So after reading the UCS monitoring article I found that we need to actually add the Manager & Fabrics (making use of the API keys for those).
However, it requires a few tweaks on the data sources part in order to avoid duplicated monitoring. Since the 'sysinfo' on the UCS stuff contains 'NX-OS' it grabs a bunch of extra stuff (that we actually don't require for UCS because those are already monitored via the new data sources suite).
The solution for us was tweaking all those data sources 'appliesTo' in order to remain the same & not get applied if the condition below is true.
- !hasCategory("CiscoUCSManager") && !hasCategory("CiscoUCSFabricInterconnect")
We had the need to do this because for a few UCS we also have 'snmp.community' on the same dynamic group (since it's a common group for CIMC's as well). Therefore, we need to make this filter to avoid SNMP datasources to be applied into UCS Manager resources.
This does exactly the trick for us. Not sure if it'll help anyone else, however, just sharing it.
On a side note, seems that LM also forgot about the CIMC (UCS C series) devices. Since they advise to disable the Legacy SNMP datasources but, those are also used by the CIMC device(s).
Once again, we followed the same logic & applied the same filter on those.
Thanks,
