What is ScienceLogic SL1?

The ScienceLogic SL1 platform aims to enable companies to digitally transform themselves by removing the difficulty of managing complex, distributed IT services. SL1 uses patented discovery techniques to find everything in a network, so users get visibility across all technologies and vendors running anywhere in data centers or clouds. The vendor states the advantage of SL1 is that it collects and analyzes millions of data points across an IT universe (made up of infrastructure, network, applications, and business services), to help users make sense of it all, share data, and automate IT processes.


With SL1, the user can:

  • See everything across cloud and distributed architectures. Discover all IT components—–across physical, virtual, and cloud. Collect, merge, and store a variety of data in a clean, normalized data lake.
  • Contextualize data through relationship mapping and machine learning (ML) for actionable insights. Use this context to understand the impact of infrastructure and applications on business service health and risk, accelerate root cause analysis, and execute recommended actions.
  • Act on data that is shared across technologies and IT ecosystem in real time. Apply multi-directional integrations to automate workflows at cloud scale.

Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

SL's overall performance is outstanding, but SL's reporting sections is a bit of a nightmare and hopefully attention will be given to that section when a new release comes out. The reporting interface is not great and it looks like this section did not enjoy as much attention as the rest of the products interfaces. Depending on the info that needs to be generated in the report, the delivery of that report can vary. It will also depend on other activities taking place at the same time. Sometimes a report takes long, and when you evetually et it, it is empty.

the current version of SL1 that we are utilizing is relatively good. There are times where pages do take some time to load but i chalk that up to the amount of devices that have to be populated.

We use the recommended server specs and performance has always been good. Pages load quickly and we haven't experienced any lagging. It is very complex but reporting and using it is easy and offers a lot of different reporting options. Integrating it with other software like ticketing software doesnt slow it down at all that we have noticed.

Good product!

Science logic is a heavy application because of the amount of data it collects and so the time usually depends on the operation performed, thought it takes a few more seconds for heavy operations it is acceptable. the main pages and screen load rather quickly, but there is a time lag after the login is performed, so I'm guessing the lag is where all the data is actually being loaded onto the main screen

Care should be taken when creating dashboards which present all of the collected data available to you.
We have many routers at work.
Almost all of them have 10K interfaces on each one.

Creating dashboards which present many different views of many different, large routers can create undue database load. (We're actively discouraging their use as a long-running process because each dashboard widget gets its own database connection, not a shared database connection.) We will kill all long running queries in the database if they run longer than 30 minutes.

The database schema design makes interesting trade-off decisions (optimizing for ease of write at the expense of complex / cross-device reads).

The new GraphQL schema model looks promising, but we're still waiting for that to begin to appear in the SL1 core functionality.

Given enough hardware and budget, you can go a long ways before you start pushing the boundaries of the platform architecture.

Being conservative in what you monitor for the vast majority of your CIs allows you to retain compute capacity for dashboards, runbook engines and the like.

Having large routers or vCenters will require an upscaling of your data collector sizings just to complete the Device Component Map data collection.

SceinceLogic SL1 architecture helps the platform to give a top-notch performance in every respect, Data collection to reporting happens very smoothly. With the new user interface pages load much faster. Individual appliances carrying the individual task ensure things are working without lag. Integration with ticketing tool(SNOW) is well managed by the ScienceLogic, no issue or much delay has been observed while interacting with an external tool.

Right now, ScienceLogic SL1 could get a performance boost, especially when querying for logs and alarms status. I understand that there is a complexe layer of integration happening, but i feel that our ScienceLogic SL1 could be a lot faster. It was even slower before we moved it to our enterprise network

It performs reasonably fine until you cross certain thresholds. Beyond 5-6K thousands of devices, adding additional workload to the system downgrades the performance considerably.

The performance is entirely dependent on the complexity of the environment/network being used to host the platform. Outside of those factors, the platform runs very efficiently and quickly out of the box. We have integrations with other platforms and neither seem to take a hit from our moderate API usage. Any issues with performance would be experienced by choices made in infrastructure or complexity of things built by the customer to display in the GUI (overly complicated and cluttered dashboards for example)

I rated it 6 because it works fine, but ONLY after you correctly size the appliances. And "oh boy", those will be huge, this is the first monitoring tool I support that uses more cpu and memory than my oracle production databae server.
