Monitor Cisco APIC ( C220M4) via SNMP Best Practise ?

[maamann]

Hi

Is there a official Best Practice Example available for monitoring APIC´s .

For Example:

Use for hardware purposes only the CIMC IP and for ACi Fabric Related Stuff only APIC OOB IP ?

Why I am asking is I can not monitor the Harddisk Status via SNMP if i use the APIC OOB IP .

How do you monitor a UCS C220 for Power Supply status , HDD , Memory , etc. ??

Hi Markus

I cannot see HDD/Storage under MIBs Supported by APIC -https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/aci/apic/sw/1-x/mib/list/mib-support.html

I think you have to use the UCS MIB from storage info polling.

Hi omz

That MIB

ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/supportlists/ucs/ucs-C-supportlist.html

is to use with the CIMC  right ?

That would mean i can not monitor a APIC with only one IP Address to get all the needed informations to check the heath Status ?

You always need to snmp poll the APIC and the CIMC IP to get all informations about the health status
