metricshub.yaml

resourceGroups:
  <RESOURCE_GROUP>:
    resources:
      <HOSTNAME-ID>:
        attributes:
          host.name: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
          host.type: oob
        connectors: [ +CiscoUCSC885A ] # Optional, to load only this connector
        protocols:
          http:
            https: true
            port: 443 # or probably something else
