At a high level, PropertySources work as follows: Once established, PropertySources will run: … Continued
Scripted Data Collection Overview
Introduction Generally, the pre-defined collection methods such as SNMP, WMI, WEBPAGE, etc. are sufficient for extending LogicMonitor with your own custom DataSources. However, in some cases you may need to use the SCRIPT mechanism to retrieve performance metrics from hard-to-reach places. A few common use cases for the SCRIPT collection method include: Executing an arbitrary … Continued
Creating PowerShell Script Datasources
Setting up a PowerShell datasource in LogicMonitor is a similar process to other script datasources.
