Is there a way to check who is logged into SL1 at any time?

I was reading kb article https://support.sciencelogic.com/s/article/8788 and was not sure if this affected all platform versions.Is logrotate.status an issue in 12.2.1?

Regarding the recent CrowdStrike Falcon XDR/EPP incident:  A content patch caused Windows-based systems to crash. CrowdStrike has identified and addressed the issue.  ScienceLogic products are unaffected.  Our Linux-based appliances are not impacted by this Windows-specific issue.  Your ScienceLogic products continue to operate normally.

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. 

Microsoft has the option of building a Database Availability Group without an IP, called IP-Less DAGIt uses a broadcast IP, default 255.255.255.255Is there a way the MS Cluster PPPK can monitor this type of DAG?

Two SL1 API's ,   Devices  and  Events wants to integrate with google chronicle. How this can be done. Any suggestions please.  Is there any authentication required with token or how this works.

Hi All, There is any plans from to implement the grouping for interfaces .i:e  I need to group the interface where the alias name contains or starts with MSP . Basically this will help for reporting , dashboarding and applying template only to specific set of interfaces.

Hi All,I would like do some orchestration task from Sl1. Eg: I have a webserver A where if the  File system reaches above 95%  we used to get an alert from SL .  With the  help of RBA i need to trigger a task saying that if the alert is trigger from websever A , just shutdown the server Apache. There is any OOB method to do this ? Or we need to write the script to trigger ?

This is an annotated version of the Lua device control script that was shown in last week's PowerHour about Restorepoint automation.The objective was to connect to a Cisco IOS device, identify any GigabitEthernet interfaces whose current MTU was >1500, and then configure those interfaces to use an MTU of 1500.  We can do this by running the "show interfaces" command and processing the output. Here is the script I described during the PowerHour: timeout (10)-- Run the "show interfaces" command, collect the output, and store that output -- as a list of text lines.sendget("show interfaces","#")output = before()lines=splitlines(output)-- Start looping through the output lines. for i,line in pairs(lines) do-- Look for lines like "InterfaceName is up|down, line protocol is up|down".   if line:match(".* is [a-z]+, line protocol is [a-z]+") then-- When we find one, save the interface name as intf.      intf=line:match("^(.*) is [a-z]+, line protocol is [a-

 Cisco: Power Supply problem. Currently, Power Supply (TenGigabitEthernet */*/* Supply Voltage Sensor) status: unavailable Alerts from Cat9500FixedSwitchStackThis 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.

Starting the process over converting our Python2 PowerPacks to Python3. I created a Python3 Execution Environment, but there was not a ScienceLogic Silo library for python3 to add. Does this need to be download from SL and imported? Or do I use Py2 Library?Without this library in my Dynamic Application it wont be able to interact with SL1.
