v.167 Release Notes

Last updated on 27 March, 2024

Highlights

  • General Updates: LM APM enhancements, support for new AWS and GCP regions, several user interface bug fixes, and more.
  • Updated Monitoring: Added monitoring for VRRP using SNMP, Zoom service status, Azure NetApp integration, and more.

General Updates

LM APM

Enhancements

  • LM Synthetics is now fully available. For more information, see LM Synthetics Overview.
  • Version 1.0.05 of LogicMonitor’s OpenTelemetry Collector is now available. Enhancements to the OpenTelemetry Collector include:
    • Validated external config in container image via santaba API.
    • Added support for OTEL Collector image on AKS – containerd runtime. If LM OTEL is running in a containerized environment, two new properties with key and value isContainer=true and containerRuntime=containerd are added. The “Docker=true” property has been removed.
    • Removed the system.ips property from the OTEL device properties.
    • Added support for Azure Container Instances for LM OTEL.
    • Removed the otelcol_process_runtime_total_alloc_bytes DataSource.
    • Added support for ARM64 architecture in LM OTEL container image.
  • You can now limit the number of results returned in your Advanced Filter on the Traces page.
  • The Traces Graph now displays your trace data (spans and errors) ingested over time. You can switch between “Latency” and “Time Series” on the Traces Page, and the graph updates accordingly. For more information, see Traces Page.
  • You can now create an Advanced Filter for the span-kind attribute for your trace data.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue that prevented navigation to a corresponding trace from an APM-based alert.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented filters from persisting when switching between Basic and Advanced Filtering.

Container Monitoring

Enhancements

  • Resource tree organization by namespace is now enabled by default.
  • Alerts can now be configured for each namespace. You can also fine-tune alert suppression by configuring the “disableResource Alerting” helm chart value.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue that caused linear growth in CPU consumption by Argus.
  • Fixed an issue that led to nodes incorrectly getting added and removed from monitoring.
  • Fixed an issue that led to the collector pods crashing when a large number of deployments were detected.

LM Cloud

Enhancements

  • You can now view resources created for SaaS and SaaS lite monitoring from the Account Information page. You may find this useful for understanding how many SaaS resources you have in LogicMonitor and comparing that to how many you purchased.
  • Added support for the ap-southeast-3 AWS region.
  • Added support for the europe-central2 and europe-west6 GCP regions.
  • Device properties now display which type of message queue (Active MQ or RabbitMQ) discovered queues are, if applicable.

Topology

Enhancements

  • The Topology page now displays a tooltip with the node name if the name is too long to fully display on the screen.
  • The Pin and Unpin buttons are now available from the Detail pane.
  • Hierarchical and Radial topology layouts are now disabled for maps with over 5000 nodes displayed.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue that caused some nodes to occasionally disappear when unpinned.

LM Logs

Enhancements

  • You can now use the Actions menu options to filter log metadata.

User Interface

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue that occasionally prevented users from accessing the Alerts page.

NetFlow

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue that prevented traffic interface filters from updating after a device filter had changed on the group-level Traffic tab.

LM Collector

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue that caused log file EventSources to fail to alert.
