Hello.In our environment it sometimes happen for CheckPoint devices that people configure specific route on one node but forget to implement it on another. Would be possible to build Lua script to compare content of these routing table outputs? Let's say we would provide which members needs to be compared and then provide the info whether routing table is synced or not.We were thinking about using policies compliance check for routes, but it is too complicated since we would need to build specific policy for each CheckPoint pair, which is impossible in our environment where we support more than 2K of such devices.Thank you.

We have a need to automate lots of BSM service creations and I am struggling with GQL now.We have created attribute to be used for harquery {customAttributes  (first: 7, search: {name: {eq: "BSM_Region"}})  {  edges {    node {id label type entity alignmentType        }        }    }}and that gives us: {  "data": {    "customAttributes": {      "edges": [        {          "node": {            "id": "57",            "label": "BSM_Region",            "type": "string",            "entity": "harProvider",            "alignmentType": "extended"          }        }      ]    }  }}If I then try to align that attribute

Hello fellow members.I humbly come to ask for help about a problem we are facing in our EM7 system.  We've created some SNMP Performance Dynamic Applications that the OIDs return OctetString values, such as "20 mbar". Then, how could we treat this data in order to plot it in Device Performance? We are avoiding to create a python snippet, cause this system have an old python version installed and most compatible SNMP libraries are not available anymore.EM7 Version: EM7 G3 - 8.7.1 - Build 211Bellow finds some pictures to help understand this issue:Device Performance without any data because it cannot read OctetString.Collection Objects. Each object returns a differente type of value, i.e. Cycle Time returns a integer and Output Pressure returns a OctetString.MIB Browser Result.Anybody could assist us?Thanks in advance.

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:

Hi All,We need to disable interface internal collection for certain devices. Whether it is possible to do via any device group or device class or model? Basically we don't want the interface utilization data to be polled for all devices. 

Is anyone aware of a PowerPack containing an Environment/Library with newer Paramiko support, compatible with SL1 11.2?We have run into devices that don't allow older Paramiko cipher support in the default environment.Thank you!

Hello AllOur customer's installed new switches for their storage and they want to backup them throught restorepoint, unfortunately they don't appear in the list of configurable devices. The switch model is BROADCOM BES-53248-B. I can provide documentation if neededCan you please ask Restorepoint to add them, the way to backup is similar to Cisco but with slightly different commands so it shouldn't be difficult to adapt.B.R

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

How to get proper sizing chart for device configuration backups onto NFS if one needs to keep them for 6 months at least?

Hey Everyone,I have recently integrated my SL1 distributed system with Okta. When accessing my databases directly by their IP everything functions as intended. Where the trouble begins is when trying to access my Admin Portals. When trying to access the Admin Portals we get a message back of "File not found". We have created sperate Okta applications and added them to the database hoping to resolve the issue but it still persist.Has anyone done this integration before and have they run into similar issues?

Hi,Has anyone developed a custom monitoring solution for IPv6 only devices? I am looking for PowerShell, Linux Powerpacks and a credential tester.Currently the SL1 solution does not support this scenario for Windows Servers.  I believe the same issue exists for Linux devices using the host resource power pack, but I do not have a ipv6 only Linux server to test this scenario.Both situations should fail to provide a port list as it requires Nmap -6 which is not supported in the solution.  I am not sure if the issue would fail on web checks, ssl certs, and other components in the system.Any help or experiences you have would be helpful as we navigate this issue.

Hi All, hoping someone here can help me out. I recently have been trying to make a small tweak to the python code for the out of the box silo_cisco_meraki_api Library from the Cisco: Meraki Powerpack (literally just changing one variable)I was able to get the Library downloaded, unpacked, extracted the individual .py file using 'wheel unpack [file]', made the change, and ran 'wheel pack [directory]'. The final step as outlined in this SL document is to re-package the python project using the command 'python3 -m pip download --find-links=. silo_cisco_meraki_api==0.6.10'. However, when I run this I'm getting the error:Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here? I'm guessing there's a very obvious step I'm missing.

Hello,We would like to upgrade SL1 user interface AP2 to latest "Espresso" 8.7.37-107 version for our ScienceLogic SL1 environment in SaaS environments.However the release note:https://support.sciencelogic.com/s/release-file/aBtVL0000000C1B0AU/espressoexplicitly mentions: NOTE: The AP2 Espresso RPM file does not support Aurora3 in an AWS environment.We do not see this constraint in earlier versions of "Doughnut" 8.6.30-103 and "Croissant" 8.5.7-56.Does anyone have info on support for newer AP2 in AWS environment for SaaS and what the way forward is?

Hi All,  I would like to know how customers are managing the unused powerpacks in their environments , because the recommendation is to delete the  unused powerpacks because it will create some load during nightly discovery process . In case if we delete those packs also after upgrade it re-appears into stacks. There is any plans to avoid this? 

Would like to see ScienceLogic consider the expansion of groups beyond (Device Groups) to include:Site Groups - a distinct site or location which may contain many devices matching a dynamic expression, a location-based attribute (for example lat/long), a portion of the device name, or also include static members.   For example, all devices with an attribute or name match of site ID = 1382 are part of site  Pekin, Illinois, US.Interface Groups - group of interfaces, for example, all interfaces matching a parent device name portion of name or description, or other set of conditions / expressions.   For example, all interfaces with "wan" in the name should be in the WAN Interfaces Group.Collection / DA Groups - group of collections across various devices by expression/condition.  For example, all IP SLA tests with "TEAMS" in the test tag name.
