The v.102 release will be rolled out through the end of March and second week of April. Several much-anticipated changes are introduced with this release, including Collector Properties and an improved Table Widget.
Table Widget
In v.99, we introduced a major improvement to the Table Widget in which you could establish a dynamic Top 10/25/all table of instances for designated datapoints with glob. In this release, we expand upon this improvement by adding the following:
Why you care: displaying the bottom X instances for a datapoint is useful for tracking resource-deficient or over-provisioned parts of your infrastructure, e.g. displaying the 10 least used CPU or IOPS across servers. Additionally, the ability to color-code datapoint values in your Table widget is useful for at-a-glance verification of your environment’s health. For example, if you want a clear indication when Server A’s CPUBusyPercent is over 90%, you would set the column to be highlighted red when its value crosses this threshold.
Collector Properties
You can now define properties on Collectors or Collector Groups for use in Collector-related alerts. Once a Collector property has been defined, it can be tokenized to customize Collector-related alert messages and/or integration delivery. These tokens are substituted with the property value at the time of generation so that the alert or integration delivery can include dynamic information.
Why you care: in addition to providing more context for Collector-related alerts, this feature is particularly useful for routing Collector down alerts to the proper team or customer via integrations.
SAML Security Enhancement – SHA-256
To ensure alignment with current best practice, we are updating our SAML Service Provider framework to accept the SHA-2 family of hashing algorithms. Existing SAML Identity Providers configured to use SHA-1 hashing will not be impacted. Note: This change will be deployed to all customers during LogicMonitor’s regularly scheduled maintenance window on April 12th, 2018.
