Azure monitoring and integration with CMDB
When gathering information from cloud stuff, or actually doing whatever with cloud staff you most often need the object's ID, that long hexastring. That same ID is also most used identifier and required information when trying to sync those cloud "devices" into ServiceNow CMDB. The issue is that SL1 Azure PP does not gather that information too much, one device class that we have so far found it is those actual VMs in cloud. But one could say that those are the only "devices" where it is easily found. So my question is, how you have planned, or done, the CMDB integration of Azure cloud stuff. Or have you done any automation from SL1 to Azure, because also there one always(?) need that object ID. I could have written also an Idea for this, but at least for me, Nexus does not support my ideas.Solved99Views0likes2CommentsCisco Unified Communications Manager 14 EOL and 15 Upgrade tips slides from Cisco Live
Hello all! I'm sure some of you are at Cisco Live NAM right now, but if you aren't, there was a great presentation on CUCM. CentOS is being swapped out, CUCM 15 appears to be switching to Python 3, along with other security changes. They've announced an EOL date for CUCM 14 as well. Take a look at the slide deck as it's very interesting. Their product team also informed me that the API is unchanged from v12.5 through CUCM 15, so our integration should continue to work. Please let us know if you have any issues with the latest version of our PowerPack and CUCM 15.Solved1.2KViews2likes1CommentDell EMC: Unity v103 Py3 PowerPack Release Notification

You can specify multiple Dynamic Application IDs, separated by commas. If the credential_id parameter is not specified, SL1 will use the dynamic_app_guid parameter to determine the credential. If this value is not specified, or if it is an empty string, SL1 runs a query against the database to get the credential details. The default value for this parameter corresponds to the GUID value in the "Linux: Configuration Discovery" Dynamic Application. Enabled passwordless sudo access on the client being monitored to ensure that run book automations that use sudo in the commands work as expected. For more information, see the "Configuring Linux Devices" topic in the Linux SSH Automations PowerPack manual. Removed the write_password_after_command parameter from the "Execute Shell Commands" custom action type.

Hello all! We are working on an update to the HPE Edge Connect PowerPack that converts the dynamic applications to use the snippet framework. This will improve supportability, simplify troubleshooting, improve performance, and make it easier to customize the collections to suit your needs. As part of this, we are considering dropping support for "cookie" auth and requiring users to use API keys to connect SL1 to the Edge Connect Orchestrator. If you have a use case that precludes using an API key for this integration, please reach out and help us understand your parameters. Thanks!Solved24Views0likes1CommentCisco Intersight PPK - metrics?

We are pleased to announce that the HPE Edge Connect v200 Py3 PowerPack has been released. The download for this release can be found on the Support Portal under the PowerPack filename: https://support.sciencelogic.com/s/release-version/aBu0z000000XZaHCAW/hpe-edge-connect-silver-peak Enhancements and Issues Addressed: Updated the PowerPack to be compatible with Python 3 Converted all Dynamic Applications to Python 3. Added two new Dynamic Applications to the PowerPack: HPE: Edge Connect Appliance Memory Performance HPE: Edge Connect Appliance CPU Performance NOTE: Both of the "HPE: Edge Connect Appliance Memory Performance" and "HPE: Edge Connect Appliance CPU Performance" Dynamic Applications are disabled by default. Enabling the "HPE: Edge Connect Appliance CPU Performance" Dynamic Application may cause performance issues on the orchestrator due to the Dynamic Application calling the API for each appliance device. Removed the "REST: Performance Monitor" Dynamic Application from the PowerPack, as it is not compatible with the Snippet Framework. IMPORTANT: Before upgrading to version 200 of the PowerPack, ScienceLogic recommends unaligning the "REST: Performance Monitor" Dynamic Application from existing root virtual devices. Added the new "HPE: Edge Connect v200 API Key" UCF subtype to the PowerPack. Added the new "HPE: Edge Connect API Key Example (UCF)" example credential to the PowerPack. Added a function to the snippet of each Dynamic Application in the PowerPack that checks for an API token in the headers. If one is found, you will receive a warning that instructs you to move the token to the "Embedded Password [%P]" field. NOTE: ScienceLogic does not recommend storing tokens in plain text fields, as this goes against security best practices.

The download for this release can be found on the Support Portal under the PowerPack filename: https://support.sciencelogic.com/s/release-version/aBu0z000000XZalCAG/docker The following enhancements and addressed issues are included this release: Updated the PowerPack to be compatible with Python 3.6 (SOL-27653) Addressed an issue that caused the "Docker: Host Device Class Realignment" run book action to activate incorrectly in certain situations. As part of the fix for this issue: The "Docker: Hosts and Swarm Cluster realignment to CU id of the leader node" event policy will only be triggered by the leader node. If one or more nodes are not discovered, they will not be taken into account when deciding whether to trigger the event. The run book action now uses the IP address instead of the hostname to read the cache, because the cache is saved using the IP address. (Case: 00424553) (SOL-27032) Added the "Docker Template Example" device template that you can apply to root (Docker Host) Docker devices if the required Dynamic Applications fail to align automatically during discovery. (SOL-1427) Made several modifications to example credentials in the PowerPack.
