DESCRIPTION:

I used this DataSource when I used LogicMonitor to warn me when it was almost time to retire a device. e.g. we kept servers for 5 years. I set it to alert me 90 days in advance and 30 days in advance. This helped me with my annual budget to plan for expenses.

DEMO:

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Download this DataSource file and import into your LogicMonitor account (Settings > DataSources > Add > From file)
  2. Set a property on each device for the retirement date named ‘date_to_retire’ and use the format YYYY-MM-DD.
  3. Test by looking at the ‘Raw Data’ tab to make sure it shows correct ‘days_until_retirement’
  4. If desired, create a report of the type ‘Resource Metric Trends’ as shown in video.
