an existing Cisco IOS ConfigSource, LogicMonitor can help people quickly identify which resources have the web server enabled. Here is an example: Name: Cisco-CSCwh87343-Check Check type: "Use Groovy Script" Groovy script: /* The built-in string variable 'config' contains the entire contents of the configuration file. The following example will trigger an alert when the configuration file contains the string "blue". if (config.contains("blue")) { return 1; } else { return 0; } */ if (config.contains("ip http")) { return 1; } else { return 0; } Then trigger this type of alert: Warning Description: "Search for presence of Cisco CSCwh87343 vulnerability" Caveats: -This will apply to all devices where the ConfigSource is used, even though all devices may not be affected by the vulnerability -This assumes usage of ConfigSources and specifically the Cisco_iOS ConfigSource Thanks to Todd Ritter for finding this CVE and Creating the ConfigSource231Views16likes1CommentLM Academy - How to Become a LogicMonitor Wizard
