LogicModule Search

LogicModule Search provides powerful search capabilities across all scripts and datapoints in your portal’s LogicModules.

Opening Search

Search Modes

Script Search

Search within module script content:

• Collection scripts
• Active Discovery scripts
• Pre-scripts
• PropertySource scripts
• ConfigSource scripts

Find code patterns, function calls, variable names, or any text within scripts.

Datapoint Search

Search datapoint definitions across all DataSource types:

• Scripted DataSources (Groovy, PowerShell)
• SNMP DataSources
• WMI DataSources
• And more…

Search by:

• Datapoint names
• Datapoint expressions
• Alert thresholds
• Description text

Useful for finding datapoints by name or auditing alert configurations.

Toggle between modes using the tabs at the top of the search dialog.

Search Options

Match Type

SubstringExactRegex

Type	Behavior	Example
Substring	Partial match anywhere	host matches hostname, hostProps
Exact	Whole word match only	host won’t match hostname
Regex	Regular expression pattern	host\w+ matches hostname, hostProps

Case Sensitivity

Toggle case sensitivity in the search options:

• Case Insensitive (default) – “Host” matches “host”, “HOST”
• Case Sensitive – Only exact case matches

Module Type Filter

Filter search to specific module types:

DataSource ConfigSource EventSource PropertySource TopologySource LogSource DiagnosticSource

Select multiple types to include, or none to search all module types.

Script Search Results

Results Display

Results are grouped by module type, then by module:

DataSource (12 matches)
├── Module_Name_1 (3 matches)
│   ├── AD Script - Line 45
│   └── Collection Script - Line 12, 78
├── Module_Name_2 (1 match)
│   └── Collection Script - Line 156

ConfigSource (5 matches)
└── Config_Module_1 (5 matches)
    └── Script - Lines 23, 45, 67, 89, 101

Match Preview

Click a result to see the script with matches highlighted:

• Monaco editor with syntax highlighting
• Matching lines highlighted in yellow
• Jump to match buttons for navigation
• Context lines around each match

Loading Scripts

From search results, you have two options:

Action	Result
Load	Opens in new module-bound tab (for editing and committing)
New	Opens as freeform tab (for reference or experimentation)

---

Datapoint Search Results

Datapoint Results Display

Shows datapoints matching your query:

DataSource_Name
├── cpuUsage (alert: >, threshold: 90)
├── cpuIdle (alert: <, threshold: 10)
└── cpuCount (no alert)

Match Indicators

Results show how the datapoint matched your query:

• Name match — Query found in the datapoint name
• Description match — Query found in the datapoint description

This helps you quickly identify why a result appeared and focus on the most relevant matches.

Datapoint Details

Click a datapoint result to view:

Field	Description
Name	Datapoint identifier
Type	Gauge, counter, derive
Alert Expression	Threshold configuration
Description	Documentation text
Post-Processor	Transformations

LMX Links

Search results include direct links to view the module on LogicMonitor Exchange when available. Click the icon to open the module in LMX.

---

Search Index

LogicModule Search uses a local index for fast searching across your portal.

Index Status

The status bar shows:

• Last indexed: When the index was built
• Module count: Number of indexed modules
• Index age: Time since last update

Building the Index

The index builds automatically on first search. To manually rebuild:

1. Click Rebuild Index in the search dialog

2. Wait for indexing to complete (progress shown)

3. Index is cached for future sessions

Index Freshness

If modules changed in LogicMonitor, the index may show stale results. Click Rebuild Index to update. The rebuild runs in the background.

Regular Expression Tips

When using Regex mode:

Common Patterns

Pattern	Matches
println.*hostname	Print statements with hostname
def\s+\w+\s*=	Variable definitions
Snmp\.(get|walk)	SNMP operations
\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}	IP addresses
hostProps\.get\(	Host property access

Escaping Special Characters

Remember to escape regex special characters:

• \. for literal period
• \( for literal parenthesis
• \[ for literal bracket

---

Performance Tips

Large Portals

For portals with many modules:

1. Use module type filters to narrow scope
2. Be specific with search terms
3. Use exact match when possible
4. Rebuild index if search seems slow

Efficient Searching

1. Start broad, then refine with additional terms
2. Use regex for complex patterns
3. Filter by module type early
4. Check index age before searching

---

Use Cases

• Finding Examples — Search for Snmp.walk with Substring match to find SNMP walk examples across all modules.
• Locating Specific Code — Search for hostProps.get("custom.property") with Exact match to find all uses of a specific property.
• Auditing Patterns — Use Regex like old_deprecated_function\( to find modules needing updates.
• Datapoint Discovery — Switch to Datapoint Search and enter “CPU” to find all CPU-related datapoints and their alert configs across all DataSource types.
