What is the AWS Automated Troubleshooting PowerPack?

The AWS Automated TroubleshootingPowerPack includes automation policies that enrich SL1 events for Amazon Web Services devices by automatically gathering device information and recommendations.

Installing the AWS Automated TroubleshootingPowerPack

Before completing the steps in this section, you must import and install the latest version of the AWS Automated TroubleshootingPowerPack.

The AWS Automated TroubleshootingPowerPack requires SL1 version 10.2.0 or later. For details on upgrading SL1, see the appropriate SL1 Release Notes.

By default, installing a new version of a PowerPack overwrites all content from a previous version of that PowerPack that has already been installed on the target system. You can use the Enable Selective PowerPack Field Protection setting in the Behavior Settings page (System > Settings > Behavior) to prevent new PowerPacks from overwriting local changes for some commonly customized fields. For more information, see the section on Global Settings.

Ensure that you are running version 12.1.2 or later of SL1 before installing this PowerPack.

For details on upgrading SL1, see the relevant SL1 Platform Release Notes.

To download and install the PowerPack:

  1. Search for and download the PowerPack from the PowerPacks page (Product Downloads > PowerPacks & SyncPacks) at the ScienceLogic Support Site.
  2. In SL1, go to the PowerPacks page (System > Manage > PowerPacks).
  3. Click the Actions button and choose Import PowerPack. The Import PowerPack dialog box appears.
  4. Click [Browse] and navigate to the PowerPack file from step 1.
  5. Select the PowerPack file and click Import. The PowerPack Installer modal displays a list of the PowerPack contents.
  6. Click Install. The PowerPack is added to the PowerPacks page.
