NPM Monitor Cisco ACI

Marked as implemented.  This was released in NPM 12.4.  NPM 12.4 Is Now Generally Available!

We're working on this!

I'd recommend peeking at the beta, if you wish to see where this is at Impaler​ / CourtesyIT​.  Clearly this is a high priority focus for solarwinds going forward as it's near top of the feature list.

Yes, we need the feature on urgent basis else we will have to switch to other tool for this ACI monitoring. I believe, Solarwinds can add the functionality for the same.

Waiting to get positive response from Developers community.

We will be deploying ACI this July, and SDWAN Q1 next year. According to Cisco, ACI is being rapidly deployed at breakneck speed now that it's surpassed the "bleeding edge" and had some time to mature.  Hopefully full native support for these won't be as late as SIP support, which we've been waiting for for over a year now. It would be great if someone from SW would chime in here and give us an update.

Need this feature ASAP, Please.

This is a thing and it's coming. SolarWinds needs to get ahead of this and be able to monitor it natively.

Dear Marek

Please provide details on Document and check point you have done in Cisco ACI side mentioned as below. we are using Cisco ACI 2.2.

1- Places in fabrics where we have to configure SNMP

2- One or 2 Document referred by you to configure SNMP

3- what is OOB Management Contract ? Where to configure

-----

"To make that work though you need to do some prep on the ACI side of things -

namely enabling SNMP in a few places (yes, there's more one spot), and

additionally/separately you can set ACI to send SNMP Traps as well (or Syslog)

to Orion.  The documentation out there is sparse but there are one or two

documents that will get you there.  Note: The SNMP portions alone will get you

the Leaf & Spines, like any other Cisco switch polled by NPM, but with ACI

3.x (maybe even 2.3 or 2.2) to get the APICs you need to define an OOB

Management contract to allow Orion to query the APICs (assuming you're using out

of fabric connections for OOBM [recommended]) - that part doesn't seem to be

included in a lot of the info on the Internet and took me a bit to run across.

It sounds like Marek​ has it working and it just takes some configuration on the Cisco side (Big surprise).

We will be deploying ACI3.x soon, this would be a great feature
