How to run a free LogicMonitor Resource Analysis Report

Trying to perform ad-hoc analytics on your customer’s Resources in LogicMonitor? It’s easy to do with the ReportMagic Free Tier using one of our Library Report Templates.

Just follow these steps:

  1. Sign in

Sign In with your Microsoft Account at https://reportmagic.net/ If you are the first person in your company to sign in, you will become your company’s Magic Suite Administrator.

  1. Add a LogicMonitor Connection

Go to https://reportmagic.net/admin/connections and add a LogicMonitor Connection. Full details can be found here: https://reportmagic.net/help/connecting_logicmonitor

  1. Create a report output folder

ReportMagic has a built-in file system - you can find it here: https://reportmagic.net/files .
Just create a new Folder and call it “LogicMonitor Resources”.

  1. Create a Report Schedule

Create a Report Schedule here: https://reportmagic.net/schedules. You just need to give it a name and select the Input and Output folders. Your Input folder should be set to /Library/LogicMonitor/Analytics/Resource Analytics . Make sure that only XLSX Output is selected. Your Schedule should look something like this:

  1. Run the Report Schedule

Run the Report Schedule. The report may take a few minutes to run if you have more than a few hundred LogicMonitor Resources. You can close your browser and come back later if necessary!

  1. Download the file

Your output file will appear here: https://reportmagic.net/files?path=%2FLogicMonitor%20Resources . Download the file and open it in Excel.

  1. Set up your Measure

In Excel, click on the “Device Analytics” tab and then click on the PivotTable. You should get a “PivotTable Fields” dialog on the right hand side of Excel. Search for “Fractional Count” and drag that to the bottom-right-hand “Values” field.

Select the number under "Sum of Fractional Count and click on the “Decrease Decimal” button in the Excel Ribbon until it is showing an Integer:

Note: We use Fractional Count, as LogicMonitor Resources can be members of multiple Resource Groups. You can also use “Count”, but it may not have the desired results.

  1. Set up your dimensions

Now you can browse the available dimensions. Every possible Custom, Inherited and AutoProperty is available. Drag, stack and re-order dimensions in Filters, Columns and Rows.

  1. Explore the data

There dozens of great use cases for LogicMonitor Resource Analysis reports! Try some of the following:

  • Firmware versions of all your Cisco devices
  • Alert Status of your IDRACs
  • Resource Count by customer (try using Group Levels in your rows)
  • Review all Resources in SDT
  • Find Resources with Last Data received more than a month ago

We’d love to hear how you’re using LogicMonitor Analysis reports!

Hi @David_Bond

I get this Macro error. What does it mean?
‘Sequence contains more than one matching element’

Hi @Limbrey - we’re investigating this now. The ticket number is MS-19357.
