How Do I Set The Parent Device Of A Device?
Hello, I hope someone can assist with the following. I am using Device Component Mapping to create a hierarchical/tree structure of devices, but SL seems to assign the Parent Device attribute randomly for each device created, and I need to be able to set the Parent Device correctly, so that the hierarchical structure is correct. I have data that contain a set of locations that correspond to the tree structure. The structure has this concept: One Country -> Many Cities -> Many Buildings -> Many Rooms. Each data record has an id, a name, a parent id and a type. The data is split into cities, buildings and rooms. For example, a city record might be as follows: id: CITYPARIS, name: Paris, parent id: CTRYFRANCE, type: city. A building record might be as follows: id: BLDGMONTPARNASSE, name: Tour Montparnasse, parent id: CITYPARIS, type: building. And to complete the picture, a room record might be as follows: id: ROOMMEETING1, name: Meeting Room 1, parent id: BLDGMONTPARNASSE, type: room. When I create one of the 'tree' levels of devices (it could be city, or building, or room), in my Dynamic Application, the code snippet extracts cached data where the type is 'city', then passes the extracted data to the result handler, which populates the four collection fields: id, name, parent_id, type. The id field is set to be the Unique Identifier, the name field is set to be the Device Name, and the type field is set to be Class Identifier 1 (I've created device classes for each tree level, allows me to have funky icons to distinguish the devices visually). The DA then creates devices for each record found, and I see them appearing on the Device Manager screen. However, when I examine each device, the Parent Device that is set seems to be random. For example, three city devices created (Paris, Nantes, Poitiers) all were assigned a Parent Device of 'Paris', the name of one of the devices created, instead of using their own parent_id values. Is there a way to tell SL what the Parent Device for each device record should be, perhaps in the snippet or somewhere else? Can I use one of the field values extracted from the cached data (ideally, my parent_id) as the value for the Parent Device field? This is my first post here, so apologies if this is in the wrong place!

Elevated Privileges for Python3 Libraries
We are stuck trying to recreate some of the metrics we collect in our current Python2 snippets using pipes. The specific example is 'ping', which required subprocesses, no longer allowed. We don't believe latency_ping,avail_ping from silo_tools will let us collect packet_count, packet_loss, avg_latencies, latencies that a library like ping3 allows. (used to calculate jitter and else) Some of the libraries seem to require raw sockets and/or elevated privileges. So our question is two fold. 1 - Can we import custom libraries such as Ping3? 2 - How do we use elevated privileges on the collectors, as some libraries require elevated priveleges? Thanks in advance, Dan

Device configuration "key/value" pairs synchronization to ITSM
With Powerflow most data are pretty easy to sync from SL1 to ITSM/CMDB, in this case ServiceNow. But now we have requirement that we should sync cloud device tags from SL1 to SN. The data from Azure virtual server, using Azure PP, is shown on SL1 like below, multiple key/value rows per device. So those are not easily stored into Attributes. And if I have understood correctly, quite a lot of tags used in cloud. Any ideas how these could be synced with PF into ServiceNow?

Cisco: Power Supply problem. Currently, Power Supply (TenGigabitEthernet */*/* Supply Voltage Sensor) status: unavailable Alerts from Cat9500FixedSwitchStack This is something not an usual alert for cisco devices. I am receiving this alert on Cat9500FixedSwitchStack (Cisco IOS Software [Bengaluru], Catalyst L3 Switch Software (CAT9K_IOSXE), Version 17.6.4). Has any one receiving the same alerts and what's the fix applied.

Version information for PowerPacks
Is it possible to share a complete overview for all the available Powerpacks in the group PowerPack Release Notifications? For instance weekly an update with the new releases (current way of working) and once in the month or bi-monthly an aggregated overview. With one complete overview it becomes easier to compare all your stacks with the lasted released powerpack and implement where needed.
