In case you hadn’t already heard, ScienceLogic has been named a Visionary in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Observability Platforms 1 . In our view that’s a great opportunity for new ops teams to get to know ScienceLogic. But as part of the Nexus Community working with the SL1 platform, Restorepoint, or Skylar AI for any length of time, that recognition isn’t a surprise at all. You already knew. This isn’t one of those “we’ve arrived” moments for us, especially against a backdrop providing rich monitoring, digital understanding, and automation innovation for over two decades. Instead, we feel it’s a moment of gratefulness and appreciation for the ScienceLogic user community. You have solved one “impossible IT challenge” after another in some of the world’s most complex environments. You’ve tamed local, hybrid, and multi-cloud ops, with workloads and dataflows spanning from mainframes to Kubernetes. The stories you share with us chronicle this. You’re closing observability gaps across your operations, automating swaths of previously manual troubleshooting and remediation steps, and better, freeing your team from tedium and toil to focus their skill on technology innovation and growing the business. Observability, Turbocharged We believe this most recent analyst recognition comes at a pivotal time for IT operations, and we’re excited by the analyst’s research for Observability Platforms. Once focused on providing dashboards for DevOps, APM, and SRE teams, organizations like yours have found that the tenants of observability are useful across all aspects of service delivery, not just a slice of the stack. From human users on a mobile app, to service front ends, to compute, networks, storage and more, modern Observability offers helps you understand what’s happening anywhere in real-world ops. To us, Gartner’s recognition is a validation of the innovative work you do every day. We believe it’s about your expert understanding of the transformational value of real-time insight and automated action, and about how ScienceLogic customers like you deliver outstanding digital experiences even while building modern ops muscle. You’re holding ops together with fewer people, managing tighter timelines, and meeting ever-increasing quality expectations every day. What’s Your Observability Story? We’d love to hear your thoughts on Observability and extending visibility and insight beyond traditional monitoring and log analysis. Also, feel free to share your thoughts below about the evolution of Observability to support the larger organization and new teams. You’ll find detailed insight into modern Observability included in the report, so be sure to check that out in full here. Also, you still also have time to register for our live conference, Nexus Live, October 7-9. The bulk of Nexus Live’s tracks and sessions will be dedicated to observability, best practices, technology advances, and demonstrations of new observability features for your environment. Best of all, it’s a chance to meet other ops experts, and of course we’d love to see you there too. Thank you for your contributions to the evolution of observability. But then again, Logicians like you have always been ahead of the curve. ....

Interface 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.
Dashboarding: questions and (maybe) ideas
Sorry because I am the major wrong-doer, I put quite many things in this post. Table widgets. What is the meaning of Aggergation in Metrics value. For me it seems whatever I choose from there the values are always the same, in this example above table widget shown Max and lower Min aggregations, and those values are not dependent of chosen time window, seems to be the last value, always. the Aggregation in table widgets. As I as a human (would like to) understand should show the Max and Min values of the metrics from the chosen time window. Am I just understanding it wrong? Index names in table widgets. In graph it shows those index names but I have not been able to show those names in table, just values. Is that Works-as-Designed or my mistake? Help in editing dashboards? In AP2 UI all help seems to be behind Help button in the title row. Except that in some windows, for example when you are editing dashboard widgets, there is no title row -> no help available. For user that means that I have to close editing that widget, go back, press help and then go back to dashboard page/tab and start editing that widget. Not very user friendly. Is that also Works-as-Designed? These are from 12.3.5 + 8.20.2
