Can I set a different threshold for C drive from D or E drive space?
Hi, Our Windows servers have the standard alerting based on Volume Capacity. When Used Percent gets to 90%, we get a warning, 95% error, etc. How could we change this so that the C drive uses a different set of thresholds than the D drive? Can we do that within the basic DataSource or would we have to have one DataSource that just checks C and one that just checks D? I don’t want to clutter everything up, but if this is easy to do, it would come in handy. Thanks.

New Alert Threshold Options In Portal 200
We were reading through the new alert threshold options coming up and we are very excited. This will solve a ton of our problems and allow us to be more agile for our clients. Being able to control alert interval at various levels now and controlling no data is awesome! 1 issue tho. The continued bad design around UI v4.I use 4k monitors at 100%. Why in the world is the threshold adjustment so tiny and hard to work with? Now truthfully I don’t always go around maximizing my browser windows, but still. This feels like so much wasted space.

Any way to only generate alerts during business hours?
Hi, We have a Datasource that runs a script to check the status of a Job. That Job only runs during business hours (e.g. 8-5 M-F). We need a way to not have it check after hours. Option 1 was to set a recurring SDT. This would stop the notifications, but the checks would still show as alerts in the UI so we don’t want that. Option 2 was to set Time-based thresholds within the Datasource. However, that doesn’t let you specify Days of the Week anywhere so that also won’t work. Anyone have any other ideas on how we can configure this to only check and alert during business hours? Thanks.

Ideas to maintain thresholds across thousands of devices and even more instances.
I have an ask to standardize some thresholds based on device type. We break out folders out like so: Clients/CLIENTID/Location/Techstack We then have roll up folders under each client for reporting/automation Clients/CLIENTID/ZZZ_Firewalls The ask brought to myselfand my team is to standardize thresholds based on techstack. The first one I was given is that all Firewalls should have status and X% for in/out on Interfaces. My first idea was to script it and use our automation platform to run daily or every other day to check if a threshold is set, and if not, set it. The issue there is on the initial dry run, I am at over 11 hours and maybe 40% through. This script loops through each client ZZZ_Firewalls folder, gets the interfaces, then checks if a threshold is set. If not, it sets the base threshold. I figured I would break it in half A-N and M-Z and run both concurrently. But in testing M-Z, 1 client is taking almost 10 hours, and I have another of the same size in that block. I also have 1-3 clients of similar size in A-N. Second idea was to create a dynamic group that encompasses all of the /Firewalls/ devices and set the threshold on that folder. But I was leery of that as we could end up with oddities on deepest folder wins. We also cannot simply edit the datasource as this datasource applies to much more than just Firewalls. Any ideas would be appreciated.

6 polls, 5 poll cycles, or 12 minutes
Alright, take a look at this. The poll rate for this DS is 2 minutes. What is the trigger window? Assume all the criteria is met starting a 1:59PM and 30 seconds (between polls). When will the alert be triggered? It’s actually 10 minutes (2:10 PM, +/- a couple seconds for collector task queue delay and assuming original scheduling at the top of the hour). Do you know why?Why does it say 12 minutes? Why not 10? Is this behavior different than regular alert trigger intervals?

Windows Drive Space Alerts
Windows Drive Space Alerts By default, LogicMonitor alerts on the percentage used on any drive. This in general is fine, but sometimes not. Let’s imagine you have a 2.2 terabytes drive. You might have your critical threshold set at 90%, which sounds fine, until you realise that you are going to get a critical alert when you still have 220 GB free. In my case that would be a cause for some celebration, not really an urgent need to get up at 3 A.M. and delete files so the world doesn’t end. Now Imagine your 2.2TB drive is divided up as: C: 10 GB (OS) D: 500 GB (Mission critical applications) E: 1 TB (Backups) F: 510 GB (Other Applications) A 90% alert will give you a critical at 1GB,50GB,100GB and 51GB respectively. Now the C: drive may be a cause for concern, but the others not so much. The two application drives you might only be concerned if they have less than 4GB free and the backup less than 10GB. So, we decide to alert on the following C: freespace is <1 GB D: freespace is <4 GB E: freespace is <10 GB F: freespace is <4 GB You could clone the datasource so you have four copies one for each drive but this is harder to maintain in the future and does not scale well. It would be better if you could somehow get the drive letter and assign a threshold based on that. Logicmonitor’s scripted complex datapoint using groovy to the rescue. The disks datasource queries the class Win32_Volume. We need to use the raw drive letter output from the WMI class so would write a groovy script like: Drive=output["DRIVELETTER"]; return(Drive); This returns C:,D:,E: and F: Not much use as Logicmonitor doesn’t deal with text, only metrics. Let’s beef up the script. drive = output['DRIVELETTER']; freeSpaceLowerLimitGigabyte = '0'; if (drive == 'C:') {freeSpaceLowerLimitGigabyte = '1';} if (drive == 'D:' || drive == 'F:') {freeSpaceLowerLimitGigabyte = '4';} if (drive == 'E:') {freeSpaceLowerLimitGigabyte = '10';} return freeSpaceLowerLimitGigabyte; This returns 1,4,10 and 4 for each drive, now we have a complex datapoint that returns the lowerlimit in GB for each drive dependant on the drive letter. Again, we can’t alert on this so we need another datapoint So we can use this to check if freespace is less than the freeSpaceLowerLimitGigabyte. To do that create a CapacityAlert datapoint using this expression if ( lt (FreeSpace, FreeSpaceLowerLimitGigabyte * 1024000000) , 1, 0) Which breaks down as if freespace is less than the assigned limit for that drive letter then return 1 (which you alert on.) Otherwise return 0. Alert threshold set at = 1 1 1, and we get critical alerts if: C: freespace is <1 GB D: freespace is <4 GB E: freespace is <10 GB F: freespace is <4 GB

Changes to the Big Number widget (more flexibility, this is a dashboard!)
A recent change to the Big Number widget has decreased formatting flexibility . It used to be that you could set thresholds to change colors if the number is between certain values and your "All other times" (else) condition could be any color you wanted to match the style of your dashboard. This allowed the flexibility to integrate the Big Number into your existing creative style with the added benefit of "POP" it falls below or between a certain lower threshold. For example, a red or orange number if server uptime is <=5 days, but grey or white text when that condition isn't met. After this recent change, anytime threshold isn't met the number is forced to be a "mild green" color which does NOT integrate well with most of the available Widget Appearance color schemas. Yes you can turn off thresholds and choose any number color you want, but you lose valuable attention-drawing functionality (which I would say is the point of this widget). In general, this really fouls up the asthetics of my client-facing dashboards. Have a look for yourself (attached). Please restore the flexibility (that we had previously) to change the Big Number "All other times" condition to something other than green. I'd suggest using the same color palat you get with the "Text" widget. This allows more visually flexible dashboarding and lets face it, dashboards are meant to be asthetically pleasing. Versatility of color goes a long way in achieving this. I've got a ticket open (99920) related to this suggestion, I encourage others to post comments (agree/disagree) here. Thanks everyone!

Instance Thresholds based on day
Current time based instance thresholds allow me to set thresholds based on time only. But what if I have diff set of instance thresholds for weekends. In current set up I can not do that. My use case is I have diff set of instance thresholds e.g. PVS device count weekday morning vs weekend morning & similarly PVS device count weekday evening vs weekend evening.Raising feature request to add feature where one can set diff set of thresholds based on weekday vs weekend.
