Better Windows Event Monitoring
Hi, As much as i love the graphs and visuals that LM produces for all sorts of metrics, unfortunately a big part of our monitoring is keeping an eye on Windows Event Logs, which i have to say LM is not that good at. Adding exceptions is a pain (i now have so many i often delete them by accident when adding new ones). I have been told this is in the pipeline for the new UI several times but it has not been mentioned as yet. My first line guys check our gfi & LM dashboard every morning and i hear time again that they prefer the gfi one for looking at Event log messages. I have even caught them loading gfi on to servers that already have LM on them (costing us twice the cost). Is there anything in the pipeline for this? I know it's not a priority for you guys, but i think for a lot of customers it would be.3Views2likes0CommentsLog Streaming Feature Request
Hi, Our team recently has certain error scenarios found in multiple production sites. As of today we're monitoring specific exception (via keyword match or Regex expression) via LogicMonitor and trigger alert to be generated. This solution has few drawbacks: 1. Requires us to know ahead what're the specific exception(s) to monitor in each log file (e.g. Tomcat, ActiveMQ) 2. Requires us to download all the logs from each production site that has this issue (some of our customers requires VPN/Secure access and it's very inefficient to download these logs from each site to analyze) Our team then run a quick log streaming POC and discovered datadog is one of the vendors that provides a decent log streaming solution (to the cloud) and allow us to search & perform analytics (seehttps://www.datadoghq.com/log-management/). It'll be great if LogicMonitor can implement something similar to enable us to elasticsearch these logs in the cloud to enable faster troubleshooting analysis. Thanks & Best Regards, Horace4Views1like1Comment
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
