LogicMonitor
LogicMonitor
Link a LogicMonitor device, DataSource instance or resource group to the stratum for the component it describes. A server can show the conditions affecting it; a circuit can show the exact monitored interface; a site can show the observed state of its group members. Investigation, alert acknowledgement and configuration changes remain in LogicMonitor.
Connect your portal
- You need an Enterprise licence, blueprint edit access and
continuum_integrations.manageon the connection's organisation or team. - In LogicMonitor, create a dedicated API-only user. Assign a role with
Resources Viewon only the resource groups Blueprintr should read. Device, group, alert, instance, metric and scheduled downtime reads use resource permissions. Write, alert acknowledgement and Collector settings permissions are unnecessary. See Resources role permissions. - Create a
BearerAPI token for that user. This connector accepts Bearer tokens. LogicMonitor also supports LMv1 authentication, but an LMv1 access ID and key pair cannot be pasted into this connector's Bearer field. - In Blueprintr, open
Settings → Continuumon the organisation or team, go toOperational integrations, chooseNew integration, selectLogicMonitoras theType, and enter aName,CompanyandBearer token. Forhttps://acme.logicmonitor.com, enteracmeas the company. - Review the content audience, saved detail and optional settings below, then choose
Connect & verify. Verification checks resource and alert reads with the supplied credential. A successful check with no visible devices is explained separately: review the user's resource-group access or add monitored resources. Verification does not establish complete coverage or verify every optional read. Save the blueprint before adding a link.
This connection uses REST v3 on commercial logicmonitor.com portals. The portal host is always built as <company>.logicmonitor.com, so LMforGov portals and custom API hosts cannot be reached. No local agent is required. Credentials are encrypted and are not displayed again after saving. LogicMonitor documents the supported authentication methods in its REST authentication guide.
Choose the object your diagram describes
Open the stratum for your server, interface or site and choose Continuum Link from its + Add tab menu. Only a rich stratum can host a linked tab. Search its name, hostname or IP, or paste a current UIv4 device or group resource URL from the portal.
Review the connection, company, object type, stable ID and instance lineage before choosing Link object, especially when names repeat. A successful first fetch is required before the binding is saved. One connection can have one linked object on a stratum; selecting another explicitly replaces that connection's previous link.
| What the stratum describes | How to select it | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| A server or network device | Search a name, hostname or IP, or use device:42 for an exact device ID. | Confirm the company and device identity; the same display name can exist more than once. |
| An interface or monitored component | Find its device, choose Browse instances, then select the instance. instances:42 also lists instances on device 42. | Confirm the device, device-specific DataSource and instance. A DataSource's global ID is different from its device-specific DataSource ID. |
| An exact known instance | Use instance:42:123:456: device ID 42, device DataSource ID 123, instance ID 456. | Retain all three IDs; an instance name or portal instance URL alone does not establish its complete identity. |
| A site or service group | Search a group name or use group:London or group:7. | Confirm the group path and displayed direct or descendant scope. Membership describes an administrative monitoring group, not an architectural dependency. |
| A device within a group | Choose Browse members or use members:7. | This lists direct members. Browsing changes the search; it does not save a link. |
Suggest integrations… and Scan for integrations can help match diagram identifiers. Every suggestion still needs your review. Search results are limited to what the dedicated LogicMonitor user can read; no match does not prove that the object does not exist. Resolve any reported search or coverage warning before relying on absence.
Choose detail, scope and audience
These settings belong to the connection. Detail, audience, maintenance and datapoint changes apply to subsequent fetches. The group scope is saved with the selected object: review and relink a group to change its scope.
| Setting | New connection default | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| LogicMonitor content audience | Blueprint editors | Restricts the saved provider panel to blueprint editors. Choose the reader-visible option, All Blueprint readers, whose full label adds "approved metadata", only after approving the content for everyone who can read the blueprint. |
| Saved detail | Summary | Keeps object identity, operational states, counts and coverage with less monitoring detail. Detailed adds the affected monitoring names and member context. |
| Resource group scope | Direct members | Include descendant groups also includes resources within child groups when selecting a group. Duplicate memberships do not represent separate resources. |
| Maintenance context | Include maintenance windows | Adds available scheduled downtime context. Disable it to skip optional maintenance window reads. Alert downtime flags can still appear in Detailed snapshots. |
| Instance datapoints | Blank | Optionally enter up to three exact comma-separated datapoint names copied from the chosen DataSource instance. Metrics are fetched only for instance links and only when this field is populated. |
Existing connections keep their historical reader-visible detailed behaviour until an administrator chooses otherwise. Existing settings with no maintenance option do not enable additional maintenance reads.
