ScienceLogic Plugin

Purpose

The ScienceLogic plugin gives the possibility to send metrics, alarms and metadata to the ScienceLogic platform

Once active, this plugin will collect all generated alerts and metrics and regularly post them to ScienceLogic

It is possible to define several ScienceLogic plugins, for example if a secondary collector is in place.

Configuration

As a prerequisites, the SAP Powerpack must be installed in ScienceLogic platform

From the plugin menu, select ScienceLogic type and create the plugin, this will open plugin configuration screen

Fill the plugin settings form:

Enabled: To enable or disable the plugin

Name: The name of the plugin to display in the list of plugins

Host: The hostname of the target ScienceLogic collector

Port: The listening port of the ScienceLogic SAP powerpack agent

User/Password: Credentials for the SAP powerpack API

Secure Mode*: To set if HTTPS connection must be used (see below for more information

Device state synchronization: If active, Pro.Monitor will detect when a device is set in maintenance mode in ScienceLogic and automatically pause and resume the monitoring.

Max chunk size: The maximum number of alerts or metrics waiting in the output buffer. Used to limit the memory usage if events are created faster than consumed.

Once configured, you can press the test button to check if the settings are correct.

Secure Mode

In most cases, the secure mode will only work if you register the server certificate in the Pro.Monitor certificate store:

Export the certificate by connecting in HTTPS to the API with a browser, with the CER format.

Insert the certificate to the store with the following command:

keytool -import -trustcacerts -keystore ../lib/security/cacerts -storepass changeit -noprompt -alias yourAliasName -file path\to\certificate.cer
