The v.101 Release will be rolled out through mid-March. Among the changes you will see are an improved Alert Thresholds Report and even more monitoring coverage for your cloud environment.

Alert Thresholds Report



The Alert Thresholds Report provides critical insight regarding when and where LogicMonitor will trigger alerts across your environment. To provide more context for these thresholds, we have added support for the following table columns:

Group

DataSource

CollectorMethod

EnableActiveDiscovery

DiscoveryMethod

DiscoverySchedule(minutes)

CollectEvery(minutes)

AlertTriggerInterval

GlobalThreshold

InstanceThreshold

InstanceAlertingDisabled

EscalationChain-Warning

EscalationChain-Error

EscalationChain-Critical

New Cloud Monitoring

We have added new DataSources for the following cloud resources:

Service Bus resources with non-premium Azure SKUs

AWS Classic ELB Service Limits



Other Improvements

Collector

Updated the language in the Collector Size dropdown to be consistent with the sizes on the Add Collector dialog

Minor changes to the Manage Collector dialog. Moved the ‘Delete’ button to the bottom left corner of the window for consistency with other dialogs

Dashboard

You can now display up to 400 items on the Map widget at a time. Please note that node animation will be disabled when there are over 100 items.

Added ability to specify a color for virtual datapoints in the Pie Chart Widget

The SLA widget can now change colors according to user-defined thresholds

Combined SDT and alert icons on the NOC Widget to preserve space

Previously, when configuring the NOC widget, the GroupBy field determined which fields were used to filter the results. For example, for GroupBy=device, only the device field would be evaluated when determining which devices to display, even if a DataSource was selected that only applies to one device. We have improved this so that all fields are considered when filtering the NOC widget, regardless of the GroupBy value

The Service SLA widget and report will use raw data to more accurately calculate SLA rather than using alert status

Devices

A maximum of 1000 graphs will be displayed for any given device dashboard. This ensures that UI performance is not compromised in cases where a DataSource has thousands of instances, each with several graphs

LM Cloud

Added a new parameter to the “AWS EC2 Reserved Instance” AD method that makes instance names configurable. Previously, this method (utilized by the ‘AWS_EC2_Reserved_Instance DataSource) named all discovered instances based on the RI offer ID. Because this ID doesn’t always provide as much meaningful information as the instance type, region, etc. for the RI offer, the new parameter allows you to utilize the following properties, among others, in the name configuration: auto.instancetype, auto.location, auto.offerid

Properties that are automatically added to cloud devices by LogicMonitor and that have a date / time value are now displayed in epoch format. This is more consistent with date / time properties automatically added to normal devices, and enables use of these properties in Applies To expressions

Improved the permission test error displayed when an invalid role is specified for a cloud account

Added AD filtering capabilities to the ‘AWS EC2 Scheduled Events’ AD method. This filtering can be based on instance level properties added for each discovered event. You may find this useful for filtering out events that have been completed, via a filter based on ‘auto.aws.status’

LogicModules

Fixed an issue in which the Auto-Detect option for EventSource logs were not showing in Chrome

In some cases, log file encoding is different from our default settings for monitoring them. We have added the ability to manually specify the encoding type (Default, Autodetect, UTF-8, or UTF-16) of log files within EventSources

PowerShell scripts are now supported in PropertySources

REST API

A REST API equivalent has been published for the RPC method ‘getGraphImage’. More info here

Published the ability to get DataSource history information programmatically

Bugs Fixed

In some cases, tags weren’t being populated correctly for Azure VMs. This has been corrected

Resolved an issue with uploading custom portal logos that resulted in malformed images
