Prime Infrastructure monitor link Bandwidth

Hello,
I would like to know if is possible to monitor a link bandwidth with Cisco Prime Infrastructure and send an e-mail when the bandwidth utilization exceeds a certain threshold.
Thank you,
Marco Bartulihe

Hi Marco,
To monitor the Bandwidth utilization , you need to have "Assurance License" .
To use this feature "Interface Tx and Rx Utilization", your Prime Infrastructure
implementation must include Assurance licenses.
See below User Guide:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/1.2/user/guide/capchange.html
Here is the Prime Infrastructure Ordering Guide where it explains the Assurance feature:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/netmgtsw/ps6504/ps6528/ps12239/guide_c07-714720

Hope it will help
Thanks-

Cisco Prime Infrastructure MESH LINK ISSUE

Hi,
a Customer of us has a trouble with cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2.0.12 and AP mesh link.
There is an huge database ( i suppose the issue can be here ) and when we display some map ( each floor has about 6 RAP and 24 MAP ) we cannot see the MESH information and link draw.
The only way to dipley them is to disable "refresh from network": this way I'm able to show these link..... until a click before.
What i noticied when all was working fine, after i click to some floor:
1) the software started to show the map with normal color and no mesh info displayed ( just ap and coverage cloud )
2) after few time ( less than 1 second ) the map was becoming a little bit lighter and the mesh info was merged to the map
We are missini the second step
Anyone had the same issue ?
best regards
Luigi
PS: I opened a case with WCS version 6.0 ( same issue ) but, after some months, no risult. The last version working fine was WCS 5.2

Just to add some more informations:
- disabling "refreshj from network" ( building properties ) the link and mesh info are showed
- while I'm on a floor, after some refresh, i loose the mesh link draw and, if i click on an AP, i loose also mesh info in the popup. It' s like, after some refresh, the AP are no more recognized as Mesh ( !?!? )
regards
Luigi

Does Prime, any variant, do bandwidth monitoring?

I have been looking at Prime Infrastructure, trying to eliminate a mix of Entuity's Eye of the Storm and BMC's Network Automation. The LMS bit of CPI seems to cover what BMC does, with out any gaps. But my manager was interested in the reports on bandwidth utilization of key links. Entuity's Eye (Or NetScout, SolarWinds NPM, and such) would let you pick an interface or two and show the IN/OUT stats. From what I can tell, CPI is primarily aimed at TOP-N based statistics in a more general sense. Does anyone use a variant of Prime to watch traffic stats, and if so, what modules sould I be looking at?
Nick

Another reason to stick with Prime LMS for most non-wireless management for now. Assurance requires a separate license, an end device that supports Netflow, setting up exporters, etc.
Why in the world would PI not have a simple report you could generate based on the standard SNMP ifInOctets / if OutOctets MIB variables like every other network management system built in the past 20 years?!

UPS monitoring support with Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2

Dear Members,
Good day,
I am having a project implemented wherein i have the UPS power redudancy solution for our network devices.
Now can anyone gide that is it possible for below :-
UPS units installed with SNMP cards be monitored via Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 as our monitoring & management solution is Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 ?
if yes
Can you guide if following action would be possible to export the below logs from UPS unit to our Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2
   a) UPS fault status information
   b) UPS operational status(input power available Y/N)
   c) Battery fault status
   d) Battery charging current
   e) Battery charge level
   f) Output current
Conclusion is we need to confirm that would it be posible to achieve remote monitoring of these UPS units via our CPI 1.2
Thanks in Advance for your support & replies to this query.
Regards,
Muzammil N.

Prime Infrastructure 1.2 can manage non-Cisco devices in a limited fashion via SNMP query and trap processing. It cannot import logs and does not have a generic syslog server,
So if your devices have snmp read only support and can generate SNMP traps for the above you can add them to PI. Follow the manual add device procedure here.

