New UI Impact Series - LM Exchange Improvements
In the new UI, we have made some LM Exchange Improvements to streamline the process of customizing and managing LogicModules. These improvements give users more efficient workflows and control over their monitoring environment. One new feature is a new and improved diff viewer, which provides a clear, side-by-side comparison of customized and published LogicModule versions. The diff viewer allows users to quickly identify and understand changes between different iterations of a module. Additionally, an interactive Integrated Development Environment (IDE) has been implemented to help with the build of complex AppliesTo expressions, simplifying what was once a challenging aspect of module customization. LM Exchange now offers preservation capabilities for AppliesTo and Alert Thresholds fields. This functionality enables users to retain their customizations while importing updates to LogicMonitor-authored modules, ensuring that personalized configurations are not lost during the update process with a simple toggle. Let's get into what all this means for you. By reducing the manual effort required in LogicModule management, these features allow IT professionals to allocate more time to critical monitoring and system maintenance tasks. The improved diff viewer and IDE contribute to a more intuitive customization process, potentially reducing errors and improving the overall quality of module modifications. The ability to preserve custom settings during updates addresses a long-standing challenge in balancing the need for the latest features with maintaining environment-specific configurations. Once you combine all of these, the improvements represent a significant step forward in LogicMonitor's commitment to providing a robust, user-friendly platform.

LogicMonitor continues to roll out more enhancements to the Module Toolbox to make viewing, updating, installing, and managing LogicModules easier than before. In release v186, it is now possible to preserve alert thresholds when updating modules to newer versions. This enhancement adds to the current ability to preserve Active Discovery filters, AppliesTo, Collection Interval, Discovery Interval, Display Name, and Group during module updates. These preservation options provide the benefit of our LogicModule team’s enhancements and fixes combined with your environment-specific customizations. To preserve your module’s alert thresholds when updating via the module Exchange, use the toggle on the right pane of the “Final Review” update window. Once you finish the module update, your alert thresholds will remain. Happy updating! Support article reference: https://www.logicmonitor.com/support/modules-management71Views9likes2Comments
