I'm working on building out a dashboard for IPSLA tests. I'd like one widget for the devices that drives another widget showing a list of the IPSLA tests on the selected device. I'd then like to have the widget with the list of tests drive the widget with the line graph visualization. Should be simple, right? The issue I'm running in to is with the widget for the list of IPSLA tests. If I select a Table visualization, it only shows one of the tests configured on the selected device. If I select a Configuration Table visualization, it shows a list of all of the tests on the selected device. The problem is that the Configuration Table visualization does not support driving other widgets (like the one with the line graph visualization). Any thoughts on how to make this work? Thanks.Linux Base Pack v114 PowerPack Release Notification
We are pleased to announce that the Linux Base Pack v114 PowerPack has been released. The download for this release can be found on the Support Portal under the PowerPack filename: https://support.sciencelogic.com/s/release-version/aBu0z000000XZHFCA4/linux-base-pack Enhancements and Issues Addressed The following enhancements and addressed issues are included in this release: Updated all Dynamic Applications to use the Snippet Framework. NOTE: Due to this change, the "Linux: Configuration Discovery" and "Linux: SSH Cache Worker" Dynamic Applications are no longer required and should remain disabled in version 114 of the "Linux Base Pack" PowerPack. Added three new collection objects to the "Linux: Memory Performance" Dynamic Application: "Out of Memory Kill Count", which indicates the number of processes the kernel has terminated due to running out of memory since booting. "Swap In", which shows how often data is moved from disk back into system memory, measured in pages per second. "Swap Out", which shows how often data is moved from system memory to storage, measured in pages per second. Resolved an issue that caused missed CPU performance polls by disabling the "Linux: SSH Cache Worker" Dynamic Application, which is no longer required for using this PowerPack. (Case: 00521297) (Jira ID: SOL-31307) Please refer to the Linux Base Pack v114 PowerPack File Details in the PowerPacks section of the Support Portal for all information pertaining to the Linux Base Pack v114 PowerPack Support Status, Minimum SL1 Version, Solution Information, and Pricing Information.

Skylar AutomationPowerPack and API-Key
Hi, We have moved away from using the ISadmin account for Skylar Automate. Instead of the we using a SSO integration for the users and for integrations the API-Key possibilities. Looking at Skylar AutomationPowerPack v108 I can't see the option to use an API-Key in the SOAP/XML credential. My questions: Did I overlooked something? If not, how can we implement the API-Key? I think the usage of API-Key is applicable for more ScienceLogic clients. Thanks in advance. AlfredInterface admin/operationally down events
OK. So I'm fairly new to modifying events in SL1, but our NOC has requested that we research suppressing the "Poller: Interface operationally down" event if "Poller: Interface Admin down" is active on a given interface. That makes perfect sense to me. If an interface is admin down, then there is absolutely no need for the operationally down event/alert. Other tools I have administered in the past had this logic baked in out of the box, but that doesn't seem to be the case with SL1. I looked at using the Autoclear option for the Admin down event to have it clear the operationally down message, but I'd much rather just not have the operationally down event trigger at all if the interface is admin down. Any thoughts on how to get this configured? Thank you.Skylar Compliance RPM Agent 5.6 20251231 Release

Event Policies: Multiple Matching Policies Tie-Breaking
I'm looking for information on internal tie-breaking logic when multiple event policies match the same event and have the same weight. From what I have read, this logic is typically based on policy ID or creation order - but which way ? oldest wins OR newest wins ? My team have a set up meant to handle VMware events (API) differently based on the Organization. However they are doing this using device groups in the suppression tab which isn't effective if the event match is the same.
