Prime Infrastructure - Custom SNMP Template

Hi,
Has anyone managed to get the Custom SNMP Template to work in PI 2.x? I can't get it to present any relevant data (yes, with generic dashlets).
I've tried to pull CISCO-ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB and other third-party MIBs with no luck.
I'm starting to suspect this is yet another not-so-ready-feature of PI....
Regards,
Johan

PI2.1 Can I apply any Threshold Template to my Custom SNMP Template.

PI2.1 Can I apply any Threshold Template to my Custom SNMP Template?
For example, generate alarm if EIGRP down:)
Thanks, Oleg

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to apply HoverPanel display template to a custom Item_CommonItem_Body display template in sharepoint search results.
You need to download a copy of the display template, then change the hoverUrl variable to point the HoverPanel display template.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 Template Application Logs

So I'm pushing out a config template to my APs via CPI1.3 (Configure, Lightweight AP Configuration Templates; select template; select my APs, Apply).
I get a "Partial Success" to a few of my APs. When I hit "Details" for these partial successes I get precious little details.
So I go to check the server/appliance log (Administration, Logging, Download Log File). The log "file" is an archive of all logs on the appliance. All are in one folder of the archive, and the names are less than enlightening. Checking the most promising filenames does not seem to contain anything relevant to the push task.
So, which log file do I look into for actual details of the results of an AP configuration template push?

Using System Logs
Prime Infrastructure logs all error, informational, and trace messages generated by all devices that are managed by Prime Infrastructure.
Prime Infrastructure also logs all SNMP messages and Syslogs it receives.
You can download and email the logs to use for troubleshooting Prime Infrastructure.
Step 1 Choose Administration > Logging. The General Logging Options Screen appears.
Step 2 Choose a Message Level.
Step 3 Check the check boxes within the Enable Log Module option to enable various administration modules. Check the Log Modules option to select all modules.
Step 4 In the Log File Settings portion, enter the following settings. These settings will be effective after restarting Prime Infrastructure.
Note The log file prefix can include the characters "%g" to sequentially number of files.
Step 5 Click the Download button to download the log file to your local machine.
Note The logs.zip filename includes a prefix with the host name, date, and time so that you can easily identify the stored log file. Included in the zip file is an html file that documents the log files.
Step 6 Enter the Email ID or Email IDs separated by commas to send the log file.
Note To send the log file in a mail you must have Email Server Configured.
Step 7 Click Submit.

Prime Infrastructure blocks SNMP during sync causing PRTG alarms

We're running Prime Infrastructure 1.2, and until yesterday we were mainly using it for wireless monitoring. We use PRTG for monitoring the state of the rest of the network. I added our core router (6509-E w/VSS), and during syncs, we will get PRTG alarms (SNMP traffic sensors) saying "No response". The downtime is ~5 minutes (which is the PRTG scanning interval). So, it seems like Prime is preventing other SNMP traffic during the syncs. Is this normal? I don't really like the thought of receiving a boatload of false alarms several times a day.

Hi Brian:
Prime Infrastructure 1.2.0.103 was deferred and removed from Cisco.com in favor of 1.2.1.12, for a number of issues. The current release is 1.3.0.20 Update 1. Between the two, there have been a number of fixes with regards to Java threads being locked, amount of system resources being used by the Oracle engine, size of the backups, and a lot more. You may want to look into getting current to see if the behavior changes.
Clarifying the upgrade path to Prime Infrastructure 1.3.0.20 Update 1
Given the volume of data polled during sync cycles, I could see where Prime Infrastructures questions might dominate or even overwhelm the router's SNMP agent, but there's no process that puts an access-list to prevent the agent processing any other station's traffic while sync is going on. You may want to check the CPU utilization of the SNMP agent (show process cpu | i SNMP ENGINE) before, during and after the sync to see what impact the sync has.

Prime Infrastructure 2.1 Template Error

I have created a template to be applied to a group of access points. When I run the template, the template does not get applied to the ap's. I attached a screenshot of the results. Can someone take a look and see what I am missing? TIA

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 (1.3.0.20) Custom snmp

After importing custom snmp MIB and deploying it I cannot find where can I see the pulled data?
Where do I go to create custom report or custom dashlet to show data pulled through custom mib and custom snmp template?
thx

Hi Bart
Take a look on the PI user guide for version 2.0.
On page A-7 you see how to Add the Generic Dashlet and map it to your custom SNMP template.
For me it works OK for table display the attributes.
When I change for Chart display I can not choose the attribute to plot.
I allways get ifIndex as attribute to plot.
I am using the RFC1213 mib and the ifTable.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 - Network Topology error

He dears,
My Customer has installed over UCS Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2.
The network is composed with Switches nexus 93962-px and 2960x. All devices were discovered and inventoried successfully.
The problems is that Network Topology is not showing the connections between devices. Some devices connections are showed (partially) and another not.
We've already checked that CDP is run and working fine on all of switches.
I appreciate your help!
Tks,
Regis

I'm sorry to say that but Prime Infrastructure does not support IP SLA functionality similar to Cisco Prime LMS:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/netmgtsw/ps6504/ps6528/ps12239/guide_c07-729089.html
It's in the developer's plans but there's no schedule yet for this feature.
It's possible to manually configure IP SLA on the device and then define Custom SNMP templates in Prime Infrastructure and poll whatever information you might consider relevant.
This isn't user friendly (exact OID needs to be typed manually) and is a bit quite complicated, though.
-Thanks
Vinod

