Managing ConfigSources

Overview From Settings | LogicModules | ConfigSources, you can search, add, edit, and create ConfigSources. Each ConfigSource has a definition that tells the LogicMonitor Collector how to SSH into a device, collect a config file, and when an alert should be triggered. Note: If the ability to monitor and alert on configuration files is not … Continued

Datapoint Overview

Introduction A datapoint is a piece of data that is collected during monitoring. Every DataSource definition must have at least one configured datapoint that defines what information is to be collected and stored, as well as how to collect, process, and potentially alert on that data. Normal Datapoints vs. Complex Datapoints LogicMonitor defines two types … Continued

Note: If the ability to monitor and alert on configuration files is not currently available in your LogicMonitor platform … Continued

HostStatus DataSource

The HostStatus DataSource is a critical component for effectively monitoring your infrastructure. It associates with all devices added to your portal and is used to determine whether the device is responsive. Specifically, the idleInterval datapoint within the HostStatus DataSource measures the amount of time in seconds since the LogicMonitor Collector was able to collect data … Continued
