VMWare: vSphere Base Pack v309 PowerPack Release Notification
We are pleased to announce that the VMWare: vSphere Base Pack v309 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/aBu0z000000XZeiCAG/vmware-vsphere-base-pack The following enhancements and addressed issues are included this release of the VMWare: vSphere Base Pack v309 PowerPack: As of version 309 of the PowerPack, you can now define whether to require SSL verification. The VMware credential now includes a CURL option called "SSLVERIFYPEER" which allows you to configure whether to skip or require verification. As of version 309, the PowerPack no longer supports VMware versions below 7.0. Added support for discovery of Template and VirtualMachine folders to the PowerPack. Added DCM+R support for Virtual Machine to Windows Server devices. Added Component Availability Identifier to the "Unique Id" collection object in the "VMware: NetworkFolder Network Discovery" Dynamic Application in order to correctly reflect the availability status of the network. When networks are removed, their status will now correctly update to "Unavailable" and they will vanish according to vanishing settings. (Support Case: 00433671) Addressed an issue that caused a "-1" value to be returned for a performance metric. The fix correctly handles "-1" as NO DATA in performance Dynamic Applications. (Support Case: 00434633) Addressed an issue with the "Vmware: Datastore Storage Performance" Dynamic Application that caused "NoneType" errors when processing lists. (Support Case: 00416987) Addressed an issue that prevented device information from updating properly after upgrading to version 308 of the PowerPack. (Support Case: 00402298) VM Snapshots created by third-party tools would sometimes be missing data such as age (creation time) or size. Those configurations are now supported. (Support Case: 00363112) Addressed an issue with the "Vmware: VirtualMachine Configuration" Dynamic Application that prevented VM Snapshots from updating correctly. (Support Case: 00397489) The collector affinity of "VMware: HostSystem Memory Performance" Dynamic Application has been changed to root affinity, as it requires cache data only available on the root collector. (Support Case: 00431040) Removed the "other" option from the "Vmware: Events" snippet. (Support Case: 00370913) Addressed an issue that caused the VMware credential tester to fail when it should not. Note: This issue is addressed for version 12.2.0+ of SL1. VMware PowerPacks running on version 11.3-12.1.x will still be unable to run the credential test. Addressed an issue that prevented the "Virtual Disk Average Read Latency" and "Virtual Disk Average Write Latency" metrics in the "VMware: Datastore Cluster Storage Performance" Dynamic Application from collecting data. Addressed an issue that caused the "VMware: Component Count Config" Dynamic Application to fail. Addressed an issue that caused the "Vmware: VirtualMachine IC UpTime" Dynamic Application to trigger notice events in the system logs. Addressed an issue that caused the "Vmware: VirtualMachine Configuration" Dynamic Application to discover a false snapshot that shared a name with the virtual machine and contained no other information. Addressed an issue that prevented a Virtual Machine configuration from updating to reflect the additional available data if VMware Tools is activated or deactivated on a Virtual Machine.

We're looking at enabling Syslog output to a central repository from PowerFlow at an application level. We've already got this running fine at an OS level and SL1 at an application level. Has anybody setup logging for PowerFlow? We're specifically interested in any login type data and also code changes. I've been through as much doc as I can find on the topic, such as: https://docs.sciencelogic.com/pdf/sciencelogic_powerflow_2-1-1.pdf https://docs.docker.com/engine/logging/drivers/syslog/ https://support.sciencelogic.com/s/article/10819 It doesn't appear straight forward to link log files in /var/log/iservices to their respective Docker services. I'm just looking for validation as much as anything, that Docker level logging of the contentapi and gui processes would be the way forward to capture all relevant security related information, and that all other processes can be ignored.14Views0likes0CommentsExtend SL1 Functionality Through Customized PowerPacks and Dynamic Applications
1 MIN READ The ScienceLogic SL1 platform excels in data collection, event management, automation, and dashboard creation, thanks to its robust built-in PowerPacks. When business needs require a more tailored solution, you can tap into the flexibility of SL1 Studio, a suite of no-code and low-code tools designed for customization. Example Demo: Building a REST API-Based Dynamic Application This video showcases a four-step process using SL1 Studio's low-code tools to create a Dynamic Application that enhances discovery and monitoring by pulling metrics from API endpoints. The scenario illustrated in the video demonstrates one approach to developing an API-based Dynamic Application. Additionally, SL1 Studio offers the Dynamic Application Builder, a user-friendly wizard that guides you through the creation of Dynamic Applications. Once you’ve built or updated your Dynamic Applications, employ the Quality Assessment Tool PowerPack to thoroughly test your customizations before entering the QA review process. Want to Learn More?

We are currently facing a scenario where the IP address of our Meraki devices changes upon reboot, which subsequently triggers a DFA alert. To streamline our operations and reduce manual intervention, we are exploring the possibility of capturing these IP changes and updating them automatically in SL. Meraki assets are onboarded through SNMP.9Views0likes1CommentTech Connect Phoenix Agenda Oct 17th
