Feature Highlights
New APC Netshelter Rack Power Distribution Unit Advanced Modules
You can now use new modules for monitoring APC Netshelter 10000 Series Rack Power Distribution Unit Advanced devices including per-outlet power usage.
General Updates
Cloud Monitoring
See resource usage by type in Account Information
You can now see cloud resource usage in the Account Information area of LogicMonitor. Navigate to Resources > Cloud Resources to view IaaS, PaaS, or Non-compute resources.
Azure Service Bus now supports Queue and Topic level instance discovery
You can now show Service Bus metrics at a Queue and Topic level with a multi-instance datasource. The new datasource displays the same metrics as overall, dimensioned to the specific queue or topic instance.
- Queue level multi-instance datasource: Microsoft_Azure_ServiceBusQueue
- Topic level multi-instance datasource: Microsoft_Azure_ServiceBusTopic
Collector Settings
GD Collector 35.001 was released on February 13, 2024. For more information, see the GD Collector 35.001 Release Notes.
Identity and Access
Maximum Password Length Limit
With this release, the maximum password length is set to 256 characters.
Note: The maximum password length change applies to the new and existing users when they update or change the password.
LM Logs
Mapping Azure logs with LM Portal
You can now use the Azure_Account_Name field to indicate the Azure Account name from the LM portal, which can be retrieved from the system.displayname field in the Cloud Account Info tab. Use this field to establish mapping between the Azure account Logs and Cloud account resource of LM portal.
Resources
Added undo action
When the resource is moved to recently deleted items and not permanently deleted, you can select undo from the snackbar and restore the resource.
Fixed Issues
Fixed an issue that prevented error details from displaying in the Poll Now window in Resources UIv4.
Topology
Node Grouping for Saved Maps
You can now group nodes based on a specific set of properties such as Account, Cluster, Node, Namespace, Provider, and so on.
Note: This feature is only available for Saved Maps. For more information, see Saved Maps in the product documentation.
Added Cisco Meraki IoT Sensor Topology Icon
While monitoring Cisco Meraki IoT Sensors, you can now visually identify the sensors on the topology maps. If there is any change in temperature, moisture, water, and power, you will receive alerts for them.
