Cisco ACI Spine Node Monitoring
This Host Template is part of the Cisco Aci Spine Node Monitoring Opspack
Host Template: Network - Cisco ACI - Spine Node
Monitor your Cisco ACI Spine Nodes with metrics for health score, usage information and a detailed summary of faults.
This Host Template includes the following Service Checks:
| Service Check Name | Description | Default Thresholds (Warning, Critical) | UOM |
|---|---|---|---|
| ACI - Spine Node - Fan Summary | A summary of the fans' operational states for a given spine node | N/A | N/A |
| ACI - Spine Node - Faults | A summary of all faults for a given spine node | spine_node_critical_faults=,0 spine_node_major_faults=,0 spine_node_minor_faults=0, spine_node_warning_faults=0, spine_node_info_faults=, spine_node_cleared_faults=, |
N/A |
| ACI - Spine Node - Health Score | The health score for a given spine node | spine_node_health_score=95:,80: | N/A |
| ACI - Spine Node - PSU Summary | A summary of all power supplies for a given spine node | N/A | N/A |
| ACI - Spine Node - CPU Usage | The CPU usage for a given spine node | user_avg_cpu=70,90 kernel_avg_cpu=70,90 idle_avg_cpu=30:,10: |
% |
| ACI - Spine Node - Memory Usage | The memory usage for a given spine node | spine_node_memory_usage=70,90 | % |
Usage Instructions
Step 1: Add this Host Template
Add the Network - Cisco ACI - Spine Node Host Template to your Opsview Monitor host. If the resource you're monitoring has no hostname or public IP, then open the Advanced settings pane and change Host Check Command to Always assumed to be UP.
For more information, refer to Opsview Knowledge Center - Adding Host Templates to Hosts.
Step 2: Add and configure variables required for this Host Template
The Service Checks in this Host Template use the following variables, and they will be added to your Opsview Monitor instance when you import the Opspack:
ACI_CREDENTIALS
The Value is not used and therefore can be set to anything. Override the arguments with your credentials.
| Parameter | Position in Variable | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| --api-server-url | Arg1 | ACI API Server URL | The server URL for your Cisco ACI |
| --username | Arg2 | ACI Username | The username for your Cisco ACI |
| --password | Arg3 | ACI Password | The password for your Cisco ACI |
ACI_POD_ID
| Parameter | Position in Variable | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| --pod-id | Value | ACI Pod ID | The ID of the pod |
ACI_NODE_ID
| Parameter | Position in Variable | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| --node-id | Value | ACI Node ID | The ID of the node |
ACI_FAULT_SETTINGS
The Value is not used and therefore can be set to anything. Override the arguments with your settings. The fault severity must be one of; 'critical', 'major', 'minor', 'warning', 'info', 'cleared' (default: 'major'). The fault limit, limits the number of faults displayed (default: '10'). Leave this blank to display all faults.
| Parameter | Position in Variable | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| --fault-severity | Arg1 | ACI Fault Severity | The minimum severity level of faults to display |
| --fault-limit | Arg2 | ACI Fault Limit | The maximum number of faults to display |
For more information, refer to Opsview Knowledge Center - Adding Variables to Hosts.
For mode-specific help, run the plugin with the -h -m
| Service Check Name | Mode |
|---|---|
| ACI - Spine Node - Fan Summary | ACI.Spine.Fans |
| ACI - Spine Node - Faults | ACI.Spine.Faults |
| ACI - Spine Node - Health Score | ACI.Spine.Health |
| ACI - Spine Node - PSU Summary | ACI.Spine.PSU |
| ACI - Spine Node - CPU Usage | ACI.Spine.CPU |
| ACI - Spine Node - Memory Usage | ACI.Spine.Memory |
SSL Certificates
Additionally, if ssl verification is required, you can use the following variable to pass in your SSL certificates for use when connecting to the service provider to gather metrics:
ACI_CERTIFICATES
The Value is not used and therefore can be set to anything. Override the arguments with your certificates.
| Parameter | Position in Variable | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| --ca-path | Arg1 | CA Certificate Path | Path to the CA Certificate. Optional, only required if server verification is needed |
