7.5

New Cmdlets

• Get-LMServiceTemplate: Cmdlet to retrieve service template information.
• New-LMServiceTemplate: Cmdlet to create service templates.
• Remove-LMServiceTemplate: Cmdlet to remove service templates.

Note: These cmdlets are currently for internal use/testing only and do not support LMv1 or BearerToken. When a v3 variant is supported they will be updated to support those auth methods.

Bug Fixes/Changes

• Get-LMDeviceProperty: Fix bug with cmdlet that caused cmdlet to continuously loop when no matching property was found.
• New-LMPushMetricDataPoint: Fix bug caused by using users local time when deriving the datapoint timestamps instead of UTC.
• Fixed a few missing cmdlet alias changes and updated the documentation site to reflect all currently active cmdlets.

7.4.3

Bug Fixes/Changes

• Added -Form support to Invoke-LMRestMethod to support cmdlets that required form data.
• Added missing alias:
  • Get-LMDeviceGroupGroups → Get-LMDeviceGroupGroup
• Fixed missing private function Get-NestedDeviceGroup

7.4.2

Cmdlet Naming Update:

• Plural-to-Singular Standardization:
  To align with PowerShell best practices and the rest of the module, the following cmdlets have been renamed from plural nouns to singular nouns:

  • Get-LMAuditLogs → Get-LMAuditLog
  • Set-LMNormalizedProperties → Set-LMNormalizedProperty
  • Remove-LMNormalizedProperties → Remove-LMNormalizedProperty
  • New-LMNormalizedProperties → New-LMNormalizedProperty
  • Import-LMRepositoryLogicModules → Import-LMRepositoryLogicModule
  • Get-LMWebsiteGroupAlerts → Get-LMWebsiteGroupAlert
  • Get-LMWebsiteAlerts → Get-LMWebsiteAlert
  • Get-LMUsageMetrics → Get-LMUsageMetric
  • Get-LMRepositoryLogicModules → Get-LMRepositoryLogicModule
  • Get-LMNormalizedProperties → Get-LMNormalizedProperty
  • Get-LMNetscanExecutionDevices → Get-LMNetscanExecutionDevice
  • Get-LMIntegrationLogs → Get-LMIntegrationLog
  • Get-LMDeviceNetflowPorts → Get-LMDeviceNetflowPort
  • Get-LMDeviceNetflowFlows → Get-LMDeviceNetflowFlow
  • Get-LMDeviceNetflowEndpoints → Get-LMDeviceNetflowEndpoint
  • Get-LMDeviceGroupDevices → Get-LMDeviceGroupDevice
  • Get-LMDeviceGroupGroups → Get-LMDeviceGroupGroup
  • Get-LMDeviceGroupAlerts → Get-LMDeviceGroupAlert
  • Get-LMDeviceDatasourceInstanceAlertRecipients → Get-LMDeviceDatasourceInstanceAlertRecipient
  • Get-LMDeviceAlertSettings → Get-LMDeviceAlertSetting
  • Get-LMDatasourceAssociatedDevices → Get-LMDatasourceAssociatedDevice
  • Get-LMCostOptimizationRecommendations → Get-LMCostOptimizationRecommendation
  • Get-LMCostOptimizationRecommendationCategories → Get-LMCostOptimizationRecommendationCategory
  • Find-LMDashboardWidgets → Find-LMDashboardWidget

• Backward Compatibility:
  Alias functions for the previous plural-noun cmdlet names have been included for backward compatibility.
  Note: These plural-noun alias are considered deprecated and will be removed in a future major release. Please update your scripts to use the new singular-noun cmdlet names.

Bug Fixes:

• This version of Logic.Monitor module addresses some unintended issues introduced in the pervious version of the module. Some cmdlets had been inadvertently updated causing cmdlet is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function script file or executable program errors.

Updated Cmdlets:

• New-LMWebsite: If a testLocation parameter is specified the cmdlet will now default to setting the -useDefaultLocationSetting to $false. This was causing some confusion as it was previously always defaulting to $true even when specifying specific locations.
• Get-LMAccountStatus: Added AccessId to the returned LMAuth object.
• New/Set-LMDeviceGroup: Added parameters for setting -DefaultCollectorId, -DefaultAutoBalancedCollectorGroupId and -DefaultCollectorGroupId.

7.4

New Cmdlets:

• Export-LMDashboard: Exports dashboard information from LogicMonitor to a JSON file. This is the same file you would get from performing an export from your LM portal. (requested via @AUrhino)

#Export a dashboard to a JSON file
Export-LMDashboard -Id 123 -FilePath "C:\temp"

Minor Changes:

• All payload formating is now done through a centralized Format-LMData function. A bug was reported where trying to refresh properties to clear a resources custom property list would resulting in the empty customProperties payload getting stripped during formating. (reported via @aggie87).
• An issue was discovered where rate limits could be hit without rate limit backoff being applied. As a result of this change we have over hauled the error handling in this version to ensure all cmdlets properly respect any -ErrorAction perferences you have specified.
  • While we do not anticipate any issues with these changes, they do touch pretty much every cmdlet in this module, please report any issues you encounter when using this version.
• Increased integration testing coverage to +130 tests accross many of the different cmdlets in the suite.
• This version of the module cleans up a lot of the tech debt aquired over the years and aims to make the module easier to maintain and for the community to contribute to moving forward.

7.3.1

Introducing Automation Cmdlets:

This version of the Logic.Monitor module brings the first of many "automation" cmdlets that utilize the core API cmdlets to perform scripted actions within a LogicMonitor portal. These initial cmdlets have been asked for by the community and we are happy to be able to include them directly in the core Logic.Monitor powershell module. As always, please provide feedback and feature requests for automation/cmdlets you would like to see added in the future.

View the Logic.Monitor Documentation: Documentation

• Invoke-LMDeviceDedupe: Identifies and removes duplicate devices based on sysname or IP address matching. Helps clean up portals with duplicate device entries.
