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.0Views1like0Comments
Widget 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!7Views1like6CommentsDrill-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!0Views2likes0CommentsMake 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.0Views1like0Comments
Dashboard graph widgets - aggregate by instance name / device group name
We have several clustered devices where metrics are gathered on each node. However, the instances across each node are identical. When attempting to graph this data, this means that I would need to add a new datapoint for each instance and use a glob pattern to select the devices from which to pull those instances. This can mean that a lot of time goes into creating these graphs if there are several instances to monitor.Examples: Three Solr nodes - each servicing search requests for the same 10 collections. In order to see the total number of GET requests for each of those collections, I would need to create a graph that has 10 individual datapoints. Instead, I would like to add one datapoint and have the graph intelligently aggregateall instances that have the same name, regardless of the node. Several device groups exist under a parent group. If I want to see the average CPU utilization across each of these groups on a single graph, I would need to add a separate datapoint for each group. A potential solution could be to allow the integration of regex instead of glob patterns to allow for capture groups. Otherwise a simple checkbox for "aggregate instances by device group" and"aggregate instances by instance names" when selecting aggregatedgraph types would be extremely useful and time-saving.1View0likes0CommentsBig 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.0Views1like0Comments
widget status via API
One of the most disappointing things encountered during a system review meeting with clients is to find widgets reporting "no data" because something changed or silently stopped producing results. In many other API endpoints, I have found there is a ton of state data embedded, but widgets have really nothing other than the lastUpdated* fields. I would like to see at least a field that indicates there is no data for some or all datapoints, just like you would see in the UI. Then we could generate reports on faulty widgets and be able to remain proactive. Thanks, Mark0Views0likes0Comments
