LM Logs multiple capture group parsing

Ok, this is cool. I have some log data that has structured data in it (some text, then a python list of strings). I had started building out a parse statement for each member of the list, then thought I’d try just making multiple capture groups and naming multiple variables after the as fanboy. Turns out it completely works. It parses each capture group into the corresponding column with a single parse statement. I was halfway through writing out a feature request when I figured I’d give it a try only to discover that it completely works. Nice job LM Logs guys.

Python SDK - JSON

Hi All,Apologies if this is a simple question, however I cannot find any documentation that can assist.My goal here is to have severity 3 alerts in a JSON file, however I am unable to convert this list ‘alerts’ to JSON and I cannot find any documentation in the SDK v3 that could address this.# create an instance of the API classapi_instance = logicmonitor_sdk.LMApi(logicmonitor_sdk.ApiClient(configuration)) id = 138 # Integer | size = 1000 # Integer | (optional) offset = 0 # Integer | (optional) filter = f'severity:3,cleared:true,startEpoch>:{startEpoch},endEpoch<:{endEpoch}' # String | (optional)#Loop shiznitalerts = []end_found = Falsewhile not end_found: current = api_instance.get_alert_list_by_device_group_id(id, size=size, offset=offset, filter=filter).items alerts += current offset += len(current) end_found = len(current) != size#Print and encode result to json.

Using groovy script to send email (inside a DS or CS)?

We use a resource associated with a specific collector to run scripts using config sources as the mechanism. One of the scripts I am writing now posts to a “UserDisable_Warning” config source a list of users whose suspension is imminent. I would like to use the config source to also send an email to the user, but I’m worried I’m going to have to do a bunch of crazy stuff to set up things on the collector. But I’d rather not use the collector’s exchange to send email, because I dont have direct access to it (go figure) and some of the datasources I’ve seen look like a serious pain to use (Email_TransitTime, for example) as a template. I was wondering if anyone knows a simpler way to send email. When a resource has an alert with an escalation chain that contains an email, I was under the assumption that no exchange server or imap or anything else has to be set up on the collector. Or so I thought. So I’m kinda hoping there is some easy way to avoid having to set up mail stuff on a collec

Palo Alto Improvements

Here are some datasources we added to get better information on Palo Alto firewalls: Certificate Status: KFWLJ9 High Availability Detail: EMXWRR (this one includes a bunch of HA info, including HA link status, compat status and so forth.  Many auto properties for reference on the local and peer units.  All datapoints currently use the default alert templates, but I am hoping to extend that and leverage the auto properties for those messages) Support Status: 3YJJCZ License Status: DXEAP4 All use the XML API, so will require security review (no idea how long that takes).

Data for groovy script in complex datapoint

HiI have a question regarding using data in complex datapoint.Long story short - I need to use base-10 logarithm for some calculation - in complex datapoint I can use only log function so my idea is to use groovy script and then I can use Math.log10DS is using SCRIPT for discovery method and another groovy script is collecting attributes/data.I would like to use data which is displayed in Normal datapoints (##WILDVALUE##.something).Is there any smart way to process/get that data in complex datapoint groovy script ?

Monitoring Meraki WAN1 and WAN2 via API

To set the stage I basically have a Meraki MX84 and have a Primary (i.e Verizon) Circuit and Secondary (i.e. AT&T) Circuit. I want to be able to separate these and monitor them separately so that I can see when either the Primary or Secondary is down and not just the general uptime of the MX as it will still be up even if one fails. Is this possible? If so, does anyone have an Embedded PS Script or Groovy Script that is working?

Participants needed for UX and Product research

I am a UX Designer currently conducting research on the user experience of LogicMonitor in order to help the Product and the Design teams better prioritize improvements and product direction.  I was hoping that some of you might be interested in participating in my research.  I am interested in talking to anyone who interacts with LogicMonitor, from users who only occasionally use LogicMonitor to those who spend most of their day in the product. This is a quick, 30 minute interview, at your convenience, over Zoom.  I will ask you questions about the way you work, your usage of LogicMonitor, and your impressions of the product.  You will also have a chance to call out any additional problems or needs with LogicMonitor.  None of the questions are about personal or private topics.  This is not a Marketing or NPS survey, its purpose is entirely for product planning and any data collected will be kept confidential and stripped of identifying information. If you are interested, please let me

Can a website check look for multiple occurrences of a JSON item?

Hi,Normally I have a website that looks through JSON and picks out a pair like Status = Complete.  However, I now have a JSON result that includes multiple statuses in one file.  I need to be able to parse through all the occurrences of “state” and verify that all of them are either “running” or “completed”.Is there any way to do this through the LM gui?  I was told I might have to use a Groovy script, but I don’t know what that is or how it works (not a programmer).  If anyone can guide me towards a solution for this, that’d be great.Thanks!

string filters in the API (groovy)

In the past I have not had much need of filters in API, and on the rare occasion I have, it has been numeric filters. But for some reason I cannot get string filters to work at all without throwing errors, either 400 responses, or else unexpected character errors.I can do this all day and get results:    queryParams = '?offset=' + offset.toString() + '&size=1000&filter=id:1256'; But as soon as I try to make my filter a string filter, I get errors, and I’ve seen both of the following used in various LM docs online, as if they would work, but I just get unexpected string errors:    queryParams = '?offset=' + offset.toString() + '&size=1000&filter=status:active';    queryParams = '?offset=' + offset.toString() + '&size=1000&filter=status:”active”'; Basically, I’m pretty sure I’m just not passing in the string value I want for status in a correct way. I’ve literally seen LM documentation of status:active and I’ve seen other examples when they do name~”whatever” but

