Create a credential

  1. Select a client from the All Clients list.
  2. Go to Setup > Accounts > Clients.
  3. On the client Credentials tab, add the credential information.

Configure and install the integration

  1. From All Clients, select a client.
  2. Navigate to Setup > Account.
  3. Select the Integrations and Apps tab.
  4. The Installed Integrations page, where all the installed applications are displayed. If there are no installed applications, it will navigate to the Available Integrations and Apps page.
  5. Click + ADD on the Installed Integrations page. The Available Integrations and Apps page displays all the available applications along with the newly created application with the version.
    Note: Search for the application using the search option available. Alternatively, use the All Categories option to search.
  6. Click ADD in the Cisco HyperFlex application.
  7. In the Configuration page, enter the below information:
FunctionalityDescription
NameEnter the name for the configuration.
Ip AddressEnter the IP address.
CredentialSetSelect the CredentialSet from the drop-down list.

Note: Click + Add to create a credential.
  1. From the FILTER CRITERIA section, select:

    • SMART: Use to filter resources based on the resource type.
    • RESOURCE: Use to filter resources based on certain resource attributes.
  2. In the FILTER BY RESOURCE TYPE section, select:

    • ALL: All the existing and future resources will be discovered.
    • SELECT: You can select one or multiple resources to be discovered.
    • Enter the Key, Operator, and Value information.
  3. From the Perform Actions section, choose Manage Device to set the resources as managed.

  4. In the DISCOVERY SCHEDULE section, select recurrence pattern to add one of the following patterns:

    • Minutes
    • Hourly
    • Daily
    • Weekly
    • Monthly
  5. (Optional) Under the ADVANCED SETTINGS, Select the Bypass Resource Reconciliation option, if you wish to bypass resource reconciliation when encountering the same resources discovered by multiple applications.

    Note: If two different applications provide identical discovery attributes, two separate resources will be generated with those respective attributes from the individual discoveries.

  6. Click NEXT.

Supported templates

The gateway is the collector type for the following supported HyperFlex metrics:

NameDescription
HyperflexAlarmTemplateMonitors HyperflexAlarmMonitor metrics
HyperflexClusterEventsTemplateMonitors HyperflexClusterEventsMonitor metrics
HyperflexClusterPerformanceTemplateMonitors HyperflexClusterPerformanceMonitor metrics
HyperflexClusterTemplateMonitors HyperflexClusterMonitor metrics

Event processing

Event data is collected from the configured Hyperflex cluster and posted directly to alerts. The following templates do data collection and post alerts:

  • CI-HyperflexAlarmTemplate
  • CI-HyperflexClusterEventsTemplate

These templates do not have metric graphs or the latest snapshot data.

View the Cisco HyperFlex details

Assign monitoring templates to the resource

  1. Go to Infrastructure > Resources.
  2. From the Cisco HyperFlex resources page, click the resource name and go to the resource details.
  3. Go to Monitors > Template.
  4. From the Templates screen, click +Assign Templates.
  5. From the Apply Templates screen, go to Select Templates > Available templates and select the templates.
  6. Click Assign.

Validation the resource is successfully added

The gateway monitors the application using the assigned templates and displays the results in a graphical format.

To confirm that the device is being monitored, review the following:

  • The graph plotted for each metric in the template.
  • Alerts generated for metrics in the template by giving thresholds.
