groovy code library support
I just cannot bring myself to paste the same complex code into multiple LogicModule scripts, leaving little land mines scattered randomly. I was working today on a general template for using the API from within LogicModules using code I found scattered around different modules (we keep backups of everything, making it somewhat easy to search for those). Just a few things I noticed: * all the code is different * nothing I found so far accounts for API rate limiting * various inefficiencies exist in at least some of what I found The correct solution to all of this is to make a library feature available so we can maintain Groovy functions and such in one place, calling them from LogicModule scripts. It is very sad to see how little re-use is possible within the framework at all levels, and this one is especially bad in terms of maintenance and things breaking easily when changes are made in the API backend.7Views1like2Comments
API Call - Alert & Escalation Chain Metrics
Would it be possible to provide an API call or calls that providea 'hit count' (historical and current) against alert rules and escalation chains? Ideally it would allow a filter to be assigned for alert levels of interest. This would help in providing metrics around how many alerts are being generated, and to what areas of responsibility, and help drive additional questions around configuration and maintenance. I know there is a report to extract thresholds and their destinations, but these metrics are not available currently, it seems. Many Thanks ~Nick2Views1like0Comments
Solr Error Logs
This datasource monitors the solr logs via an http call to the web front end and parses the json response to output in aLogicMonitor-friendly format. This appears to work on all of the versions of Solr I have tested on (6.0+). *Note - I have disabled the applies-to on this datasource because it can be quite noisy if your logging hasn't been tuned on the Solr nodes. I did include some useful filters to strip out some of the more common noise - but I still recommend applying this with caution. W9PN3Y2Views1like0Comments
Create role for API only user
Problem I havea datasource that collects information from the LogicMonitor API. In order for this to work correctly I need a valid user on the LM platform with a valid API token. I can see two potential paths forward. Case 1 - Use my existing account as the datasource author with my API token. This has a big downside that if I have to leave the company for any number of reasons and my account gets disabled this datasource will stop working and is customer facing. This is probably not so good. Case 2 - Create a 'service account' inside LogicMonitor that can have its' own API token and if any one human needs to leave the company there really is not a big problem. The issue with this is that this user has a username and a password that can grant it access to the UI under all the permissions granted by the role but this account should/will never be used within the UI. This also generates a potential securityproblem because the password will most likely never be rotated because as long as the API user and token work this is simply going to sit there. Request Be able to create a new user type of 'API only' which will never have access to the UI and therefore you should not have to set any of the UI specific information for the account. This would remove the need for any of this information under that account: First/Last name/Email/Password/Force password change/2-factor/Phone/SMS/SMS Email format20Views1like3Comments
API Results for when there is "No Data"
I discovered that when making REST API callsif there is no data available for the period requested, then the output is blank as in nothing. This should be revised to No Data, or some other value to indicate. Especially when requesting data in a CSV format - there should at least be the correct number of ',' in the output to - if there are 5rows of no data in the output, it should result in ',,,,' or 'no data,no data,no data,no data,no data'as the output.0Views1like2Comments
