Resource Management

Last updated - 25 March, 2026

Resource configurations are managed from the Resources page. Navigate to the resource in the Resources tree and select Manage in the top right corner of the Resources page.

Requirements for Managing Resources

To delete a resource, you need a LogicMonitor user with the “Manage” permission for all groups the resource is a member of. For more information, see Adding a User and Adding a Role.

Deleting Resources

Resources are deleted from the Resources page. When a resource is deleted, LogicMonitor provides a seven-day grace period in which you can choose to restore a deleted resource and all its data.

To delete a resource:

1. Navigate to the resource in the Resources tree.
2. Click the Manage button in the top right corner of the Resources page.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the Manage dialog that appears and click Delete.
   After deletion, the resource and all its data are moved to the Recently Deleted folder.

Restoring Resources

When a resource is deleted, it is held in the Recently Deleted folder for seven days. Users with “Manage” permissions on the Resource tree root directly can restore the deleted resource and all its data.

To restore a device:

1. From the Resources tree, open the Recently Deleted Items folder.
2. Select the resource you would like to restore and click Restore.
   LogicMonitor attempts to restore the resource to the same state it was in at the time of deletion. However, if its condition—or the conditions of associated LogicModules (e.g., DataSources, EventSources, etc.)—has changed since deletion, LogicMonitor may not be able to exactly match the previous state upon restoration.

Changing the Preferred Collector

1. In LogicMonitor, navigate to Resource Tree.
2. Locate the Resource you want to change the preferred Collector for from the Resources Tree, and select Manage. 
3. In the Preferred Collector field, choose the Collector from the list.
4. Select Save.

Changing Resource Group Memberships

A resource can belong to one or more resource groups. Changing resource group memberships enables you to add or remove resources from a group to ensure they are organized correctly for monitoring, alerting, and access control.

1. In LogicMonitor, navigate to Resource Tree.
2. Locate the Resource you want to change the preferred Collector for from the Resources Tree, and select Manage. 
3. In the Groups section, modify the groups as needed by doing any of the following:
   • Add a resource to a group by doing the following:
     1. Select .
     2. In the Name field, enter the name of a group.
        LogicMonitor attempts to match values as you type.
     3. Select Apply.
   • Modify an existing group by doing the following:

     2. In the Name field, modify the group as needed.
     3. Select Apply.
