About the ScienceLogic Support Pack PowerPack

SL1 includes the "ScienceLogic Support Pack" PowerPack by default with all SL1 releases.

This PowerPack was developed by ScienceLogic Support to help you monitor your SL1 systems. It allows an SL1 stack to monitor itself and other SL1 stacks.

The "ScienceLogic Support Pack" PowerPack:

  • ensures that all SL1 appliances are monitored and running the same version of SL1
  • ensures that all SL1 appliances appear on the Devices page
  • ensures that configuration files on SL1 appliances and clusters are kept in sync
  • monitors the health and configuration of MariaDB 
  • generates alerts when system resources like disk-space are approaching capacity
  • monitors DNS entries for Database Servers and All-In-One Appliances
  • monitors long-running processes and queries
  • monitors out-of-memory conditions
  • ensures that CRM and corosync configurations are up to date
  • ensures that configuration files match among high-availability Database Servers
  • monitors crucial SL1 processes like data pull and config_push
  • monitors "rows behind" situations and generates alerts
  • monitors and fixes backlogs of email messages
  • generates alerts if any of the following files differ:
    • /etc/my.cnf.d/silo_mysql.cnf
    • /etc/silo.conf
    • /etc/siteconfig/mysql.siteconfig
    • /etc/siteconfig/siloconf.siteconfig
  • collects telemetry related to Device Groups

The PowerPack is designed to work "out of the box" with very little configuration required. The Dynamic Applications included in the PowerPack should automatically align when you discover your SL1 appliances for self-monitoring.

For more information about the Dynamic Applications that are included in the "ScienceLogic Support Pack" PowerPack, see the following knowledge base article: https://support.sciencelogic.com/s/article/2951.

Because the PowerPack is included in SL1 installations and upgrades by default, you cannot download it from the ScienceLogic Support site. Whenever you upgrade your SL1 stack to the latest release, you should go to the PowerPack Manager page (System > Manage > PowerPacks) to check for a new version of the "ScienceLogic Support Pack" PowerPack. For more information about updating default PowerPacks, see the section on How SL1 Updates Default PowerPacks.
