Navigating the Resources Page

Last updated on 09 September, 2024

All of your monitored devices and cloud resources are managed from the Resources page. The Resources page consists of the Navigation Panel on the left and the Detail Panel on the right.

Resources page

Note: If you haven’t added any devices to your account, see Adding Devices.

Navigation Panel

Resources are displayed in a Navigation Panel on the left side of the Resources page. The Navigation Panel has two views, represented by tabs:

  • Resources— The device view, or Resources Tree, which displays your resources in a hierarchical, folder-based view.
  • Favorites— Customized list of your most frequently viewed groups, hosts, cloud resources, DataSources, or instances.

Resources Tab

Use the Resources tab to search, navigate, and identify relationships between the resources in your LogicMonitor account.

  1. Search Tree to search for resources by keyword.
  2. Filter resources based on alert status, collector status, or scheduled down time status.
  3. Sort resources by Alphabetical A-Z, Alphabetical Z-A, or By Alert Severity.

The following section describes some of the common navigation tools available in the Resources Tree.

Element / ActionDescription
Navigation arrowsExpands or contracts the resource in the Resources Tree. Resources in the Resources Tree can be expanded or collapsed like ordinary file folders. Using the right and down-facing arrows, you can open and close elements (groups, resources, or multi-instance DataSources) to view its contents.

Note: Clicking a navigation arrow does not change the view in the Detail Panel.
Resource icon/nameSelecting the resource icon or name opens the resource in the Detail Panel.

ResizeThe right border of the Resources Tree can be adjusted (drag) to widen or narrow the view. Widths between 300 and 1000 pixels are supported.

Search and Search Categories

You can limit your search results by specifying a search category. When you use a search category, only the resources for that specified category are returned. Resources that do not match the category are ignored.

Note: When searching a resource with a space in the name, use double quotes to contain the name (for example, “My Resource”).

search categories page

The following search categories are available:

SearchCategoryDescription
Groupg:Search group names for a keyword match.
Deviced:Search device (resource) and cloud resource names for a keyword match.
DataSourceds:Search DataSource names for a keyword match.
Instancei:Search Instance names for a keyword match.

Note: If you specify two or more keywords for the same category, the criteria will logically be interpreted with an OR. For example,  g:DEV g:AWS  will return device groups containing DEV or AWS in their names. If you specify two or more keywords for different categories, the criteria will logically be interpreted with an AND. For example,  g:AWS ds:EBS  will return DataSources that contain EBS in their names and are members of groups that contain AWS in their names.

Resource Status Filters

The following filters are available on the Resources tab:

IconDescription
Critical
Error
Warning
Disabled Alert
Dead Resources
Dead Collectors
SDT Status

Note: Filters are applied to the active view (focus) of the Resources Tree. For example, if the Resources Tree is currently focused on a single device group, only resources from that group are displayed.

Resource Types

An icon is displayed next to each resource to help identify the resource type (device, cloud resource, group, dynamic group, instance, or module). Hover over any icon in the Resources Tree to display its description.

IconDescription
Root
Group
Dynamic Group
Host
Logic Module Group
DataSource
Instance
AWS
Azure
GCP

Note: To access Services resources, use the Services option on the LogicMonitor menu.

Change Group Membership

You can drag-and-drop resources or groups to change their group membership:

  • Dragging a resource to a group adds the resource to that group.
  • Dragging a group to another group creates a sub-group.
  • Dragging a resource to another resource creates a new group that includes both resources.

Note: This functionality is not available for dynamic groups as dynamic group membership is automated and cannot be manually determined. For more information on device groups, see Device Groups Overview.

Unmonitored Resources

Unmonitored Resources displays the resources that have been added, but are not currently being monitored.

Recently Deleted Items

Deleted resources are shown in Recently Deleted Items. After seven days, the resource is permanently deleted and removed from Recently Deleted Items.
