Cisco UCS Central SNMP Configuration for Zabbix

[SrikanthV]

Hi,

We are trying to configure Zabbix for Alerting and monitoring of Cisco UCS.

can you guide me on how to do this.?

UCS Central 2.0(1i)

Zabbix version 3.4.

Thank you.

If you are looking for help with Zabbix specifically, you should check out their forum. For UCS configuration, you would just be modifying SNMP configuration per Zabbix instruction.

Hello @Wes Austin  and @SrikanthV 

I have become a Zabbix convert recently and I was trying to add CIMC to Zabbix via IPMI. I know IPMI is working because I can get output from the ipmitool. But Zabbix ain't playing ball. Anyone had any luck with UCS and Zabbix using IPMI instead of SNMP?
