pxGrid clients in DNAC 1.3.1

[umahar]

We recently upgraded DNAC to 1.3.1.

Before we had one pxGrid client for SDA and two pxGrid clients for DNA assurance.

After upgrade we now see a new pxgrid client dnac_dnac_ndp on ISE and the other old pxGrid clients are offline.

Everything seems to be working fine and ISE nodes are shown as available on DNAC.

Just wanted to make sure if there is a change in DNAC 1.3.1 and there is no need for separate pxGrid clients.

We also never defined dnac_dnac_ndp as a client name on DNAC so we were wondering if this is the default name which the dnac pxGrid client takes.

Starting in Cisco DNA Center 1.3.1, the general DNAC/ISE pxGrid connection now shows under the "Web Clients" tab and there is no longer a requirement to Approve the connection.  As you are seeing, the Assurance (NDP) connection still displays on the default pxGrid tab.

yes, I can see the dnac client name under Web Clients and the status is ON.

This is normal behavior as of 1.3.1. You are safe to delete the old offline DNAC clients. I recently experienced the exact same situation. HTH!
