Introduction As discussed in How DataSources Get Applied to Resources, DataSources are automatically applied to the resources that you have added into monitoring. However, there may be occasions when you don’t want a particular DataSource to actively collect data for one or more resources to which it has been applied. For example, you may simply … Continued

Overview For every DataSource applied to a device, LogicMonitor attempts to discover instances to monitor. Some DataSources will only ever have one one instance to monitor per device (e.g. ping), while others may identify multiple instances (e.g. disks, server volumes, interfaces, etc.) to monitor per device When multiple instances are identified by a DataSource (called … Continued

Overview The Instances tab is available from the Resources page. It displays when viewing multi-instance DataSources from the Resources tree.

The steps are outlined below: Web Pages Field Description Name The name of the monitored … Continued

The Raw Data tab for an instance provides a table of all the data returned for the defined datapoints.  The raw data table is useful for diagnosis of an issue that has been identified in a graph or alert.  It also provides insight and context to evaluate which other graphs or alerts may be helpful. … Continued
