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.

I'm looking for information on internal tie-breaking logic when multiple event policies match the same event and have the same weight.  From what I have read, this logic is typically based on policy ID or creation order - but which way ?   oldest wins OR newest wins ?My team have a set up meant to handle VMware events (API) differently based on the Organization.  However they are doing this using device groups in the suppression tab which isn't effective if the event match is the same.

  When is the 12.5.2 release is planned? We need to sort the below mentioned issue . Any tentative dates?https://support.sciencelogic.com/s/article/19184 

Py2 libraries are not removed automatically after upgrade 12.5.1 upgrade. 

Hi All, Anyone upgraded the Skylar one to 12.5.1 ? Looks like the new feature Enhanced Topology process is not working for us .. is it for anyone else as well?

Hi to all, we configured a Global Manager in our QA env for 2 stacks but there is something that it's not really clear to me.The global manager is not capable to manage PP on the stacks (in AP2 UI there is any menu entry for PP), is not capable to retrieve device groups defined on the stacks, is not capable to retrieve device class from the stack, is not possible create device groups and add devices monitored by the stacks.My first question is: how can we create a dashboard that can filter panels based on custom device group?

The process Process 'Update Device State' has a default frequency of 1 min, but we have a large number of device groups, over a thousand, i see this every minute 'already running, not starting, proc name Update Device State' And after a few minutes it then sends a signal 15, and terminals the process 'Process Update Device State has caught signal 15 and is exiting.'I'm wondering whats the implications if i change the time factor to allow the process to run longer, or if there is an limitation to the number of device groups that should be allowed?     

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.

Hello Nexus Community Members,  Just a note that the SL team is observing the US Holiday Thanksgiving today and tomorrow. Our Product Managers & Subject Matter Expert's (SME's) will be back online on Monday.  Thank you for all of your great participation, I really enjoy seeing the discussions going on. There is so much great information, best practices and ideas being shared amongst our customers and employees.  Best Regards, Sara 

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.

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. 

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.
