Webhook Event Collection & Cisco Meraki
As a Cisco Meraki Strategic Technology Partner, we are always looking for ways to make our integration the best that it can be, so you can get the most out of your investments with Cisco and LogicMonitor. So, today we kicked off R&D planning for [safe harbor statement] the ability to collect webhook events from Cisco Meraki with the following objectives. Mitigate Cisco Meraki Dashboard API rate limiting. Enable [near] real-time alerts for things like camera motion, IoT sensor measurement threshold breach (or automation button press), power supply failure... Facilite sending webhook events from Cisco Meraki to LogicMonitor I have the following assumptions. Customers want to be alerted on most, but not all webhook events. Customers want to have multiple inbound webhook configurations, i.e. for different tenants/customers or different Cisco Meraki organizations. Cisco Meraki is the first but not the only platform that customers will want to use to send webhook events to LogicMonitor. If you had a magic wand and could make such an integration do exactly what you wanted, what would be your number one ask? Thank you!
Getting started with Log analysis - useful queries
We at LogicMonitor want to make taking control of your log data easy for analysis, troubleshooting, and identifying trends. In this post, we will share a few helpful queries to get started with LM Logs - what devices are generating log data and easy ways to track overall usage. In future posts, we’ll share queries to dive deeper into specific log data types. What type of queries do you want to see? Reply to this post with areas of log analysis or best practices you want.

Check out this blog post highlighting recent improvements and customer stories: A lookback at LM Logs NOTE: Some assumptions for these queries: Each queries results are bound to the time picker value, adjust according to your needs * is a wildcard value meaning ALL which can be replaced by a Resource, Resource Group, Sub-Group, Device by Type or Meta Data value You may need to modify specific queries to match your LM portal Devices Sending Logs - use this query to easily see which LM monitored devices are currently ingesting log data into your portal * | count by _resource.name | sort by _count desc Total Number of Devices Sending Logs - the previous query showed which devices are generated logs, while this query identifies the overall number of devices * | count by _resource.name | count Total Volume by Resource Name - this query shows the total volume of log ingestion (as GB) by resource name, with the average, min, max size per message. The results are sorted by GB descending but you can modify the operators to identify your own trends. * | count(_size), sum(_size), max(_size), min(_size) by _resource.name | num(_sum/1000000000) as GB | num(_sum/_count) as avg_size | sort by GB desc Total Log Usage - This is a helpful query to run to see your overall log usage for the entire portal * | sum(_size) | num(_sum/1000000000) as GB | sort by GB desc And finally, Daily Usage in Buckets - run this query to see an aggregated view of your daily log usage * | beta:bucket(span=24h) | sum (_size) as size_in_bytes by_bucket | num(size_in_bytes/1000000000) as GB | sort by _bucket asc We hope these help you get started!
Any way to display LM Logs query results in Dashboard?
Not sure if I am overlooking something…. is it possible to put LM Logs query table showing the results of said query into a Dashboard? The purpose of that would be to have the query updated with the latest results every x minutes. I've tried Text widget and HTTP widget and embedded the URL for log query but that's not working.
