Ability to exclude a device(s)/device groups from a Dashboard widget?
Hi, I am fairly new to LogicMonitor and this is my first time using the community, so forgive me if this has already been asked/answered somewhere.. but is there a way that you can exclude specific devices/device groups from a widget within a dashboard? As an example, I don’t want our File Servers to appear on our Volume Utilization widget as each of the disks will always be operating at 90%+ utilization, so I’d like to at least have to option to exclude them as “known exceptions” if you like. I couldn’t see any logical settings within the widget itself which I could amend to configure this, and I alsoreported this to customer support team who said that there isn’t currently a global expression which could be applied to the widget in order match our requirement. Does anyone know whether I’m missing a trick here or whether this has is on the LogicMonitor roadmap for the future? Thanks in advance!256Views6likes3CommentsNetscan ##SYSTEMNAME##
If you choose to use a netscan and want to rename your devices to the system name using##SYSTEMNAME## the device must respond to SNMP first. The problem is LogicMonitor uses WMI exclusively for Windows, SNMP exclusively for most network equipment and vmware's api for hosts. So in my case I do not have SNMP configured everywhere. Now lets say you are scanning 5 full /24's and they put these devices in your portal. Now I am stuck having to go to the info tab on each one, locate the system.sysname(if present) and then click on Manage and rename the device. With 5 full /24's this a massive amount of devices to have to manually touch. Netscans have to be able to use the default method of connecting to each device and then##SYSTEMNAME## must come from that depending on the device it is trying to connect to. Making us rely on just SNMP is not feasible.33Views1like0CommentsDevice Tree - More search options
I want to be able to search on the Device Group Description by using "gd:". Similar to being able to use "g:" to search on group. Other types of searching would be helpful as well, like on custom properties.. "cpn: & cpv:" for Custom Property Name & Custom Property Value, similar to filtering in the REST API.1View1like0Comments
