Can I run a powershell script?

Hello, Our company's IT team uses LogicMonitor.  I have a background using Nagios.  With Nagios, I can run a PowerShell script that returns one of three possible values (OK, WARNING, CRITICAL).  I have a script that calls an internal application's API, takes the resulting JSON and parses it looking for specific items.  It does some logic on the result and returns a status of OK/WARNING/CRITICAL based on the results.  This PowerShell script would be run from the monitoring server.  I was told LogicMonitor can only do checks via SNMP & WMI.  Can it do custom checks like this?  What resource can you point me to to learn more about how to do this?

Groovy Script Forcibly Killed. Elapsed time 47 seconds

I'm attempting to create a data source which runs a jdbc query using groovy scripting. The query takes about 2 minutes to run.   I have adjusted the collector timeout like this: # script collector configuration collector.script.enable=true collector.script.threadpool=100 collector.script.timeout=360 I get the error : Groovy Script Forcibly Killed.  Elapsed time 47 seconds. Is there some other setting or configuration that I need to adjust or is this a hard limitation for Groovy script, JDBC queries.

Adding/Modifying Device System and Auto Properties via API

When I was checking the api documentation, there was nothing there indicating how to add/modify System Properties for example "system.sysinfo". Is this even possible? I bring up as it would be useful for reporting/dashboard purposes, as sometimes we DONT have a means to fully monitor a machine aside from pinging it and or engaging it via an API, but say in a quick report we want to see how many windows/CentOS servers we have and the connection trends, we can sort/filter by system.sysinfo or other system properties that are usually there.

IIS Log Aggregation / Analyzation / Monitoring?

Can LogicMonitor aggregate / analyze / monitor logs from Windows Server IIS, outside of more system-wide Netflow? I checked out adding an Event Source of type log file, and pointed it at a directory of IIS logs, which were located on a remote server (so, I used a UNC path pointing from the collector to the remote system, which was on the same subnet), but, I'd rather not have to specify an alert along with it, and because of that, I'm not sure if it's working as I'd hoped. Basically, I'm looking for something on the level of Azure Monitor (aka Log Analytics) / SCOM (more info: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/platform/data-sources-iis-logs), or Naigos / SolarWinds / Sumo Logic.

New Alert UI - multiple ACK

Hi all.  I searched but haven't found an answer. In the new Alerts UI the "Add ACK" seems to be missing (at least for me).  I've tried Firefox 83.0 (64-bit) and Chrome Version 87.0.4280.88 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Win10). The documentation shows it -https://www.logicmonitor.com/support/alerts/about-alerts/alerts-page-overview/#multiple If I view the alerts in the old UI, there is still the option to check several alerts and click the Acknowledge button. What am I missing??   Thanks!

Export Netflow from Windows Server to LogicMonitor

Exporting Netflow from Windows with FlowTraq Exporter NetFlow is an industry standard network protocol for monitoring traffic flows across a network interface. It is used most commonly by devices like firewalls, routers, and switches, but some software packages make it possible to export Netflow data from a server operating system - in this case Windows - to a Netflow collector (LogicMonitor) for traffic analysis. Instructions 1.) Register for and download the free FlowTraq Exporter. 2.) Download WinPcap (Windows packet capture library). 3.) Install WinPcap on the server you wish to export Netflow data from. 4.) Install and configure Flowtraq Exporter on the server you wish to export Netflow data from. - Select an interface from which to export Netflow data on the server. - Point the Netflow export data to the LogicMonitor Collector that will be monitoring the device and ingesting the flow data. - The LogicMonitor collector listens for Netflow

Can LogicMonitor provide monitoring services in mainland China?

I have a Global account and plan to set up a set of Azure Stack systems (based on Dell servers and switch) in China. This customer asked us whether Logicmonitor can monitor Azure Stack servers in China. I saw on the Logicmonitor website that Logicmonitor can monitor Azure Cloud, so please help confirm two questions: 1. Can Logicmonitor provide monitoring services in mainland China? 2. Can Logicmonitor monitor Azure Stack hardware systems (DELL PowerEdge and PowerSwitch)?   thanks.

Collector Status Page - Property source task hostabc:21 has run about 65123 seconds

On the 'Collector Status Page' near the bottom I'm seeing something like: "PropertySource: The property source task hostabc123.co.com:21 has run about 65961 seconds. Please check whether it's blocked or has any updates in property source." How can I identify which property source that is exactly? Does the ":21" refer to a particular property source or is that just some random task execution id?   I've looked at !aplist and !apdetail but I don't see an association between anything there and the status msg. Any ideas? Thx.

Is there any Exchange DAG monitoring DS nowadays?

Hello, Just wondering if anyone developed DS to monitoring Exchange DAG so far? That monitoring is really important on our current tool... If not, I guess we can develop one but, prior to that I just wanna make sure there's nothing out there already. Thank you in advance!

