Can LM check for Windows Updates?
Hi, I was asked if there's any way that people can look at something to see if all our machines are up to date with Windows Updates. I thought maybe LM could see that information and could report a simple 1/0 (yes/no) if each machine had a certain KB# installed or had the proper Windows Version. One thought was that I could provide the application KB#### for each OS's Cumulative Update each month and LM could somehow check and see if each machine had it installed or not. The other thought was I could provide the latest Windows Versions (e.g. 17763.6189) each month and LM could check and see if each machine had the matching number or not. I don't know if either of these is possible, but thought I'd check and see if anyone knew of anything that might work. Thanks.24Views0likes4CommentsUsing a Dedicated Collector for each Windows Domain Controller?
We ran into trouble monitoring our Windows Domain Controllers because we want to use least privilegeand we were only receiving ping and Host Status data. It showed “No data” for CPU, disks, etc. We used the information in the link “https://www.logicmonitor.com/support/monitoring/os-virtualization/monitoring-a-domain-controller-dc” and installed the collector on a DC using the local system account and set it to monitor itself. I am now receiving CPU, disk, etc. from that domain controller. It appears the only catch is that I cannot monitor other systemswith that collector but that is OK for our situation. Are there others out there that are monitoring DCs using this method and if so, have you run into any trouble (performance, etc.)? If you are not using this method, how are you monitoring your DCs in Logic Monitor. THANK YOU very much for your assistance/opinions/guidance.Solved220Views14likes3CommentsCylance Offline Mode
We are looking to try to utilize LM and monitor whether Cylance is running in offline mode on a Windows server. Our SOC was able to determine that if it switches to offline mode (which can happen without the NIC going down), it adds a registry entry: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cylance\Desktop\VenueStatus Ideally we’d like to monitor for IF that registry item exists and when it does see it, it would send us an alert. I’m assuming this could be done through some PS scripting. But I’m not sure how to have that data interpreted into a usable data or event source in LM. Would appreciate any help you guys can offer here!146Views9likes2CommentsCylance Offline Mode Monitoring
