Easier way of disabling Property Sources for device(s)
It would be nice to have a easier way to disable/manageProperty Sources (just like we have for DataSources - at a group level, devicelevel, etc...). I know we can disable those in the 'AppliesTo' field (at the PropertySource level) and/or we can createa custom property (& then having devices automatically assigned to a dynamic group by using that property, etc...). However, we shouldn't require to create extra properties and/or modify the 'AppliesTo' with extra stuff. It would be way easier having the possibility to do this like we do for the DataSources (even in terms of management, understanding what's applied vs. what isn't). Not sure if this was suggested in the past but, it would be a great improvement in my opinion. Regards,

Using PropertySources for Reporting
PropertySources are one of the recent additions to LogicModules, they were introduced in v.83 (https://www.logicmonitor.com/release-notes/v-83-scriptable-properties-dashboards-report-two-factor-authentication/). They are a very powerful feature and you can use them for many other purposes other than just showing a Cisco Serial Number which is a common use case for this feature. I am going to focus this post on using PropertySources to improve a Device Inventory Report. For example, you have hundreds or thousands of SNMP devices being monitored and you want to know if any of the devices are having an issue collecting data through SNMP. It is not a viable solution to go through the device one by one and check if LogicMonitor collects data from them. Fortunately, there is an easy way on how to get this information using Device Inventory Report and PropertySources. The idea is to create a property source that can add a host property to a device if SNMP is not working, then we can create a device inventory report to show this property. Here is a sample of PropertySource that go through all SNMP devices and adds a host property called auto.snmp.working=no if SNMP is not working on a device. // import the logicmonitor snmp helper class import com.santaba.agent.groovyapi.snmp.Snmp; // getthesnmp host from the device properties def host = hostProps.get('system.hostname'); // retrieve the value for the specified OID try { oid_value = Snmp.get(host, ".1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0"); println "snmp.working=yes" } catch (Exception ex) { println "snmp.working=no"; } return (0); Then we can easily create a Device Inventory Reports and add this specific host property.Here is how the report looks like Another use case would be to build a device inventory report that shows a piece of basic information,such as the number of CPU cores or system memory of a Windows server. Some information such assystem.totalmemory is available by default, so we should be able to pull this information directly from the devices. To get a number of CPU cores on a Windows server,here is a sample property source that pulls that information. You can easily add other information such as total memory or even processor type and so on. // This script counts the total number of processor cores across all processors on a device import com.santaba.agent.groovyapi.win32.WMI; def hostname = hostProps.get("system.hostname"); try { def wmiResponse = WMI.queryAll(hostname, "select NUMBEROFCORES from Win32_Processor"); def totalcores = 0; wmiResponse.each { corecount -> totalcores += (corecount.get('NUMBEROFCORES')).toInteger(); } println "Windows_CPUcorecount=" + totalcores; } // Catch any exceptions that may have occurred catch (Exception e) { //print exception out and return non- zero println e; return 1; } //Exit by returning zero return 0; Here is a sample of Device Inventory report with the PropertySources added. This is just of one of the things that you can do using PropertySources. You can also use PropertySources as applies to fieldin Datasourcesor even Alert Rules.

Retaining attributes while updating LogicModules
Can I also make a feature request to retain the custom thresholds / attributes (user optional, probably by means of a toggle button to choose between overwrite or leave as is ) while updating LogicModules? I did notice related requests from the past and it seems that it is not yet released. /topic/1282-maintain-thresholdsappliesto-when-updating-during-datasource-updates//topic/1180-import-datasource-from-logic-monitor-repository-improvments/
