- You can now select up to four child accounts, and view their respective data in the visual components.
- You can now view the Cumulative Usage for usage data in a bar graph format. You can select and deselect child accounts to view this data in the bar graph as needed.
To access these enhancements, navigate to Settings > Usage.
For more information, see Usage Reporting in the product documentation.
Release of LogicMonitor OpenTelemetry Collector 3.0.00
LogicMonitor OpenTelemetry Collector (lmotel) has been updated to version 3.0.00 for application performance monitoring. This release includes the following updates:
- Improved the exchange of API secrets with LogicMonitor backend.
- Added SBOM for third parties consumed in LogicMonitor OpenTelemetry Collector (lmotel).
- LogicMonitor now uses OpenTelemetry Collector Contrib version 0.72.0. For more information, see OpenTelemetry Collector Contrib version 0.72.0 from OpenTelemetry.
- Removed loggingexporter from the default config.
- Updated the sampling percentage of probabilisticsamplingprocessor to 10 and added it to traces in the default config.
- Added support for Filter Processor.
For more information, see OpenTelemetry Collector Versions in the product documentation.
Enhancement to LogicMonitor Customer Alert Email Delivery Integration
LogicMonitor now verifies all the email addresses added for receiving custom email alert delivery. After adding a new email address to receive LogicMonitor alert emails, an email is sent to the newly added email address with a verification link to verify the email address. The verification link is valid only for 24 hours from the time of receiving the email. If an email address is not verified, the LogicMonitor custom emails will not be sent to that email address.
For more information see Custom Email Delivery in the product documentation.
General Updates
Modules
Enhancements
- Improved Audit Log message formatting to increase readability and comprehension.
Fixed Issues
- Fixed an issue that caused data to be omitted from the Audit Logs after a module was updated from the Exchange.
Netscan
Enhancements
- Advanced script Netscans now supports adding scripts in batches.
New UI
Disclaimer: The new UI preview is currently in Beta. In the coming weeks, this beta will be made available for all users. For more information, see New UI Overview in the product documentation. To gain access to the new UI preview, contact Customer Success.
Enhancements
- There is now an icon to indicate when a resource is no longer being monitored. You can also click on the icon to re-enable monitoring if needed – similar to the alert generation disabled icon.
- The alert duration is now included in an alert. The Report At field displays the elapsed time within parentheses if the alert is still in-progress. If the alert has been cleared, this time will show the length of alert was active for both the alerts table and the detail panel.
Fixed Issues
- The alert generation disabled icon should be displayed on the LogicModule Group node on the Resource Tree when the parent alert is disabled and cascaded.
- In the Resources Raw Data tab, ReportedAt time when downloading raw data to CSV now has the correct format (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm).
- In the Resources Graphs tab, information will now display as expected when a future custom time range is selected.
- Suppressed alerts that have a suppression type of ADS or Dependency now have a slashed icon through the severity, similar to how they appear for dynamic thresholds.
- In Resource Dashboards, the Graph title now displays the instance name and datasource name as expected.
- Fixed the following issues in Service Insights Member Alerts:
- When the “##ALERTDETAILURL##” token was added to the list of columns for display it was not populating correctly and resulted in a blank value.
- When you refresh the page, columns would disappear, requiring them to be added again.
Settings
Fixed Issues
- In Settings > User Access > Users & Roles > Roles, if you have more than one role assigned to a user and select “Configs tab only visible with Manage permissions” in any of the roles, then the user will only be able to see the Config tab of resources that the user has Manage permissions for. For more information, see Roles in the product documentation.

Looking Ahead
In this section, you will find announcements about upcoming beta features, updates about ongoing beta features, and information about the end-of-support for existing features.
Deprecation of VNC and Telnet Remote Session Options
We deprecated VNC and Telnet to provide more secure alternatives for remote access; such as SSH, RDP, HTTP, and HTTPS. Existing users will continue to see these options until April 2024. Contact your Customer Success Manager if you need help migrating to other remote session types.
For more information, see Remote Session in the product documentation.
Migration of LogicModules from Settings to Modules
In a future release, LogicModules will no longer be available from Settings. You can access the Exchange, My Module Toolbox, and all settings for managing modules from Modules in the navigation bar.
For more information, see Modules Overview in the product documentation.
Datapoint Analysis
Disclaimer: This feature is currently in Beta. Enterprise customers that are currently active in the New UI Beta are eligible to participate.
You can now view additional correlated metrics that are related to a numeric metric in alert. The new Datapoint Analysis feature will pull in relevant datapoints that are highly correlated to the alerting datapoint, and generates a correlation score. This correlation score is calculated based on datapoints retrieved by several different strategies like datapoints from the same instance. The higher the correlation score for a particular datapoint, the more correlated that datapoint is to the datapoint associated with the alert.
Auditing Functionality for Import from Repository Deprecation
In a future release of LogicMonitor, the ability to audit a module when importing it from the repository (the “Legacy Import/Update Process”) will be removed. You can accomplish this same functionality using the Skip feature in My Module Toolbox. For more information, see Modules Management in the Product Documentation.
