Hello Guys,

what is the configuration on Cisco ACI end with image 5.3(2a) to add in monitoring in Solarwind using SNMPv2

Hello @Noovi 

1. Configure SNMP Policy (APIC GUI Path):

• Log in to the APIC GUI.
• Navigate to Fabric > Fabric Policies > Policies > Monitoring > Common Policy > Callhome/Smart Callhome/SNMP/Syslog/TACACS
• Right-click and select Create SNMP Source - Name, DestGroup: 
• Provide: Host, Port, Version, Security/Community Name, v3 Security level, Management EPG

2. Configure SolarWinds:

• SolarWinds Web Console:
  • Log in to your SolarWinds web console.
  • Add the APIC(s) as a node for monitoring.
  • When adding the node:
    • Polling Method: Select "SNMP".
    • SNMP Version: Choose "SNMP v2c".
    • SNMP Community String: Enter the community string you configured on the ACI fabric.
  • Once the node is added, SolarWinds should start polling the APIC using SNMP and display the relevant metrics.

Note: Please verify any modifications in the configuration sequence, as it may differ across software versions.

HTH & Stay Curious!