Onplus - Generic custom SNMP monitors

Hi,
I just got an OnPlus agent today and playing with its capabilities. I have a few questions.
1. I have a customer who has a few non Cisco switches too. These are snmp capable switches. Can you define a custom monitor within OnPlus to monitor specific OIDs?
2. Does OnPlus process snmptraps and syslogs too? If I configure all cisco devices to send traps and syslogs to OnPlus, can I get it to generate the alerts on certain match conditions?
3. Does it do any kind of performance reporting at all? e.g. Interface utilization, CPU etc. for 5 min, 1 hour, daily etc.
Thanks in advance,
Sam

Change Interface availability threshold from Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0

Dear Community,
I’m working in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 and I’m having the following problem:
I want to monitor the interfaces availability from all the devices of my network. But only makes sense send an email notification for the most critical interfaces. I don´t want to receive an email notification every time anyone unplugs the network wire.
How can I achieve this?
I already tried to change the interface availability threshold from the Interface Health Threshold Template, but this one isn´t available to configure.
The idea was to change the severity of the alarm so I could distinguish what type of alarm would send email notification.
I also created a Custom SNMP Template that gets the ifOperStatus using the MIB IF-MIB. This also didn’t work because Prime Infrastructure doesn’t allow me to define thresholds to a Custom SNMP Template.
Without threshold, no alarm, without no alarm, no email notification!
Can you help?
Regards,
Daniel CJ

Only on the HA pair which would be the secondary.
High Availability (HA) RTU: If Cisco Prime Infrastructure is deployed in a high availability configuration with one primary and one secondary instance in an HA pair, then an HA RTU is required. You only need to purchase a single set of the regular licenses (for example, Base, Lifecycle, and so on) for the primary instance.

Adding new switch in my network including Cisco Prime Infrastructure

hi all,
if I connect new switch to my network, can I let Cisco PI to apply a specific template of configuration to this switch automatically?
how can I do that ?
thanks in advance

Hi,
i followed these steps :
SWITCH SIDE
- configured Prime Infrastructure as snmp-server host;
- enabled snmp-traps for linkup and linkdown events globally;
- disabled snmp-traps for linkup and linkdown on non relevant interfaces using the no snmp trap link-status command
PRIME INFRASTRUCTURE SIDE
- under "Deploy/Monitor Deployment" i deployed template "Interface Health" for all the interested switches
- under "Administration/System Settings/Mail Server Configuration" configured my internal SMTP server to make Prime Infrastructure able to send e-mails
- under "Operate/Alarms & Events" click on "Email Notifications" , then on "Switches and Hubs"
- check the "critical" box , insert the destination e-mail address into the "To" field then click "Save"
- check the "switches and Hubs" box and then click Save
As i know is possible to avoid to configure every single not-interesting port on the switches with "no snmp trap link-status" command (it's a bit annoying when you have tens of switches), using Port Grouping configuration on PI but i tried it without success.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,

Including Interface Description in Cisco PRime Infrastructure Alarm Message

Hi all,
i succesfully configured a Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 applliance to display an alarm and to send me an e-mail when switch uplink ports goes down.
The text displayed in alarm message is :
port 'interface_id' is down on device 'device_ip_address'
I'd like to include in this text also the interface description so the text will display :
port 'interface_id' 'interface_descriprion' is down on device 'device_ip_address'
Is this possible?
Thankyou in advance

Prime Infrastructure 2.0 - Fan Status

Hi,
I created a Custom SNMP template to check the devices' Fan status.
I deployed this template for all my devices (3750, 4510R, Nexus 7k and Nexus 5596). I noticed that is getting data for all unless Nexus 5596 ( 5.1(3)N2(1b)).
The strange is that's possible to check fan status in the Device Details. Check below
Does anybody know what's the problem???
THanks,
Patricia Oliveira

Disable the trap from the configuration on the switches you don't want to get messages from. So depending on what kind of switch it would be something like:
conf t
no snmp-server enable traps linkdown linkup
Your string may different, there are several options that can be included in this line. You may have to remove the whole line and readd it with only the options you want.

Prime Infrastructure (2.0) utilization report on port group possible?

Hello
I want to create an interface utilization report for a specific port group in PI, but can't see how to do that in the report setting. You only seem to be able to select a specific device or site rather than port group. Is it possible? Also, is it possible to put that on a dashlet?
thanks for your help

Thanks for that Mahavir
Yes, I worked that out a little while ago, and can now see interface utilization by port group on the Performance > Network Interface page. I do have another question however (well two)....
I wanted to add graph over time for the utilization to the detail dashboard, but nothing shows up, even though I see the utilization in the network interface page, so I'm sure the monitoring is deployed. Why is the data missing from the graphs?
Also, I wanted to see interface packets per second graphs, but see that is not part of any default template, so I created a customer SNMP template from the IF-MIB to do this, but I can only deploy that against sites/devices or a list of interfaces, and not port groups. Why can't I deploy a customer SNMP template against a port group?
thanks for your help

Prime 2.2 : Deploy template to port group

Dear Cisco guys,
We managed to make a port group, we managed to make a template, but how do you couple both ?
For example : Change description on fa0/1 & fa0/2 in switchA ?
Many thanks,
