General Updates
Alerting
Enhancements
- You can now manage datapoint threshold levels at the instance group and instance level. By default, new instances inherit the properties of the instance group.
Container Monitoring
Enhancements
- You can now see several new resources such as Jobs, Deployments, and ReplicaSets in your Kubernetes topology map.
- Updated the cluster overview dashboard to include resource usage charts such as CPU and Memory used by the pods and the nodes in the cluster.
- Added new dashboards for tracking pods and nodes metrics.
Cloud Monitoring
Enhancements
- Updated Cloud Common Library to 7.0.0.
- Added BurstBalance to the AWS_RDS datasource.
- Added monitoring for replication lag time for Azure Site Recovery.
- Made improvements to the Azure Recovery Protected Items auto properties.
- Added basic properties for data backups and recovery in Azure.
- Added support for data collection and monitoring in Azure China regions. These regions will only be available for accounts that are valid in China and have a China Subscription ID.
- Added support for discovering and monitoring AWS Transfer Family servers using the LM AWS Integration.
Bug Fixes
- Corrected handling of BytesReceivedRate in Microsoft_Azure_NetworkInterface datasource to correctly show the data.
- Fixed an issue that prevented Azure Databricks were from being discovered or monitored.
- Fixed an issue where the Basic Info fields were not populating for AWS and Azure Info tabs.
- For auto-deleted cloud resources, alerting is now disabled before deletion to ensure that open alerts clear, rather than remaining open with no closure options after the resource is deleted.
LM Logs
Enhancements
- You can now create log pipelines and log alert conditions from the logs action menu. For more information, see Log Processing Pipelines and Log Alert Conditions in the product documentation.
- You can now use a Stop button on the Logs page to stop long-running queries. For more information, see Logs Query Language.
Bug Fixes
- Log pipeline queries did not generate log alerts if the query included a resource group.
- LogSources did now import from the repository when safe import was disabled.
NetScan
Enhancements
- Unmonitored hosts associated with a Netscan execution are now removed when the execution record is removed. Previously, other delete actions would unexpectedly fail due to the lingering unmonitored host records.
REST API
Enhancements
- Fixed the issue where GET/santaba/rest/alert/alerts endpoint displayed inconsistent results. For more information, see Using LogicMonitor’s REST API.
SaaS Monitoring
Enhancements
- The output from the Zoom Room API is now stored in Redis cache, which resolves the 429: too many request error that was occurring.
Topology
Enhancements
- When clicking Explore Maps from the Maps tab in a Resource page or viewing the Maps tab on individual alerts, your context and map progress is now saved. This makes it easier to troubleshoot with the topology map when using an alert as the entry point. Previously it would reset when navigating to the main mapping canvas from one of these tabs.
- The Mapping page now shows more information about each saved map and makes it easier for you to quickly switch between saved maps. For more information, see Saved Maps.
- You can now view port-level information on the topology map when clicking on Network-type edges. For more information, see Interface Mapping.

Deprecated LogicModules
The following table lists LogicModules that we are deprecating in this release. This means that these LogicModules will be removed in a future release. If available, a replacement LogicModule is listed. For the history of deprecated modules, see Deprecated LogicModules.
LogicModule Name Deprecated/Replacement | Details | End of Support Date |
Deprecated: PaloAlto_SDWAN_Elements PaloAlto_SDWAN_Site_Performance PaloAlto_SDWAN_Site_WANLinkQuality PaloAlto_SDWAN_WatchDog addCategory_PaloAlto_SDWAN addERI_PaloAlto_SDWAN PaloAlto_SDWAN_SiteEvents PaloAlto_SDWAN_Topology Replacement: SNMP_Network_Interfaces SNMP_Host_Uptime snmpTCPUDP | LogicMonitor deprecated the recently released PaloAlto SD-WAN package because it failed to meet our quality standards. Recommendation: Use LogicMonitor’s native SNMP capabilities to monitor Palo Alto Network Prisma SD-WAN Instant-On (“ION”) devices (formerly Cloudgenix). LogicMonitor is actively assessing how to leverage Palo Alto Networks’ Unified SASE SD-WAN API to deliver complementary, additional monitoring value to Prisma SD-WAN customers and partners. | September 22, 2022 |
Deprecated: Office365_SharepointOnline_TenantConfig | Sharepoint does not support the new required app-only authentication. | September 30, 2022 |
