Installation

  • From PowerShell Gallery:
Install-Module -Name "Logic.Monitor"

Upgrading

  • New releases are published often, to ensure you have the latest version you can run:
Update-Module -Name "Logic.Monitor"

General Usage

Before you can use on module commands you will need to be connected to a LM portal. To connect your LM portal use the Connect-LMAccount command:

Connect-LMAccount -AccessId "lm_access_id" -AccessKey "lm_access_key" -AccountName "lm_portal_prefix_name"

Once connected you can then run an appropriate command, a full list of commands available can be found using:

Get-Command -Module "Logic.Monitor"

To disconnect from an account simply run the Disconnect-LMAccount command:

Disconnect-LMAccount

To cache credentials for multiple portals you can use the command New-LMCachedAccount, once a credential has been cached you can reference it when connecting to an lm portal using the -UserCachedCredentials switch in Connect-LMAccount.

Cached credentials are stored in a LocalVault using Microsoft's SecretManagement module. If its your first time using SecretManagement you will be prompted to set up a password for accessing your cached accounts in the LocalVault using this method.

New-LMCachedAccount -AccessId "lm_access_id" -AccessKey "lm_access_key" -AccountName "lm_portal_prefix_name"
Connect-LMAccount -UseCachedCredential

#Example output when using cached credentials
#Selection Number | Portal Name
#0) portalname
#1) portalnamesandbox
#Enter the number for the cached credential you wish to use: 1
#Connected to LM portal portalnamesandbox using account

Change List

7.9.2

Bug Fixes

  • SDT timezone compatibility with PowerShell 5.1: Fixed an issue introduced in v7.9.1 where SDT commands would fail on PowerShell 5.1 with Invalid timezone errors due to .NET Framework not supporting IANA timezone IDs (e.g. America/New_York) directly.
  • Cross-platform timezone support: SDT commands now accept both IANA timezone IDs (e.g. America/New_York) and Windows standard timezone names (e.g. Eastern Standard Time). The module automatically resolves the input to the correct format for the API regardless of PowerShell version or operating system.

7.9.1

Bug Fixes & Changes

  • SDT timezone consistency: Added timezone-aware behavior across New-LMDeviceSDT, New-LMDeviceGroupSDT, New-LMDeviceDatasourceSDT, and New-LMDeviceDatasourceInstanceSDT so schedules are no longer interpreted based on the machine running the script.
  • Portal timezone default for SDTs: If -Timezone is omitted, SDT commands now resolve and use the portal timezone by default.
  • Timezone validation improvements: Replaced legacy commented timezone lists with active validation for timezone IDs and clearer error messages for invalid values.
  • Set-LMSDT update alignment: Added timezone handling and validation improvements for one-time SDT updates in Set-LMSDT.

Major Changes in v7:

  • API Headers: Updated all API request headers to use a custom User-Agent (Logic.Monitor-PowerShell-Module/Version) for usage reporting on versions deployed.
