Innovative Uses

  • Business services - we are just starting to use the business services section, but the idea of transitioning from a device monitoring paradigm to a service monitoring paradigm sites right where we need it as a managed service provider. Our customers don't usually care too much about specific monitored events in one particular room as those are remediated locally and with our help desk support, which they are generally pleased with. What they really want is to have metrics that comprise 'services' and to see how that service is doing on a monthly basis. We are looking into the SL1 business services feature to do just that.
  • DCM - the device component mapping function in SL1 is really neat and compelling for most customers. I have not seen this type of breakdown of nested or component devices to describe a room or conglomerate system in any other apps.

ScienceLogic - Enterprise Considerations

Innovative Uses

  • This question is ambiguous. As stated, it suggests that Cisco IT might have found an unexpected or innovative way which ScienceLogic (the platform) is used which surprises Cisco IT. The reality is that Cisco IT is driving how ScienceLogic is used and we are surprising ScienceLogic (the company) with our scale and Enterprise Use Case specifications and articulations. The remainder of the questions will answer from a company perspective, not a product perspective.
  • #multitenancy - Enterprise Use Case wants to share many data elements in a read-only way to the IT world. As originally deployed, 8.3 > 8.11 suffers from Managed Service Provider Use Case where Organizations are expected to be 100% independent from each other with no read rights and no world implications. 8.12 delivers our first glimpse of how Cisco IT will allow a more seamless Enterprise Use Case experience by allowing configuration of a WORLD rights permission that grants read (but not write; as is the case in 8.9 and prior) permissions to device configuration and performance data.
  • We have 467 Organizations with some 2200 users. Many in multiple organizations.
  • IT Services have been how we folded our host clusters onto Science Logic stacks. We've been involved in early discussions about Device Services and Business Services and as those become tangible in the platform we will provide our feedback based on issues we find due to our scale.
  • Given 467 Organizations and some 2200 Users, we found that pre-generating Critical Ping Failure and Availability runbook automations and actions and external contacts so that all of our teams had a starting point in the platform was a surprise to use as a mechanism whereby we provide base training to our end-users in the RBA space. Our statement is these are yours. Play with them. Learn from them. Delete them if you need clean copies and we will regenerate those for you.
  • Our use of ServiceNow as our upstream CMDB with monitoring configuration paint being applied downstream has been a great boon to us. This allows our operations teams to force a repaint to clean up problem configurations without concern to multi-master issues. We consistently find that SyncServer and Integration Server use cases are inverted for us in that ScienceLogic pushes to ServiceNow and a hand-wave on whether or not ServiceNow does its own discovery (thereby creating a multi-master problem).

  • Unfortunately, due to the nature of the business model we are operating under, innovation has not been a priority. That is changing.
  • One of the areas of innovation which we want to pursue is integrating with Splunk to provide data to Splunk for analysis as well as a single pane of glass approach to user access to Splunk through the ScienceLogic SL1 UI
  • Using the ability to add custom fields to help identify devices that are not represented in the CMDB and close the gap on the completeness of the CMDB

  • We were able to write customer monitors to watch all sides of our business including our domain registrations.
  • We have dashboards that break out groups and their devices allowing them to see when something is going on in real-time. This has allowed us to stop fighting fires and be more proactive.
