Move many devices into new group in one pass
Is there a way to move a huge number of devices into a new group in one shot? I did an NetScan CSV import and specified the wrong folder. Is there a way to now move all these into the correct group w/o having to delete then re-import again?91Views0likes4Comments
Pick one from multiple snmp community strings
If you have multiple snmp community strings within your environment but they're not consistent within any particular subset of devices, you might want to add them as a list and have LogicMonitor decide which one works for any given device. This proof-of-conceptDataSource lets you do that. You'll need an API user within your LogicMonitor account, and that user will need rights to manage all devices (or at least, all that you may need to apply this method to). For that user you'll need to create an API token ID/Key pair; these values should be set at in your device tree as the values of propertiesapiaccessid.key andapiaccesskey.key - ideally at the root level but certainly, again, to apply to any device you want the DataSource to apply to. You'll also need to create a third device property, snmp.communities.pass, whose value should be a comma separated list of your possible community strings, with no extraneous space - e.g. communityString1,snmpStringForMonitoring,m0n1t0r1n6,communityRO. This value can be set globally and/or at subgroup levels as appropriate. Be aware that each incorrect community string will add a few seconds to the script execution time, as each one has to time out, so large lists and high-frequency polling intervals could cause problems. Be sensible, and limit the content of snmp.communities.pass to only the values that will exist within the groups it's being set for. This DataSource will apply to any device that has or inheritssnmp.communities.pass, and *either* has no system.sysinfo *or* is known to be an SNMP device. This means the script will test the various community strings against any device that is as yet not identified, or has previously responded to SNMP (but possibly no longer is). The script will attempt to get SNMP data from the Interfaces table of the device, as the vast majority of SNMP devices reveal this data. If the configured snmp.community value works, no action is taken. Ifsnmp.community doesn't work, but exactly one of the other options insnmp.communities.pass does, then the API is called and the 'correct' community string is added to the Device. The DataSource will run this check every 5 minutes (which can of course be altered) such that any changes to the SNMP community string of the actual device can be caught and the Device in LogicMonitor updated, provided the new community exists in the csv list you've defined. *Important:* As with any .pass, .password, .key, or snmp.community property, the value shown in the UI will be obscured as eight stars or blobs. You *cannot* simply add further text to the existing stored string; if you need to add another value to the csv list you will have to replace the whole list. E.g. If you store 'communityString1,snmpStringForMonitoring' insnmp.communities.pass, then want to addm0n1t0r1n6 andcommunityRO later, you cannot simply edit the field and paste ',m0n1t0r1n6,communityRO' onto the blobs - that would save as '********,m0n1t0r1n6,communityRO'. You'd have to delete the blobs and paste in 'communityString1,snmpStringForMonitoring,m0n1t0r1n6,communityRO' (without the quotes). *More Important:* Note that by adding theapiaccessid.key andapiaccesskey.key properties into your account, other DataSources could equally make use of their rights. Clearly, you will already have limited access into the Settings area of LogicMonitor such that only trusted users can create or modify LogicModules, or access the Collectors, using LogicMonitor's RBAC abilities. v1.0.0:GWHLED56Views0likes2Comments
Widget that allows multiple customer services (ping)
Hi, I was wondering if a feature could be created that would allow me to monitor Response Time/Latency of multiple pingservices that I have set up. At this moment in time, I can monitor one customer per widget; I would like to monitor more customers on the same widget showing the same datapoints. For example, in the uploaded image, this is showing the response time of an IP address from all of the checkpoints (Washington, Dublin etc). I would like to monitor the response time of all the customers I have, rather than checking multiple widgets. At the moment, there is a widget called "Service Status" which lets you monitor the overall status of services. I would like the same thing to be done but only for the ping service; so that on one widget I can see the latency of each customers IP address from Dublin. (excluding the others - added ability of choosing which checkpoint to use) Hopethis makes sense; if not, I am an email away.4Views0likes0Comments