Transparency of TimeTicks

Hi all, Is there a way of ingesting data through a DS that can accommodate the northbound data tick?Assuming we’re talking to an element manager and the EMS has it’s own 9:00/9:05/9:10/etc timestamps, is there a DS template that will allow LM to use that existing time tick in it’s DS rather than applying the LM ‘Poll time’? Reason for the question: We may need to recover from a connection interuption/delay between EMS and LM and cant simply discard intervening data ticks Regards,ed​​​​​​

Alerts API - Size Limit

Hi Everyone, I am running into a size limit issue in my pursuit of creating a quarterly report for a customer. What I am trying to do is narrow down my filter to have any cleared alert that is a severity 4 that was closed during that quarter. My issue is two-fold. I am not sure of the syntax that would only show alerts that cleared during that quarter (I am trying to do the equivalent of ‘between’ in python IF statements) and the size limit of 1000 is limiting because I cannot get a count of cleared alerts. I couldn’t find anything regarding pagination that can be used.  I have also attempted to do the F12 then network button trick, but there is nothing that stands out there or anything that I can identify. And I have tried looking at other questions and couldn’t find anything relating this. This is my query:?size=1000&filter=severity:4,cleared:true,startEpoch>:{startEpoch}&filter=severity:4,cleared:true,endEpoch<:{endEpoch} Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

PKI Password Cache monitoring?

Hello there,I am curious if monitoring can be done for this and how it would be done. Is it possible to monitor the password cache space for a PKI server? In particular, password cache for cert enrollment on Network Device Enrollment Service. By default, cert enrollment attempts are put in the cache for an hour if it is deemed incomplete and 5 attempts are allowed to be cached. You can raise this default with the PasswordMax reg key.I figured it would be helpful to monitor this to know what the key value would need to be set to or to be proactive with solving/troubleshooting issues where the cache becomes full. Perhaps a powershell script would suffice? Thanks in advance for any tips! 😄https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/9063.active-directory-certificate-services-ad-cs-network-device-enrollment-service-ndes.aspx#Password_and_Password_Cache

Installing collector in AWS

Hi , We are trying to install a collector in AWS EC2 instance. As per recommendation we have whitelisted *.logicmonitor.com in the firewall and able to access the URL from instance. While trying to install using bootstrap its not able to download the file from CDN. However we are able to install the collector using the full package downloaded. The installation is getting completed and the services are running. However the verification from LM console is not getting successful. We can see errors in install-detail log regarding registering the collector.Whether anyone faced this kind of issue earlier and fixed? Appreciate any help on this.

Live Twitter Feeds in Text Widgets

Below is a fairly simple process to add any public facing twitter feed to widgets on a dashboard. Some use cases I hear a lot from customers is that they like to see companies twitter feeds along their own service health dashboards because sometimes social media moves faster than status pages or email updates.  This will all be done within a Text Widget. There is an option to utilize source code, we’ll be working in there. Make sure you have the frame of an HTML page set up, You can add any title you want. Tags with spaces will have sections added to them below.<html><title></title><body></body></html><script></script> The first step is to go to https://publish.twitter.com/. Put in the URL of the profile you want, ex: twitter.com/Microsoft365, and select its embedded feed. The website will give you an <a class> HTML code to copy. Put the <a class> section into the <body>. It should look like this:<html><title&gt

6 polls, 5 poll cycles, or 12 minutes

Alright, take a look at this. The poll rate for this DS is 2 minutes. What is the trigger window? Assume all the criteria is met starting a 1:59 PM and 30 seconds (between polls). When will the alert be triggered? It’s actually 10 minutes (2:10 PM, +/- a couple seconds for collector task queue delay and assuming original scheduling at the top of the hour).Do you know why? Why does it say 12 minutes? Why not 10? Is this behavior different than regular alert trigger intervals?

Big Number widget showing a date?

So I'm wanting to create a new widget that will display a static date which is pulled from a datasource that's using SNMP to get the date value. The raw value is in a format like: 20221231 I've tried setting the datasource to no post processing, and Ive got it associated to a single specific host. When I manually poll I get the value I'm looking for but when I view the Raw Data under the Resource it says no data. So I think I've done this all wrong. Anyway I'm hoping some kind stranger and point me in the right direction for creating widgets correctly :)

LM Wrapper (for the Python SDK)

LogicMonitor's Python SDK is pretty good at simplifying some of the more complicated aspects of interacting with LogicMonitor's API. To learn more about the SDK and how to use it, look here and here.To make things even simpler for myself, I created a wrapper function that creates the api_instance object using credentials stored on the local file system. Here's the documentation:Aboutlmwrapper is a Python library for simplifying interaction with the LogicMonitor API. It uses the LogicMonitor Python SDK, but takes it a step further by facilitating credentials management. All credentials are stored in a JSON file called creds.json that looks like this:{  "lmstuartweenig": {    "API_ACCESS_ID": "adelarthrosomatous",    "API_ACCESS_KEY": "zygomaticoauricularis",    "COMPANY_NAME": "lmstuartweenig"  },  "traininglab": {    "API_ACCESS_ID": "adelarthrosomatous",    "API_ACCESS_KEY": "zygomaticoauricularis",    "COMPANY_NAME": "traininglab"  }}If only one set of credentials is needed, the JSON

Datasource SDT and REST API

I’d like to write a script to accomplish what we can do in the GUI when creating a new SDT, which is to find a datasource and create a global SDT applied to it.The REST API v3 shows me that we can only create a DeviceDatasourceSDT, which seems to require the device Id of every resource where the datasource has been applied.This doesn’t make sense. It seems in order to SDT a datasource in the same way the GUI allows us to do, we must iterate through every single resource and their respective device datasources, locate ones that match the datasource I’d ilke to SDT, then SDT each of the corresponding device datasources.This is madness. Has anyone accomplished anything useful with a datasource SDT using the REST API?
