v.195 Release Notes

Feature Highlights

Datapoint Analysis

You can now view additional correlated metrics that are related to a numeric metric in alert. The new Datapoint Analysis feature pulls in relevant datapoints that are highly correlated to the alerting datapoint, and generates a correlation score. This correlation score is calculated based on datapoints retrieved by several different strategies like datapoints from the same instance. The higher the correlation score for a particular datapoint, the more correlated that datapoint is to the datapoint associated with the alert.

New Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Modules

You can now leverage the device-based modules that support Cisco SD-WAN Bulk API versions 20.6.x to 20.12.x (current release). LogicMonitor provides a new Enhanced Script NetScan to automate discovering and onboarding each vEdge, cEdge, vSmart, and vBond device and to organize the Resources in Groups by SD-WAN Site ID. These modules provide new features, an intuitive user experience, simplified ServiceNow CMDB Integration, and support for core LM Envision features like Network Traffic Analysis, Log Analysis, and Role Based Access Control.

For the list of new Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN modules, see the New LogicModules table.

Enhancements to Cisco Meraki Modules

LogicMonitor now includes additional NetScan and host properties to support communicating with snmp.meraki.com using SNMP v2c and v3.

For more information, see Cisco Meraki Monitoring in the Product Documentation.

General Updates

Cloud Monitoring

Enhancements

• Monitoring RDS and DocumentDB in AWS has been updated. This change updates the way RDS instances are displayed and monitored to enhance usability. RDS are now shown as DB Instances. A new service has been added for DB Clusters.

Netscans

Enhancements

• Enhanced Netscan script now supports adding hosts in batches. With the optimizations done in the script, you can onboard a large number of devices over a controlled time period without impacting the application performance.

New UI

Enhancements

• Pagination is now included at the bottom of the alert tuning page so that you know how many total datapoints are available in the rendered table.
• Updated the Uptime widget in the Resource > Overview tab to include the device name and “Uptime” in the title.
• A filter is now available when viewing all Datasources in the Resource Group > Alert Tuning tab.

Fixed Issues

• For feature parity with the Legacy UI:
  • The Resources > Recently Deleted page now shows the number of days until a device is deleted in the title bar.
  • Added the instance description back into the Resource Tree. Also, for instances that have a long name or description, the Resource Tree now displays an ellipsis to indicate that the full description has been truncated.
  • The following tokens are now clickable in the alerts table as they were in the Legacy UI: ##alertdetailurl##, ##detail##, ##deviceurl##, ##url##.
  • Links in the Support Panel are clickable. You can click on the title of a support article in the new UI and it will open the product documentation in a new tab.
  • Resource Name, Datasource Display Name and Graph Name are now available when downloading a graph.
• For extended time ranges on the graphs tab, there was a slight difference between what we were showing in Legacy and New UI versions. The rendered graph should now match between the 2 versions.

Looking Ahead

In this section, you will find announcements about upcoming beta features, updates about ongoing beta features, and information about the end-of-support for existing features.

Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN Modules

In a future release, LogicMonitor will release new modules that follow HPE Aruba’s monitoring best practices for EdgeConnect SD-WAN versions 9.x. LogicMonitor will provide a new Enhanced Script NetScan to automate discovering and organizing onboarding each EdgeConnect OS (ECOS) appliance. These modules will provide new features, an intuitive user experience, simplified ServiceNow CMDB Integration, and support for key LM Envision features like Root Cause Analysis, Network Traffic Analysis, Log Analysis, and Role Based Access Control.

Adding Functionality for Import from Repository Deprecation

In a future release of LogicMonitor, the ability to audit a module when importing it from the repository (the “Legacy Import/Update Process”) will be removed. You can accomplish this same functionality using the Skip feature in My Module Toolbox.

For more information, see Modules Management in the Product Documentation.

Migration of LogicModules from Settings to Modules

In a future release, LogicModules will no longer be available from Settings. You can access the Exchange, My Module Toolbox, and all settings for managing modules from Modules in the navigation bar.

For more information, see Modules Overview in the Product Documentation.
