The session delivered live demos, customer-driven discussions, and expert insights into how LogicMonitor can dynamically model your business services, link application layers, and accelerate root cause analysis. Attendees walked away ready to bring clarity and efficiency to their service monitoring strategy. Key Highlights ⭐ Dynamic Service Insights in Action: See how DSI automatically builds services from custom properties, saving time and ensuring continuous accuracy. ⭐ End-to-End Service Modeling: Discover how to link technologies like F5, web servers, app tiers, and databases for true end-to-end visibility. ⭐ Contextual Alerting & Visualization: Learn how aggregated, service-level alerts minimize noise while improving MTTR. ⭐ ITSM Alignment: DSI supports immutable IDs and friendly names, making it easy to sync with your ITSM workflows. ⭐ Community Excitement: Customers shared real-world use cases and early wins, from reducing manual setup to improving collaboration across teams. Q&A Q: How does DSI reduce complexity in service setup? A: DSI dynamically builds and updates services based on defined properties. There is no need for manual service configuration as your environment changes. Q: Can I model complete end-to-end services (for example, F5 → web → app → database)? A: Yes. You can create linked service definitions that connect all these components for full-stack visibility. Best practices include defining relationships at each layer using consistent naming conventions and grouping resources under business-critical services for faster troubleshooting. Q: How can Dynamic Service Insights help correlate low MOS call scores with specific network devices causing jitter, latency, or packet loss? Can this mapping be automated? A: DSI enables correlation across network and application layers by mapping related metrics to shared service properties. This allows you to associate low-quality voice or collaboration data (such as MOS scores) with the underlying network devices introducing packet loss or latency, providing actionable insights and automated context. Q: Can alerts roll up to the service level instead of flooding my inbox with device alerts? A: Yes. DSI surfaces a single contextual alert that aggregates underlying data, giving you clarity and less noise. Q: How can I align LogicMonitor services with my ITSM system? A: Use immutable service IDs alongside friendly names. They can coexist to improve reporting and maintain ITSM alignment. Customer Call-outs ⭐ “OMG I am jumping up and down with joy right now!” ⭐ “This really helps with complexity. We can finally create services dynamically!” ⭐ “We’d love to join the Services Beta and integrate this with our dashboards.” ⭐ “Great job, team.

Overview This month’s Product Power Hour focused on Cloud Monitoring with Kubernetes and Containers, emphasizing simplified observability across containerized environments. The session demonstrated how LogicMonitor makes monitoring clusters, pods, and workloads easier without overwhelming teams with noise. Through demos, best practices, and customer discussions, attendees gained practical insights into deploying and managing monitoring at scale with AKS, EKS, and beyond. Key Highlights ⭐ Seamless Enablement: Existing PaaS customers can activate Kubernetes monitoring out of the box, while others can leverage LM’s container monitoring license for quick setup. ⭐ Deeper Visibility: Demonstrations showcased how LM provides observability across nodes, pods, and system containers—cutting through complexity without flooding teams with alerts. ⭐ Retention & History: The session clarified how historical K8s data is retained and how teams can use that data for trend analysis and capacity planning. ⭐ Best Practices: Real-world examples illustrated how to configure thresholds effectively to avoid alert fatigue, especially in sandbox or test clusters. Q&A Q: How can we enable this Kubernetes for existing customers? A: “For an existing PaaS customer you just configure it as it is included in the PaaS License — 1 PaaS license = 1 monitored pod (existing cloud licensing model). For AKS or EKS monitoring you just configure it in your cloud configuration (check the box). For a non-PaaS customer you need to add the LM Container Monitoring license (old license model).” Q: I am new to K8s — how do I monitor the critical components of the platform when there are so many system containers? A: “Focus on the system containers and use the out-of-the-box DataSources as a starting point, then tune thresholds to reduce noise.” Q: What will be the retention period of history data of K8s monitors? A: “Retention is handled according to LogicMonitor’s standard data retention policies, so you can view history for trending and analysis just like other monitored resources.” What’s Next 💻Level Up Your IT Universe: Next LogicMonitor Innovations Unveiled Webinar On September 24, discover the latest Edwin AI and LM Envision capabilities, including noise-cutting AI agents, Dynamic Service Insights, and expanded multi-cloud monitoring, designed to move IT from reactive to resilient. ➡️Register here to save your spot! 🪵 Logs for Lunch October 8: Logs Overages & Reducing MTTR with Cloud Logs ⚡ Next Product Power Hour October 29: App Visibility for ITOps Want to check out previous Product Power Hours?
