Automation

LM Envision excels at event-driven automation.

• Sensors always listen for alerts within the platform, which comes with useful rules out-of-the-box such as “is a collector down?”
• Additional rules are easy to build and customize.
• Rules can trigger actions that go beyond smart alerting, such as adding or removing devices.

For example, let’s say LM Envision alerts you that a server is using an unusual amount of memory and running low on resources. With automation, that alert would trigger a rule which would in turn perform an action. In this case: running a diagnostic script, rebooting the server, and logging the instance to provide historical data on any future related issues.

As you build and scale your infrastructure, why wait to manually start monitoring it? Whether you deploy infrastructure as code or physically set up servers in your data center, process automation makes setting up the tasks to start monitoring your new infrastructure (or anything in your tech stack) a snap.

In practice, let’s say you’re adding an AWS instance to monitor. To do this manually, you would go to the LM Exchange, select AWS, fill out some details, assign a parent group, get the IDs, create a policy, and choose what services you want to use.

This process is simple and quick to do once, but many enterprises and MSPs need to do this much more often. Setting up an automation task means all of these steps are completed instantly anytime they are needed.

LM Envision can help automate a significant amount of the onboarding process, so you can get ramped up quicker than ever.

Let’s say you’re an MSP. Going through the same 30+ step process to onboard a new client, build out their personal virtual machine instance, spin up a dedicated Azure environment, and set up RBAC tools to help monitor their devices can be a chore.

LM Envision accommodates automation that sets up whole environments for new clients. With this automation toolset, you can save hours manually going through these processes, allowing you more time to customize and innovate.

Using templates from datasources, LogicMonitor can apply manufacturer and industry standards/best practices on what to monitor and their upper and lower thresholds, so you can spend less time in the configuration stage.
