Nexus 7k Core switches - what do you monitor?!

We've just bought two new nexus 7k core switches for our new building, I've started to set them up in Solarwinds but wanting to see how/what people monitor on these type of switches?

Currently we will be splitting the switch into two virtual switches a Core and Distribution switch.

I'm curious how you are getting Power Supply, temp and other....I've got a mix of nx-os 6.1(3), and 6.2(2) in this same setup with seperate VDCs, and all I see is temp on all of them, and I'm also monitoring…

we are getting the following hardware health:
Admin - Temperature
Core VDC - Power Supply, Temperature and Other
Dist VDC - Power Supply, Temperature and Other
this is slightly weird as the sh env command on the Admin part of the switch shows all the power supplies.

We are using 6.2 monitoring each of the VDCs as a separate switch.
