Scripted Alert Thresholds
It should be possible to groovyscript Alert Thresholds, based on (for example) ILPs and hostProperties. I need to modify the SNMP_Network_Interfaces to vary the InDiscardPercent threshold depending on whether this is a radioMAC interface type and whether it is a given customer. Something along the lines of: def isRadio = instanceProps.get('auto.interface.type') == 'radioMAC'; def customerCode = hostProps.get('customer.code'); if(isRadio && customerCode == 'ACME') { // No threshold return ''; } // The default return '> 10';

Running a Perl script on an AIX box over SSH?
Hi, We have an old monitoring system that we’re trying to decommission and move everything into LM. The current system connects to an AIX server using an SSH Key, and then runs a perl script that’s located in a particular folder. It then takes the output from that script and determines if there’s an alert condition to tell someone about. I need to move this same functionality into LM. I’m assuming the SSH access part shouldn’t be a big deal. I can either manually setup a username/password or I found into on putting a key in LM somewhere and using that. Once LM can connect to the server, can it launch a script file that’s located on the server? I’m not sure if I need to recreate the script inside of LM, or if it can just tell the server to execute the script it already has. If the script runs remotely, can LM then parse the returned data to determine if something is an error or not? If anyone has any tutorials or anything on how I can start working on this, let me know. I don’t know anything about scripting and LM and so far, don’t really know where to start. Thanks!

Creating a propertySource to populate a NOC widget in a dashboard... need ## in a string.
The NOC widget items have a field that requires me to have the string"##RESOURCEGROUP##" pushed through the JSON into the NOC Item…since I’m using a propertySource to run the script on a schedule (I have a larger VM with a collector with a longer script timeout just for doing deeper scripted work through the API or Full Domain sweep types of things that will take more time), The LM System is going to try to replace that at run time rather than returning the explicit string. Who knows the correct escape sequence for turning that into a string literal on its way into the RestApi Patch? Scripting questions through support is best effort, and I don’t usually come with easy questions.

Unable to authenticate Rest api with servicenow to get devices
Hi All, I am trying to authenticate in servicenow using script but it is not working. It is throwing an error authentication failed status 401. var ACCESS_ID = '123'; var ACCESS_KEY = 'abc'; var ACCOUNT_NAME = 'test'; var resourcePath = '/device/devices'; var epoch = (new Date()).getTime(); var id = 2; var requestVars = 'GET' + epoch + resourcePath; var HexUtil = { convertByteArrayToHex : function(byteArray) { var hex = ""; byteArray.forEach(function(byteValue) { hex += HexUtil.convertByteToHex(byteValue); }); return hex; }, convertByteToHex : function(b) { var hexChar = ["0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7","8", "9", "a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f"]; return hexChar[(b >> 4) & 0x0f] + hexChar[b & 0x0f]; } }; // Compute the HMACSHA256 hash using GlideDigest var key = "key"; key = encodeURIComponent(key); key = GlideStringUtil.base64Encode(key); var msg = "message"; msg = encodeURIComponent(msg); var mac = new GlideCertificateEncryption(); signature = mac.generateMac(requestVars, "HmacSHA256", ACCESS_ID); var bytes = GlideStringUtil.base64DecodeAsBytes(signature); var hex = HexUtil.convertByteArrayToHex(bytes); var hexB64 = GlideStringUtil.base64Encode(hex); var token = 'LMv1 ' + ACCESS_ID + ':' + signature + ':' + epoch; gs.info('Devices = ' +token); var httpRequest = new GlideHTTPRequest('https://' + ACCOUNT_NAME + '.logicmonitor.com/santaba/rest/device/devices'); httpRequest.addHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json'); httpRequest.addHeader('Authorization', token); //httpRequest.addHeader('x-server-version', '3'); var response = httpRequest.getBody(); gs.log(response); Could you please help me on this.

Ad-hoc script running
Often when an alert pops up, I find myself running some very common troubleshooting/helpful tools to quickly gather more info. It would be nice to get that info quickly and easily without having to go to other tools when an alert occurs. For example - right now, when we get a high cpu alert the first thing I do is run pslist -s \\computername (PSTools are so awesome) and psloggedon \\computername to see who's logged in at themoment. I know it's possible to create a datasource to discover all active processes, and retrieve CPU/memory/disk metrics specific to a given process, but processes on a given server might change pretty frequently so you'd have to run active discovery frequently. It just doesn't seem like the best way and most of the time I don't care what's running on the server and only need to know "in the moment." A way to run a script via a button for a given datasource would be a really cool feature. Maybe on the datasource you could add a feature to hold a "gather additional data" or meta-datascript, the script could then be invoked manually onan alert or datasource instance. IE when an alert occurs, you can click on a button in the alert called "gather additional data" or something which would run the script and produce a small box or window with the output. The ability to run periodically (every 15 seconds or 5 minutes, etc) would also be useful. This would also give a NOC the ability to troubleshoot a bit more or provide some additional context around an alert without everyone having to know a bunch of tools or have administrative access to a server.

Scripted SNMP request to different port
We have some Linux servers for which we need to use SNMP for OS monitoring, but we also need to use SNMP for some application monitoring. The applications bind to a different port, since the OS is bound to the standard SNMP port, 161. We would like to be able to use the embedded scripting, so please make it possible to specify a port with the Snmp.get() command: a = Snmp.get(host,".1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.1.3.2.3.1.2.7.108.109.45.110.102.115.100")
