Good morning ScienceLogic Community, with the rapid adoption of Artificial Intelligence I am seeing a lot of GPU's being deployed and since these GPU's are not cheap there are lots of people asking if they can be monitored. Anyone monitoring GPU's already?Thanks. Jason.

OK.  So I'm fairly new to modifying events in SL1, but our NOC has requested that we research suppressing the "Poller: Interface operationally down" event if "Poller: Interface Admin down" is active on a given interface.  That makes perfect sense to me.  If an interface is admin down, then there is absolutely no need for the operationally down event/alert.  Other tools I have administered in the past had this logic baked in out of the box, but that doesn't seem to be the case with SL1.  I looked at using the Autoclear option for the Admin down event to have it clear the operationally down message, but I'd much rather just not have the operationally down event trigger at all if the interface is admin down.Any thoughts on how to get this configured?  Thank you.

I'm working on building out a dashboard for IPSLA tests.  I'd like one widget for the devices that drives another widget showing a list of the IPSLA tests on the selected device.  I'd then like to have the widget with the list of tests drive the widget with the line graph visualization.  Should be simple, right?  The issue I'm running in to is with the widget for the list of IPSLA tests.  If I select a Table visualization, it only shows one of the tests configured on the selected device.  If I select a Configuration Table visualization, it shows a list of all of the tests on the selected device.  The problem is that the Configuration Table visualization does not support driving other widgets (like the one with the line graph visualization).Any thoughts on how to make this work?  Thanks. 

Hi,We have moved away from using the ISadmin account for Skylar Automate. Instead of the we using a SSO integration for the users and for integrations the API-Key possibilities.Looking at Skylar AutomationPowerPack v108 I can't see the option to use an API-Key in the SOAP/XML credential. My questions:Did I overlooked something?If not, how can we implement the API-Key?I think the usage of API-Key is applicable for more ScienceLogic clients.Thanks in advance.Alfred   

How can we do the Event Log Monitoring for Window machines.

Hi everyone — tomorrow we’re opening up a two-hour AMA focused on real-world IT operations: the challenges you’re facing today, the shifts coming with automation and AI, and what modern observability looks like as environments keep getting more complex. We’d love for you to join us at noon, Eastern, Thursday, Dec 4 here: https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/1pd8den/we_work_on_observability_and_automation_at/ You’re the experts running ScienceLogic in the wild and we’d love to hear your voice as part of the conversation. It will be interesting to hear from the broader sysadmin community which includes more than two million subreddit members. We expect to see the full range of ops experience levels, complexity and scale, large streamlined monitoring teams, and admin armies of one. Swing by and say hello, we look forward to seeing you there. And of course, Jared and I took AMA selfies.  

 Regarding latest release vSphere PowerPack v309vSphere version 6.7.0 is supporting and working fine with the current running Vcenter base pack version v308, But the latest Vcenter base pack version 309 will not support vSphere version 6.7.0. (below 7)Hence with this how how we can proceed with upgrade to v309. Please suggest.

Is there somewhere documentation that explains tables in event_insight database.We would like to understand what are the alert_type and alert_category values used there. This database could be really interesting place to find for example alert statistics per organization or the noisiest collectors etc. Those things are otherwise pretty difficult to find.

Whether it is possible to monitor the runbook schedules ? We have some critical run book which used to run every day , some times it not running , we need an alert for this.

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?

I am looking for a way to set a filter on Dashboard widget. This would be very helpful in use of it in my dashboards.

When creating automation policy, there is an option for selecting the Organization for where it "belongs", but still one needs to select devices from the device list, otherwise there is "no devices in organization" in Aligned Devices list.What about the situation where the device list can be pretty dynamic, like clouds. So devices come and go?Is the official method then to use device groups for that kind of alignment? Or are there other ways to enable RBA for organization's all devices.

As you may have noticed Microsoft have stopped including the SNMP service by default on server builds and only supports SNMP v2 natively. In this ever increasing world of security exploits, SNMP v2 is seen as insecure and a liability to run on all but air gapped networks, so why is the ScienceLogic preferred way of monitoring Windows Services still using SNMP?The SNMP Service monitoring allows you to monitor just the services of choice, unlike the blunderbuss PowerShell approach (where if the service is set to Automatic start-up and not running, it alerts). A 2am called out for a clipboard service outage and some grumpy emails in my inbox, and I'm inclined to agree with the very grumpy DBA that it is not ideal.Can we get some motion on sorting out the PowerShell monitoring, so that regardless of how we collect the service statuses we can alert consistently? 

Hi All,It is possible to automatically remove the collectors from CUG if the cpu/memory have reached above 90 % . The failover of devices should work with the performance of DC load as well ,not only down.

Hi All,  Why in SL1 we have two credential type universal and native SOAP /XML where we discover via the respective SDN technology ?What is recommended ones , when we create universal we can assign only to system ORG.
