Documentation for creating custom credential types?
Hi, Is there some documentation available about how these custom credential types should be created and what different configuration options are available? Would be nice to have some documentation available where would be some instructions about different configuration possibilities available. For example what different type of fields I can create with this JSON configuration or how to configure regex validation for this specific field etc. Is there some documentation about this available or would it be possible to create one?
F5 Telemetry Streaming
Hello All, Has anyone successfully configured F5 telemetry streaming with SL1? I was interested in solutions to accomplish this and haven't seen a lot of documentation on how to do this. If you have tips or methods you used to get this working, please let me know or point me to where I can learn more about this. Thanks, William AdleyHelp with Custom Parameters for 'Sync Devices from SL1 to ServiceNow'
Hi all, I’m working on creating a schedule for the 'Sync Devices from SL1 to ServiceNow' application, and I’m trying to set up some custom parameters. Specifically, I want to configure custom settings for: - Include Org - Selected Device - Excluded Device I’ve written the code and tested it multiple times, but I’m having trouble getting it to work as expected. Has anyone successfully implemented custom parameters for these settings? Or is it even possible to override them with custom parameters in the current setup? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!Join ScienceLogic VP of Solutions and Ecosystems Douglas James at NexusLive Oct 7-9th

Hello all, We will be working to evaluate and update the API call versions used in the Azure PowerPack later this year. However, there is one API call that is being deprecated by Azure 10/31/25 that may occur before the next release of the Azure PowerPack. An email was sent out by Microsoft notifying that one of the SQL API Endpoint Versions is being retired. This version of the SQL Database endpoint is only used for customer’s using the Germany Portal, all other portals (Commercial, US Gov, China) do not use this endpoint. You can find more details here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1073330/retirement-notice-azure-sql-database-2014-04-01-ap If you use the German Azure Portal, please reach out. Thanks, TaylorCMDB Sync relation overrides
Device sync has quite a mandatory configuration option about relations between SL1 devices vs Snow CIs. We have used that a lot but now struggling with some issue we noticed this "values" section. In documentation we can see this picture: which shows that there is part "values" and it is told that they are Additional Child Class Values. Then in example we have this { "cmdb_ci_db_mssql_instance": { "relations": [ { "parent": "cmdb_ci_win_server", "rel_type": "Runs on::Runs", "reverse": true } ], "values": {"sys_class_name": "snow_ci_class", "instance_name": "name"} }, "cmdb_ci_db_mssql_database": { "relations": [ { "parent": "cmdb_ci_db_mssql_instance", "rel_type": "Contains::Contained by", "reverse": false } ], "values": {"sys_class_name": "snow_ci_class", "database": "name"} }, "cmdb_ci_db_mssql_server": { "relations": [ { "parent": "cmdb_ci_win_server", "rel_type": "Runs on::Runs", "reverse": true } ], "values": {"sys_class_name": "snow_ci_class", "instance_name": "name"} } } Not much told about those in documentation, so few questions arise: when do we need to use those? Seems to be optional anyway. what are the field names to be used here. In the example snow_ci_class seems to be coming from device attributes/field from SL1, then probably the key part is the snow field? Is that correct?
Azure SMB file share level monitoring
After discovering our Azure environment we noticed that by default the Storage account utilization is monitored and has events created. But we have 4 SMB file shares on a single storage account. We're looking to monitor the utilization of each file share individually to generate events. Right now we could potentially have a file share 100% utilized and not generate an event because the storage account utilization is not an issue. Is there a way to enable this without programming it into the existing power pack?
