LogicMonitor Pack Setup for the StackStorm Integration
Last updated on 04 September, 2024Setting up the LogicMonitor Pack involves downloading and installing it from the StackStorm Exchange, and then configuring the Pack to enable communication with your LogicMonitor portal.
Communication between the LogicMonitor Portal and the LogicMonitor Pack uses the LM Python SDK, a REST API that enables you to manage your environment programmatically. See LogicMonitor REST API for more information. To enable this communication, you must include LogicMonitor API information in the LogicMonitor Pack’s configuration file and then register the Pack with StackStorm.
For more information about Packs, see StackStorm’s Packs documentation.
Requirements
To configure the LogicMonitor Pack, you need a LogicMonitor API Token from your LogicMonitor portal. For more information, see API Tokens.
Recommendation: Associate a LogicMonitor user with the minimum required permissions for your API Token. See “File Permissions and User Role Considerations” in General Requirements and Considerations for the StackStorm Integration.
