Drill-down/Link-to items presented in Widgets
We use dashboards religiously in Logicmonitor - I'd argue they're one of LM's greatest features. When tracking issues or trying to ascertain trends among aggregate charts, drilling down to a single object is non-intuitive. For example, I have a line chart of CPU% for a collection of web servers. All follow a general path/trend, except for an outlier. I'd like to be able to jump straight from the chart demonstrating the outlier and drill down through whatever resources tree i might have. Today, I spend valuable time sifting through many objects to get to that data. My ideal scenario would take me straight to the single-instance version of that line chart for the requested host, making it a single click for me to navigate to other elements that I might suspect are the source of or related to the issue at hand. I hope that makes sense!4Views2likes0Comments
Default setting for new alert widget columns
I noticed today that the alert widget had defaulted to having Static Threshold and Dynamic Threshold set as enabled. This messed up our dashboard column widths and layouts and we had to go through and reconfigure them. Please, please, please do not default new columns to enabled. Newthings should be disabled by default.2Views1like0CommentsWidget for ping monitoring
Hi Everyone! I'm trying to figure out how to create a widget, that will show the top ten servers that have a ping of above 100ms. I can make the standard ping widget, but I don't see a way to limit the graph to those servers that have a high ping. Do I need to use the virtual datapoint? Or, maybe I need clarification on what it means when I select top 10 on an average, or maxrtt datapoint. Thanks!33Views1like6CommentsMake NOC widget scroll vertically
When the NOC widget has more items than can be displayed we get a horizontal scroll bar. I don't how others feel about this, but I find it annoying as I can't use the mouse wheel to scroll through the widget's contents. Please add an option in the widget config to choose between vertical overflow and horizontal overflow.2Views1like0CommentsBig Number widget items as hyperlinks to datapoint instances
Please make the number items on the Big Number widget hyperlinks to the instances from which the datapoints are configured in the widget. This would save having to go into the widget config to check where the value is coming from. Our operators instinctively expect to be able to click the item and be navigated to the source of the datapoint.1View1like0CommentsChanges 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!4Views1like1Commentwidgets should have more preset sizes
I need four equal width columns that fill the entire screen. Is there a way to change the width so that they fit across the screen without the width being cut in half? It looks like there are four width presets. When populating a defaultdashboard with widgets sit would be very helpful to have more width presets. I'm using a standard graph widget.0Views1like1Comment
