Is there an easy way to find out if a specific performance metric of interest is being polled/collected on our Skylar One platform (currently or ever). Scenario:I do not know the device/s associated with the performance metric I do not know the power packs/dynamic application related to the vendor/technology How do i go about checking if the below metrics are ever collected/ing on our Skylar One platform and is on the database?ibSystemMonitorCpuUsage      .1.3.6.1.4.1.7779.3.1.1.2.1.8.1.1.0ibSystemMonitorMemUsage    .1.3.6.1.4.1.7779.3.1.1.2.1.8.2.1.0 Thanks

Basic user Required for SL1 PF - SNOW OAUTH Integration.The basic user/password are unused by this authentication method but are still referenced by applications in the SyncPack.We want this basic user to be removed entirely for oauth integration.Ref Case - 00729817Basically for other snow integration using oauth, no where any other additional user being used.We want to explore if any method we can utilize where we will be using oauth for sl1 PF - SNOW integration without any additional user being configured at snow layer. 

I have recently created a Map of routers and switches for a client, I’m not a network professional so I basically just created a filter for “all ‘Network.Router’ or ‘Network.Firewall’ and it is showing me a map of all of the L3 connections.I think it looks good but my issue is every time I click “save” or close and re-open the map, it resets the positions of all of the nodes so I have to drag them out again. Is there any way to make the node locations permanant?

Hi,I reviewed the MySQL PowerPack but could not find any monitoring related to MySQL/MariaDB replication.Could anyone confirm whether replication monitoring is currently supported by the PowerPack? We are particularly interested in monitoring the replication status and detecting replication failures or excessive replication lag.If this is not currently supported, would it need to be implemented as a custom Dynamic Application, or are there plans to include replication monitoring in a future PowerPack release?Has anyone else encountered the same requirement? If so, I would be interested to hear how you implemented the monitoring.Thanks in advance!Best regards,Santeri

Hi All,I have a request to show a list of servers with a column that shows the % of Availability (successful polls) over the time period that is selected in the dashboard. When I add the metric “Availability” from the Vitals selection, it simply shows a current state (Healthy/Minor/Major/Critical). Is there an way to show a heatmap or percentage (leaderboard would be best!) of server availability percentage? 

Hi, I have a question about the GQL updateEvent mutation. I'm trying to use it to change the severity of an existing event, but I'm getting a Bad Request response when executing the mutation:mutation changeEvent($eventId: ID!, $severity: String) {  updateEvent(id: $eventId, severity: $severity) {    id  }} Is changing the event severity supported with this mutation? If it is, could you let me know how the severity value should be provided?Thanks!

For powershell devices, when a device is first discovered, the cred used to added into this cred keys table, and then nightly discovery will also use that cred. You can also add a second cred from the properties page. The issue i found is that if you change creds, for whatever reason the cred key table doesn’t get updated. We have created a DA which dynamically aligns DAs using ‘from sl_credentials.constants import CRED_POWERSHELL’ to pull the credentials. because its not updated the DA doesn’t work Is there a way to pull the credential for a powershell device more dynamically, also, i think the nightly discovery also uses the same, so I think that it would also fail?Or is there a process which updates the table? 

The vEdge Container availability check does not currently validate vManage REST API availability. Because of this limitation, the vEdge Container can remain available even when API-dependent vEdge devices, which are child components under the vEdge Container, are impacted. This prevents topology-based event suppression from working as expected and can result in multiple child component availability alerts for a single API-related outage.Proposed Enhancement: -Enhance the vEdge Container availability logic by adding an availability check via the vManage REST API. If the API is unavailable, the vEdge Container should also fail the availability check and move to an unavailable state.Expected Behavior: -When the vManage REST API is unavailable, the vEdge Container should fail its availability check. The vEdge Container should be marked as unavailable before the child vEdge devices generate individual availability alerts. Topology-based event suppression should suppress availability alerts

Hello Team,There is a requirement coming from our client to monitor all the certificates configured on v-centersThe certificate includes Machine SSL, trusted root certificate,Below are the some sample certificates which is required to be monitored. 

As of now topology for CPD,LLDP,L2 and L3  Skylar one doesn't detect parent and child correctly for some devices ,during these case users must have the option to interchange the connection in relationship tab or map . And the database crunch process  should not revert the direction back as well.

Current Situation / Problem StatementDuring a recent vulnerability assessment of the ScienceLogic SL1 platform, the security team identified finding FND-295942 – Unsafe Third-Party Link (target="_blank" without noopener/noreferrer).The assessment found that certain links within the SL1 web application open external pages in a new browser tab or window using the target="_blank" attribute without implementing the recommended security controls rel="noopener noreferrer".This behavior may allow the newly opened page to access the originating window through the browser's window.opener functionality, creating a potential security risk and resulting in repeated vulnerability findings during security scans.Proposed SolutionUpdate all SL1 web application hyperlinks that use target="_blank" to include: Additionally:Review all external and third-party links across the SL1 UI. Implement secure coding standards for future development. Include the validation of noopener and noreferrer attributes as p

Hi All.Are there any who have have success with having a Dynamic Device group added to an User initiated Action?Our setup requires that we have auto discovery on new servers as we enroll up to 10 new servers pr week.So they all need to be added automatic to safe time.But I have 1 action that with Device Group cant be found under tools. Only If I select specific devices. 

