Tripp Lite UPS monitoring
Hello, I was wondering, what would be the best way to monitor a Tripp Lite UPS? LM has OOB stuff for APC, Liebert, etc, but not Tripp Lite. I was in one of the LM webinars not too long ago that showed off utilizing OID’s. It doesn’t look like that one was published (yet anyways). I noticed that LM does have some OOB datasources for Eaton. Perhaps cloning them and tweaking the OID’s could potentially work? https://assets.tripplite.com/flyer/supported-snmp-oids-technical-application-bulletin-en.pdf Thanks, ZachSolved411Views16likes5CommentsUsing a Dedicated Collector for each Windows Domain Controller?
We ran into trouble monitoring our Windows Domain Controllers because we want to use least privilege and we were only receiving ping and Host Status data. It showed “No data” for CPU, disks, etc. We used the information in the link “https://www.logicmonitor.com/support/monitoring/os-virtualization/monitoring-a-domain-controller-dc” and installed the collector on a DC using the local system account and set it to monitor itself. I am now receiving CPU, disk, etc. from that domain controller. It appears the only catch is that I cannot monitor other systems with that collector but that is OK for our situation. Are there others out there that are monitoring DCs using this method and if so, have you run into any trouble (performance, etc.)? If you are not using this method, how are you monitoring your DCs in Logic Monitor. THANK YOU very much for your assistance/opinions/guidance.Solved338Views14likes3CommentsMeraki monitoring within Logic Monitor
Hi all, I am attempting to monitor a Meraki MX appliance from LM, I have setup the API but can only see connected clients and connected status.. Is there a way to monitor the up/down status or packet loss of an MX device through LM? Thank youSolved600Views13likes3CommentsMonitoring Ec2 instances
Hi All, I have been going through the documentation and it suggests that when we are setting up monitoring for ec2 with autoscaling we should select netscan frequency of 10 minutes. This is the minimum time we can configure and new device may take upto 15 minutes to be monitored. My question is is there a way if a new instance is launched we can bring that into monitoring less than 10 or 5 minutes.88Views7likes1CommentUNC Path ability to impersonate specific user
Hello, As an MSP we've the need to monitor a lot of directories/shares for the same client. Some of those shares are accessible with the collector user, however, we've some clients that restrict their share to specific users (not the ones running the collector service). I've tried to create a datasource that's a simple runas where we can pass the user/passwd as a parameter, however, that isn't possible to run from the collector level (confirmed by LM staff in a case that I've raised). Can this be implemented? This feature would be very important (since we monitor +100 clients).36Views4likes4CommentsAbility to group interface instances?
Hello, As an MSP we've the need to group multiple interface instances (from different devices & different clients as well) in order to set common thresholds, reports, etc... From my research that isn't possible within LM. Anyone able to do that? This would be very useful from the monitoring/management perspective. Regards,32Views4likes2CommentsAbility to group interface instances
Hello, We would like to have the possibility of group interface instance(s) [from different devices/clients]. As an MSP we have the need of creating common thresholds for certain types of interfaces we want to group, reports, dashboards, etc... Within LM we aren't able to group instances from multiple devices/clients. Can this be implemented? Regards,14Views3likes1CommentDEVIATION FROM ROLLING AVERAGE
I see a need in the design to alert on deviation from rolling average: example 1: Temperature in hardware is based on fixed baseline (default or manual adjusted) or based on fixed Delta. In real world application it would Make a LOT more sense to alert on Deviation from a 5 day or 30 day rolling average Temp of the box. Reason is, units alarm on the weekends because the office shuts off the AC during the summer. or they alert During the week 9-5 because in the winter the offices crank the heat. All of these ignore nuance of RANGE and Average expectation for the location...The alerting should just be how FAR outside the average Range for the site is. My Nashville facility hovers from 56 to 59 all week. I have it set on 57 so I get alerts at least once a weekend. I could move it to 59...but that's a band-aid. The REAL solution would be to have the software TRACK the last 30 days, and alert when we're outside the NORM for that location. furthermore....with hardware it is not the specific temps that kill the hardware....its the RATE at which the temp changes. so, the alerts SHOULD be based on the average range the system has seen in the last 30 days, and alert ONLY when the rate of change accelerates...but I imagine THAT request would be more challenging to reduce to an algorithm. Example 2: PING times.....I have sites where the Latency range is EXTREME (Mumbai, Johannesburg, Taipei etc...) I'd wished the PING would track the 30 day range and common deviation from norm and alert when the sites see latency that is way outside the expected fluctuation range. 30ms typical 90% of the time + 200-500ms spikes 10% of the time. when Ping times hit 300 ms for more then 10% of the last hour of sampling....then notify warning to inform of change in TREND....not fixed threshold in immediate sample24Views3likes1CommentCustom Property to DISABLE monitoring on Group and its children
Is there a custom property in the INFO tab on a Group that we can specify that will STOP all monitoring on that groups and its sub group(s)? If not can there be one added like DISABLE_MONITOIRNG=true I'm asking b/c the situation came up where due to licensing we have to PAUSE the monitoring of AWS instances. I don't want to delete these profiles since they are already setup and configured. Just want to PAUSE or Disable the monitoring till the clients are fully on-boarded into the platform.11Views1like1Comment
