Operating system: Network Device

This connector is not available for the local host (it is applicable to remote hosts only).

Prerequisites

Leverages: IF-MIB, CISCO-PROCESS-MIB, CISCO-ENHANCED-MEMPOOL-MIB, ENTITY-MIB, CISCO-ENVMON-MIB, CISCO-VPC-MIB

Technology and protocols: SNMP

Examples

CLI

metricshub HOSTNAME -t network -c +CiscoNexusSNMP --snmp v2c --community public

metricshub.yaml

resourceGroups:
  <RESOURCE_GROUP>:
    resources:
      <HOSTNAME-ID>:
        attributes:
          host.name: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
          host.type: network
        connectors: [ +CiscoNexusSNMP ] # Optional, to load only this connector
        protocols:
          snmp:
            version: v2c # Read documentation for v1, v2c and v3
            community: public # or probably something more secure