How can I Monitor Windows Service with Dynamic Display Name?

I have a windows service that the Display name is dynamically appended with the PID each time the service restarts. I need to monitor this service, however, every time the service is started the Display name changes as the process PID changes.   Is there a way to monitor the service by service name and NOT by display name?  All I can get to work is the display name.

AppliesTo Scripting Question

Hi I have spent some time trying to work this out but need. My environment consists of about 30 vCenter Servers (including their hypervisors). I am trying to create a dynamic group with a custom query that finds all those hypervisors with a certain property. In this instance, I am looking for specific versions of ESXi so have got the following custom query: isVirtualization(contains(auto.version_number,"6.5.0")) It picks up the ESXi hosts that are at version 6.5.0 but it also picks up ESXi hosts on other versions. Please can someone help point out where I am going wrong? I will also look to expand it to include 6.7.0 and 7.0.0 first things first. Thanks for any assistance. Regards, Michael

Is there a way to include the Instance Group Name in a report?

Does anyone know if there is a way to include the Instance Group Name as a column in a report?  I tried:   instance.group     /    ##INSTANCEGROUP##   /   system.deviceGroupId but none of these worked.  So under any DS you can add an Instance Group and I need to include that Group Name in the inventory report. Its not listed as a property on the Instances INFO page.  Thanks,

Monitor UCCX Backup Status thru SSH

Hello, I have a UCCX Cluster where I want to monitor the backup status.    I've wrote most of the code to SSH into the system and run the command to check the backup status.    The issue I'm having is being able to parse it and alarm on it correctly.     Can anyone help me on parsing out these three fields.....I assume it'd need to be a Key:Value pair but not sure how to do that.   And if I find "SUCCESS", how can I trigger a datapoint threshold?   I assume I have to convert the SUCCESS into a 1 or 0 and alarm on that INTEGER.     def status = command_output.findAll(~/Status:\s(.*)/) { key, value -> value }     def tar_file = command_output.findAll(~/Tar Filename:\s(.*)/) { key, value -> value }     def percentage = command_output.findAll(~/Percentage Complete:\s(.*)/) { key, value -> value }   Here is my Groovy script: import com.santaba.agent.groovyapi.expect.Expect; import com.santaba.agent.groovyapi.snmp.Snmp; import com.santaba.agent.groovyapi.http.

method to expunge categories no longer applicable?

I have been trying to figure out a way to auto-remove categories added by PropertySources when they are no longer applicable (e.g., when something stops being an IIS server, SQL server, DHCP server, etc.). I have found recently this is an annoying problem as PropertySources-added categories live forever until manually removed and the modules cannot subtract AFAIK. OTOH, the method of adding a category is undocumented -- I only know about it from review of modules provided by LM, so perhaps there is a method that interprets a negation operator (like !) to remove the listed category? I can think of other options, but they would require replicating what a PropertySource does and use the debugger (via API) to change system.categories.  Would prefer to avoid that as it would be pretty complex and using the debugger that way always makes me cringe when I consider the security implications .

Monitor Linux Processes (via SSH)

Hello, In our current monitoring tool we monitoring Linux processe profiles using a Regex expression to match one or more. Example, we've a profile that will look into processes that contain /.*OpswiseAgent.*/ in their cmdline path. Once those are running, the probe picks them automatically and monitors their state (not actually having the PID in mind because that might change). In LM we would also not rely on PID since it might change (in terms of wildvalue).There can be also more that 1 process (with diff PIDs) running with the same exact cmdline (therefore it needs to pick those in diff. instances). I'm just unsure how to have a working solution having in mind all of this (unique wildvalue & wildalias). Can anyone assist here perhaps? Regards,

Is there a way to export data source to a template file; CSV?

So we are in the final phases of rolling out LogicMonitor and now the daunting process of Alert Tuning has rolled upon us. In our old monitoring solution we has it very much tweaked and customized and overall all alerts were around ~400-600ish.  In LogicMonitor we are currently at 13000+. We need to seriously tune up the Datasources and we need a way to show our SME's what each datasource is monitoring and what it alerts on, what thresholds, etc..  Is there a way to export the Datasource's Monitoring Template to a CSV file so that we can reference that and our SME's can then say turn off, adjust etc.. I see in the reports section there is a "Alert Threshold Report" but that lists out every single datapoint instance on a group/resource and we don't want that. We need what the base DS template looks at and uses and applies to each matching resource.

Network link status dashboard

HI All, Is there any way we can create a network links dashboard(WAN or internet links) in Logic monitor. Basically I am looking for a dashboard with mapping of routers(with shapes) and links(lines) and need to assign the particular datapoint to it so that we can color code the same based on the alerts recieving. I have not seen any option in LM to include our own graphic template and assign datapoints or the background images to upload and assign datapoints to it.
