Cisco ASR 9000 monitoring

I'm now supporting a customer that has several ASR 9000 series devices and SolarWinds monitoring. 

  • I'm seeing Hardware Power issues reporting power supply on a slot and all the CPUs - they are showing as fault, but the cards are not showing fault on the device. Is there a better monitor to enable? i.e. custom poller? etc?
  • Any additional tips for monitoring these devices?

  • We don't have any 9000's (only 1000 series) and all of them are owned/managed by ISPs. As such we only monitor routing, availability and up/down. But just checked and teh 1000 series don't even have a checkbox for hardware health.

    That said, my observations from other Cisco kit that has "similar issues" is that we disable the built-in monitoring and instead build our own UnDP Pollers.

    One (/two) other thoughts... what version of Orion are you running as if an older version it may help to upgrade and in a similar vein have you updated the MIBS recently?
