How to Add ISE Servers in a monitoring Platform

[sajidabbas]

Hi,

We would like to monitor our ISE Servers on our common monitoring platform for basic health monitoring and alerting.

I found that it cannot be done in a traditional way using SNMP.

Could someone please guide on how we can get this done.

Thanks

Sajid

ISE is bit different compare to other device monitoring with SNMP

there is a good thread:

The snmp-server community section of the ISE CLI Guide lists the supported SNMP MIBs.

Does the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB not give you this data? That is the standard MIB for such things.

There is also the NOTIFICATION-LOG-MIB

• SNMPv2-MIB
• RFC1213-MIB
• IF-MIB
• IP-MIB
• IP-FORWARD-MIB
• TCP-MIB
• UDP-MIB
• HOST-RESOURCES-MIB
• ENTITY-MIB-Only 3 MIB variables are supported on the ENTITY-MIB:
  • Product ID: entPhysicalModelName
  • Version ID: entPhysicalHardwareRev
  • Serial Number: entPhysicalSerialNumber
• DISMAN-EVENT-MIB
• NOTIFICATION-LOG-MIB
• CISCO-CDP-MIB

Have you tried any and all of these?
