LogicMonitor provides for monitoring of hundreds of types networking hardware devices, operating systems, hypervisors databases, storage arrays, and AWS resources. Network monitoring is achieved through one or more software agents (called "collectors") that are installed within the client's network to perform discovery, polling, and forward data to LogicMonitor's cloud computing platform. LogicMonitor collectors are not required to be installed on each host but instead use standard network protocols to poll devices.[4]LogicMonitor supports a variety of data collection methods: WMI, SNMP, Perfmon, JDBC, JMX, IPMI, Web page parsing, log parsing, custom scripts, and various vendor specific APIs (NetApp, VMware, Citrix Xen, etc.).[5] The platform also aims to reduce complexity by providing features such as auto discovery and pre-configured alert thresholds which help customers "get up and running in a matter of minutes".[6]
