ScienceLogic 12.1 /gql endpoint displays incorrect contract for updateDevice(s)
When using the GraphiQL interface, you can see which GraphQL operations are available. Under 'Mutation', the operation "updateDevice" and "updateDevices" exists, which allow you to modify device properties via API. Using the normal Device Investigater Settings UI screen, we can change the SNMP Read dropdown value to whatever value we like (including 'none' to empty it), but the GQL contract does not show this option. Upon examining the action, ther browser shows that the properties "snmpReadCredentials" and "snmpReadWriteCredential" are used to update these values. I tried entering that same command in the /GQL and confirms it works; it's just showing an error in the syntax: Query: mutation UpdateDeviceSettings($deviceId: ID!, $snmpReadCredential: ID, $snmpReadWriteCredential: ID) { updateDevice(id: $deviceId, snmpReadCredential: $snmpReadCredential, snmpReadWriteCredential: $snmpReadWriteCredential) { id snmpReadCredential { id } } } Variables: { "deviceId": "10104", "snmpReadCredential": null, "snmpReadWriteCredential": null } Result: { "data": { "updateDevice": { "id": "10104", "snmpReadCredential": null } } } Error: Unknown argument: "snmpReadCredential" on diels "Mutations.updateDevice". Can this be corrected please?This week's updates to the Doc sites at docs.sciencelogic.com
11/1/24: Doc updates to the release notes site at https://docs.sciencelogic.com/release_notes_html/ Added release notes forSL1 12.2.4, which includes: Updates to the Access Logs page Package updates Numerous support defect fixes Updated the release notes for all currently supported versions of SL1 with new guidance regarding future Python 2 support deprecation. 11/1/24 Doc updates to the main docs site at https://docs.sciencelogic.com/ Updated the Discovery & Credentials manual to reflect changes made to credentials and the Credentials page in recent AP2 releases. Updated the Business Services manual to reflect updates made to the Service Investigator and Business Services pages in recent AP2 releases. Updated the Dashboards manual to include details about the ability to select different scale prefixes for Dashboard widgets using non-percentage-based metrics introduced in AP2 Gelato. Updated the "Global Manager System and Technical Requirements" section of the Global Manager manual to specify that Global Manager stacks and all of its child stacks must run on the same SL1 build version, as well as the same versions of AP2 and Oracle Linux. Updated the "Installing and Configuring SL1 PowerFlow" chapter of the SL1 PowerFlow Platform manual to add missing steps and correct issues with the "Configuring a Proxy Server" and "Installing from the RPM File" sections. Added a new appendix to the section on "Access Permissions" that lists all of the Access Hooks that are available in SL1.No documentation on how to logon/logoff when using gql directly
The documentation about the ScienceLogic GraphQL API only mentions a login procedure when using the /gql endpoint. There is no information about how to log on (or log off) on the ScienceLogic platform and then use the API. Link to the documentation: https://docs.sciencelogic.com/latest/Content/Web_Content_Dev_and_Integration/GraphQL_API/graphql_introduction.htm#authentication-and-user-access For Logon, I have found a way to achieve this: execute a GET request to <platformURI>/authenticate with basic authentication, using a valid SL1 Local user information. From the response received, save the cookie information for later Any subsequent call to the /gql endpoint (inserting the cookie information on each request) allows me to execute gql queries/mutations. I can also reuse that same cookie information if I want to execute REST API actions. However, I do not succeed in 'forcing' a logoff from my previously created session: whatever I do, my session remains active and usable in the System > Monitor > Audit Logs. Only when I explicitly kill the session in that screen is my session invalid and I must login again. Can this be added to the documentation please?This week's updates to the Doc sites at docs.sciencelogic.com

Hello, It seems the procedure for manual upgrading the MariaDB on collectors has changed since SL 12. The procedure however has not been updated. Location: https://docs.sciencelogic.com/latest/Content/Web_Admin_and_Accounts/System_Administration/sys_admin_system_upgrade.htm#manually-upgrading-standalone-database-servers-all-in-one-applia In fact, the manual mariadb upgrade on SL 12 is no longer supported and executing the procedure will make the collector unusuable.Request documentation update on SNMP Traps
The latest ScienceLogic documentation still has sections to execute when you are still using SL1 8 or 10. They can be removed from the documentation as it causes confusion Link to the docs: https://docs.sciencelogic.com/latest/Content/Web_Events_and_Automation/Syslogs_and_Traps/snmp_traps.htm#manually-configuring-snmpv3-trapsThis week's updates to the Doc sites at docs.sciencelogic.com
