When Will My Module Toolbox Work Properly?
So we recently received a banner in one of our portals stating that in a future release the LogicModules section will no longer be available. This concerns us greatly as I noticed something after I just had a new portal spun up. I logged in, went to the Modules section in the new UI and told it to show me all of our outdated items. Nothing shows up. I then went into the Exchange, told it to show me all of the Installed and Update Available. Nothing shows. I also checked for anything Official that isn’t installed, and nothing shows up. So I naturally go the legacy route, load up DataSources, and tell it to look at the repository. Lo and behold, I have 85 DataSources. Some are new, some are updated. We were told at one point that the Modules/Toolbox/Exchange area look at a different repository, so we gave the benefit of the doubt and checked one of the new modules and an updated module, and both were 3 months old and not showing up in the new UI. Stu brought up some concerns as well in Updates to modules showing in repo but not modules toolbox | Community (logicmonitor.com), but I didn’t want to necro post with a slightly different issue.
SSL_Certificates DS v1.7 discovery issues
I pulled this version of the DS into my sandbox and tested on a few devices. The discovery task fails catastrophically. Can anyone else confirm? At any rate, be careful when LM changes something so fundamental as the discovery script is such a radical way. I’m in favor of the change (pulling props from the certificate instead of generic labels), but sometimes bad updates get published.
Module Update Differences Report
I mentioned on the webinar today that I’d post an example output from my diff script. I’m not going to attach it here, so I’ll link to it instead. It’s an HTML page and it’s an older version of the script output, but opening it in your browser (use incognito if you’re worried) will show the list of modules whether they’re UpdatedNotInUse, UpdatedInUse, or New. Clicking on the blocks under a module (red=there’s a difference, green=there’s no difference) will show the existing vs. new versions. To generate this report, all I need is a RO set of credentials with view access to modules (I think). I use this as my checklist of updates to address. I have the history and existing definition on there (Old JSON) because I like to know if my version is out of date because LM changed an LM setting or if they changed something I had customized. And the old JSON is on there in case I need to revert (which I haven’t had to yet).