We use the Dynamic App inspector report to find devices that have fallen out of monitoring for a long period of time, which is mostly due to an issue on the device. Any device that has an object with this would be one we’d need to look into:Found = YES / Collect = NO The trouble we have is that there is too much data that doesn’t require attention. For example SQL clusters, where Databases have moved to a secondary, but the DBs are still present on the primary but you cant read them, so this generates a YES found NO collect. And other DAs, where features are not enabled, but the DAs will align, like DB mirroring which can be disabled. Azure is a big one, where subscriptions are not including certain data sets, but the DA still attempts, and you end up with a YES found and NO collect. With so many devices, under Azure, ACI, Netapp for example, this data set is massive hard to find what is truly an issue sometimes.  I’m looking to see if there is a better way to manage the YES/NO devices

I am just browsing through release notes of latest Skylar 12.5.* and found out some interesting issues like ---In the Skylar One user interface, the End User License Agreement (EULA) page is displayed on allpages that were iframed from the classic user interface, even after the user agrees to the EULA. Thisissue is occurring for ADFS, CAC, and AD authentication methods. (Jira ID: EM-67851)--Ok that sounds pretty nasty for users. So I sent a question directly to SL people and learnt that this was an issue in AP2 Gelato, fixed in Ice-Pop, and this known issue has been on the list at list from 12.5.8 to 12.5.22. I then checked some other issues also and also them were closed already internally. So the discussion here should be like where could we get updated known issues list for each release version, hopefully on a table format which clearly explains which version has that issue and in which version it is fixed or is it actually still an issue. For example that EULA issue is not listed o

I have created a low-code tools DA that is set to run a snippet of powershell. It is a multi-line powershell script that has been tested on a live server and returns the results we’re looking for, however it seems to break when I put it into the low-code snippet window.It seems to be erroring out due to syntax of the script, I’m wondering if there is a way to enter a multi-line script into low-code tools that I am missing? (for a similar example, in curl you surround a multi-line script in 3 quotes)Here’s an example of the beginning of the script:low_code:  version: 2  steps:    - powershell:        command: $Domain = "#####"$Limit  = 120 try {    # Find one Domain Controller    $DC = (Resolve-DnsName "_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.$Domain" -Type SRV -ErrorAction Stop |           Select-Object -First 1 -ExpandProperty NameTarget).TrimEnd('.')

I am looking to determine missing items not available in the New Interface (AP2).  We recently updated our Development Environment to 12.5.21 and found that they are deprecating the Events tab in the text of the tab and on the page they placed a URL link to AP2.   Thus for us to use 12.5.21 we will be forced to move to AP2.  Thus I need to do a gap analysis between the two interfaces.1. AP2 dashboards do not have the ability be secured using access keys and only support Private, Public, or Organizations A user in Classic can login and be presented with a Classic dashboard only..  This is not possible in 12.5.21

Using version 104 of the Power Pack in Linux queues other than the Transmission and Dead Letter queues have to be listed within the snippet. In a large account with 100’s of queues this is really not feasible to maintain.  Other queues should have the ability to be added by type such as Local Queues or by using wild cards or Regex in the snippet.

Hi All,Someone internally has requested that we create some custom Linux/Docker service monitoring. We have the exact shell command that we need to run to get the data we’re looking to alert on. I was going to create a custom Dynamic Application that uses Python to initiate an SSH connection using our standard credential and run the command.Question here: Does anyone have any experience using ScienceLogic’s built-in SSH python library? I searched the support site for documentation, but no luck. I also tried to open a handful of the out of the box DAs, but the actual SSH Connection is compiled in the library as far as I can tell. Otherwise my trusty Claude has recommended that I use the Paramiko library, which is also a possibility. Anyone have any recommendations?

It has been observed that SNMP credentials (such as community strings, SNMPv3 authentication/privacy keys, and SSH credentials) are retrievable in a readable format through authenticated API access.This behavior represents a significant security vulnerability, as sensitive credentials should never be exposed in plaintext. If the exposed credentials have Read-Write privileges, an attacker who gains API access could potentially modify device configurations, disrupt services, or compromise the integrity of managed systems.As a security best practice, all sensitive credentials should be encrypted at rest and should not be retrievable in a user-readable format through any API response. Where credential validation is required, mechanisms such as secure storage, tokenization, hashing (where applicable), or masked values should be implemented instead of returning the actual credentials.We recommend remediating this issue by ensuring that sensitive credentials are securely encrypted and inacces