Alert messages, acknowledgement comments, arbitrary resource properties and Collector configuration are not imported. Summary information still includes resource identity and operational metadata: it is not anonymous. Datapoint names and availability vary by DataSource; choose names meaningful to the interface or component rather than assuming every instance provides the same metrics. The instance API and data API describe this resource hierarchy.
Read the saved observation
The panel distinguishes active alert severity, collection availability and maintenance. Detailed snapshots also show acknowledgement and the affected DataSource, instance and datapoint. Acknowledgement means someone has acknowledged an alert; it does not mean the condition has recovered. Scheduled downtime can suppress notifications while monitoring continues. A Collector problem means the resource's current observations may be unavailable. None of these states should be read as a general guarantee of system health. See LogicMonitor's scheduled downtime rules.
Alerting flags describe the object's local setting. The panel does not resolve every inherited group or DataSource alert-suppression rule; check the provider when deciding whether notifications should be sent.
Maintenance windows on an instance panel describe its parent device and can include other monitoring scopes; they are not all specific to the selected instance. A group panel reads schedules for the selected group, without individually retrieving schedules for every member device or child instance. Use each alert's downtime flag and the portal for precise maintenance scope.
Counts describe the active alerts and resources retrieved within the connection's permissions and selected scope. If pagination cannot be completed, the panel marks its coverage as partial; do not treat a lower bound as the full total. Unknown, missing or unreadable information is not zero. Last NetFlow receipt, if displayed, describes NetFlow specifically and does not establish the freshness of all monitored data.
Optional instance metrics request the past hour and show the latest 12 samples per selected datapoint, together with the requested and returned windows, sample interval and missing-data information. Summary mode uses generic metric labels; Detailed mode includes the selected datapoint names.
Metric samples are never labelled with a unit. The value column is headed "Value (unit unspecified)" and the Units row reads "Unit not supplied by LogicMonitor; untransformed provider values". Blueprintr shows the raw numbers without inferring a unit, converting the value or deriving a rate. Consult the DataSource definition in LogicMonitor to interpret the sample correctly.
Opening the stratum displays a saved snapshot and does not call LogicMonitor. Re-fetch with the circular-arrows icon on the linked row ("Re-fetch this integration's data"). After five minutes, the snapshot indicates that another refresh is needed. This is a freshness reminder, not automatic polling. Each metric has its own sample time; fetching a panel now does not make an older provider sample current.
Use the source link to continue investigating the selected device, group or instance in LogicMonitor. A link does not grant access: the provider still applies the signed-in user's own permissions. Extended graphs, alert messages, acknowledgement and configuration remain in the portal.
Recover from failures and disconnect
A failed required read does not become an empty, healthy observation. A failed refresh keeps the previous snapshot and shows a warning. An optional section that cannot be retrieved is marked unavailable or partial. Check resource permissions and token expiry, then verify the connection again. For rate limits, wait before retrying; repeated browsing and refreshes consume the portal's API capacity.
Use Rotate token, then Verify & replace, to rotate a token. The replacement is verified before it replaces the working credential. Suspend stops search and refresh while saved snapshots stay readable; Resume restarts it. The broken-link icon on the linked row removes the current binding; delete the connection after its bindings have been removed. Moving to a different portal requires reviewing and relinking object identities; device IDs are not portable between companies.
Sharing and retained copies
Provider data is fetched with the connection's credential. Readers are governed by the configured Blueprintr audience, not their individual LogicMonitor permissions. Approved reader-visible content can reach anonymous readers of a public blueprint, embeds, exports and configured search or AI features. Editor-only panels use Blueprintr's existing audience controls for those reader surfaces; editor exports and backups retain the source.
Changing a setting affects later successful fetches. Restricting the audience does not rewrite panels already saved: refresh each linked tab successfully, or unlink it, before treating existing LogicMonitor content as editor-only. It does not redact independent versions, templates, exports or copies already shared. Unlinking, suspending or revoking a token cannot recall those copies. Authored stratum names, link labels and notes remain your content and need a separate audience review.
Validate before operational rollout
Automated tests exercise simulated provider responses; they do not establish that a particular LogicMonitor tenant grants the expected access. Before relying on this integration operationally, verify a least-privilege token, duplicate names, an exact instance, direct and descendant group membership, multi-page results, special-character searches and a permission-denied read in a representative portal. Confirm metric units and gaps, scheduled downtime, source links, freshness reminders and the published-reader audience. Check rate limits and any feature entitlements with that tenant. The integration does not import LogicMonitor topology or create monitoring configuration.
