Live Twitter Feeds in Text Widgets
Below is a fairly simple process to add any public facing twitter feed to widgets on a dashboard. Some use cases I hear a lot from customers is that they liketo see companies twitter feeds along their own service health dashboards because sometimes social media moves faster than status pages or email updates. This will all be done within a Text Widget. There is an option to utilize source code, we’ll be working in there. Make sure you have the frame of an HTML page set up, You can add any title you want. Tags with spaces will have sections added to them below. <html> <title> </title> <body> </body> </html> <script> </script> The first step is to go tohttps://publish.twitter.com/. Put in the URL of the profile you want,ex: twitter.com/Microsoft365, and select its embedded feed. The website will give you an <a class>HTML code to copy. Put the<a class>section into the <body>. It should look like this: <html> <title> </title> <body> <a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://twitter.com/Microsoft365?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">Tweets by Microsoft365</a> </body> </html> <script> </script> There will be a <script>portion of the copied code, paste that into a notepad and take it out of the above. We will be using it in the next section. Next, we need to navigate to that .js link in the <script> section, you should do this in a separate tab. That page will lead you to the full JS code. Copy that code and paste it into the <script> section in your HTML frame. It should look like this: <html> <title> </title> <body> <a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://twitter.com/Microsoft365?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">Tweets by Microsoft365</a> </body> </html> <script> JS Code here </script> From there, save and close the widget. If done correctly it should look like this (It may take a few seconds to load): Some helpful tips: Changing the widget refresh frequency also changes the feed update frequency Once created, the widget can be cloned and changed to another twitter handle with relative ease Usually goes alongside Dashboards for Health/Status Monitoring and can give additional context105Views15likes2CommentsExport Datetimes for Downtime in a Website Overview Report
For context, I'm a consumer of LogicMonitor csv/excel report exports only - I am required to aggregate my exports outside of LogicMonitor so I can use the availability data from our website endpoint checks to build Tableau Reports. Thus, it would be incredibly helpful to my organization if I could obtain an export (csv/excel) from LogicMonitor that contained all webservices downtime (NOT aggregated and reported as ##h ##m ##s) with datetimes for each period of missed polls (downtime). For example, each line in the spreadsheet contain the endpoint details and the start/stop time. For periods of flapping, each there would be multiple lines for the same endpoint, each with their own start and end times. Knowing when downtime is occurring AND knowing if it occurred during a scheduled maintenance period are essential pieces of information necessary to advance availability reporting for our cloud applications and ensure we maintain our SLA (which discounts application downtime for planned maintenance). I draw out my data daily, via a website overview report that excludes SDT from the reported downtime in a csv export.6Views0likes0CommentsThree hosts, one service check?
Hi, I have a datasource that uses a regex to pull values out of some JSON and graphs numerous values. This runs onmultiple hosts and the host goes critical if a particular value hits 0. I don't want the individual servers to go critical, I'd like a service/website check to go critical if two out of three sites return the zero value in their JSON response. I can write a datasource to check the JSON from each site but then I have to apply it to a host, or multiple hosts, and that defeats the point as I don't care if a single one goes away. Is it possible to create a website check that takes in the JSON, extracts the data required, then passes it on to be used in another step which checks the next site, can I alert on values within the response? Is this even the right way to do it? It would be great if a datasource could be run from a collector group rather than tied to a specific host!21Views0likes2CommentsWeb Service Monitoring Response Time Graphed by Step
Hi Would it be possible to get web service response recorded and graphable by step as well as having the overall figure? We have a number of service monitors that, whist an graphing them, an overview figure is useful, it would be very useful to also know the response time from each step incase it is a particular step of the service monitor service that is slow. Regards Martyn12Views0likes1Commentweb service token to include the step
Alert messages for services lack the ability to insert a token which would include the step. Currently, it's only possible to insert the root url, but when checking multiple web services, the "step" is critical in identifying the issue. As a workaround, I've named the service the full path to the web service and while that works, it renders them illegible in service view.2Views0likes0CommentsGathering the Windows Service Packs
The data sources below will gather the service packs from Windows Servers and alert if the system is not on the latest service pack. As newservice packs are released, you will need to update the alerting level. Since you do this manually, it gives you the opportunity on when to start alerting, or you can set it to the latest to create a list of servers in your organization that need upgrading. 2003 -CLDJYT 2008 -TYAYTD 2008 R2 -97DY2F 2012-HMKPFL 2012 R2 -W2HKGR 2016 -YZWNTM5Views1like2CommentsServices on the Map Widget
It would be good to be able to combine device and service alert status on the same Google Map Widget. Use case: Offices are distributedaround Europe, and a large number of retail stores (100+) are also being monitored using ICMP Services. By having both on the same map, it is possible to visualise the entire European operations.6Views0likes0Comments##STEP## variable in service alert templates
We would like to see a ##STEP## variable in the template. It is difficult to determine which part of the site is down by reading the email alert. Current variables in Services Overall Alert template are: Subject ##LEVEL## - ##SERVICE## gets ##VALUE## in ##CHECKPOINT## since ##START## Body Service: ##SERVICE## Checkpoint: ##CHECKPOINT## Description: ##DETAIL## There is the ##URL## variable but it only reflects the main page, not any of the steps.1View0likes0Comments
