Feature Highlights
General Availability of MongoDB Atlas Integration
The MongoDB Atlas Integration is now generally available. This integration enables you to monitor Atlas managed databases with LogicMonitor’s cloud (API-based) integration. MongoDB Atlas database resources discovered are billed as cloud resources. For more information, see MongoDB Atlas Project Integration in Product Documentation.
LogSource Module
New module for enabling and configuring the sending of log data to LM Logs. LogSource contains details about what logs to get and where to get them, and which fields should be considered for parsing. LogSource is available for Syslog, Windows Events, Kubernetes Events, and other common log data sources. LogSource is moving to an open beta and will be available for all LM Logs customers to use. For more information see LogSource Overview in the Product Documentation.
Multiple Collector Release
To support various enhancements and bug fixes, the following Collector versions were released in May and June.
| Collector Version | Release Date |
| EA Collector 34.100 Note: This version features an Open Beta for non-privileged WinRM Windows Collector. | 1 June 2023 |
| EA Collector 33.401 | 23 May 2023 |
| GD Collector 34.000 | 17 May 2023 |
| GD Collector 33.004 | 2 May 2023 |
Topology Mapping PDF
You can now export a Topology Map to PDF format. For more information, see Exporting Map.
General Updates
Cloud Monitoring
Enhancements
- Added “Http(s) Load Balancer – Regional” to the service level in the GCP settings to avoid confusion with region filtering.
- You can now view the usage relative to the committed number for cloud resources in the Account Information.
Fixed Issues
- Fixed an issue that caused EC2 monitoring to poll regions that were not selected for monitoring.
LM Logs
Known Issues
- Duplicate Log records are inadvertently returned when queried for different relative time ranges.
Reporting
Enhancements
- You can now run an ad-hoc report without being blocked by security policies in different browsers, regardless if you have reporting authentication enabled.
Application Monitoring
Comparing Multiple Services Data
- You can now select services from the Topology widget and view impact analysis of services on the overall application under RED metrics widgets. This allows you to see the impact of an individual or multiple services on the application. For more information, see “Comparing Multiple Services Data” section in the Traces Page Overview Product Documentation.
Container Monitoring
Fixed Issues
- Fixed an issue that prevented MS Teams QoS data from being reliably collected and displayed.
Netflow
Enhancements
- You can now mass delete port, ASN, and DNS mappings. This can be accomplished using multiple model IDs and performing the mass delete of the IDs. Prior to this enhancement, you could only perform a delete of a single mapping at a time. For more information, see Deleting Mappings in Bulk in the Product Documentation.
Topology
Enhancements
- You can now edit and remove nodes in your Topology maps.
REST API
Enhancements
- The bearer token is now officially supported in the LogicMonitor REST API V3. As a result, you can now access the Bearer Token information in Settings (Settings > Users & Roles > API Tokens tab > Bearer tab) regardless of your LogicMonitor licensing.
