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.