Monitoring ASA in Cisco Prime infrastructure 2.2

Hi everybody. I have some issue with cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2. We use this product in our network for monitoring network devices and I need to monitor also our ASA 5550 device with soft 8.4. I added ASA to Cisco PI but see only basic component like my device can reachable via and read via snmp. But cannot see CPU, RAM, Device ENV like Temperature, l2l vpn connection, Interfaces status and Utilization that interfaces, cannot see sub interface that placed on ASA like that g0/0.20. I need fully monitor ASA and See logs and trap for my device:
CPU RAM ENV (Temperature), Interface and sub interface status, L2L VPN Status.
1 Cisco Prime infrastructure can full support ASA for monitoring and logging.. IF YES how can i configure that features in Cisco PI 2.2 for ASA
2 IF not which product Can full support that features for full monitoring and logging ASA devices
I have a little deadline for finishing
thanks everybody before

I've not success monitoring ASA interface utilization either. I'm using PI 2.2 with device update #1. The ASA is a 5585-X with 9.2(3) software.
I have deployed the PI monitoring template to the ASA and do see its overall status and PI has enumerated the interfaces in the device page.
I even looked at a packet capture and see PI querying the values of the interface counters and those values being sent back to PI - yet I cannot select any ASA interface when drilling down under Performance Detail monitoring.
When I get some free time I will open a TAC case on it, meanwhile I am getting all the info I need from the upstream and downstream switches.

Cisco Prime infrastructure Change severity Switches and hubs - link down alarm

Hi, I want to change the severity of the link down alarm in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3, but in the menu Administration -> System Settings -> Severity Configuration i can not find the alarm. Some body knows where is it? o where i can change the severity of that alarm?
Thanks in advanced.

Hi Rollin and Daniel,
the first test i did changing the severity was with a new installation, with no devices added and it worked, when i did it in a Prime infrastructure with devices added it didn´t work, well, for this Prime with devices i upgraded it with the patch for 1.3 version and now it works too, the alarms is ok as the alarm severity, this is the link for the patch:
http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=284652876&flowid=38562&softwareid=284272933&release=1.3.0&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=all
i hope this helps,

Monitoring end devices Prime Infrastructure 2.2

Hi every one.
We are doing a deployment of a Cisco Prime infrastructure 2.2 for one of our customers. He need to monitor the availability of some end devices over his network; devices like Pcs and PLCs (Programable Logical Control), this devices are connected to a cisco switch.
The customer wants to know the operative status of the devices and receive an email alert if one of them is off line.
I try to do it using the port group functionality, but is no working. Do you know any maner to do it?.
Please, in really I´m desperate. We need to show the solution next Wenesday 14th january.
Thanks in advance

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 import image via WAN link failed.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 behind NAT that can copy image on device to Cisco Prime infra but can not deploy from Cisco Prime Infra import image from device. How to solve problem,please ?

Have you downloaded and applied the latest Device Pack updates?
PI enhanced ASA support after the initial 2.0 release and the Device Packs incorporate that change.
The README file for Device Packs explains how to install them. (A bug currently does not allow the direct download in PI so you need to follow the method for installation from local storage after you manually download. Here is a link to the download location.

Monitoring Power Supplies in Prime Infrastructure 2.1

Hi,
Prime Infrastructure is capable of monitoring the power supplies from Cisco devices? Where can I see this feature on PI 2.1? is there any option to enable this, if it's capable?
Thanks

There are two options :
1. You poll the devices for Power supply and see the report based on it.
2. You can configure your devices for environment traps and the device will send traps to PI which can be used as an alert/Alarm in PI.
Envmon traps in Cisco devices can be configured using snmp-server enable traps envmon command.
This command enables or disables Environmental Monitor (EnvMon) status notifications for supported systems. Cisco enterprise EnvMon notifications are triggered when an environmental threshold is exceeded. If none of the optional keywords are specified, all available environmental notifications are enabled.
When the shutdown keyword is used, a ciscoEnvMonShutdownNotification (enterprise MIB OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.3.1) is sent if the environmental monitor detects a testpoint reaching a critical state and is about to initiate a shutdown.
When the voltage keyword is used, a ciscoEnvMonVoltageNotification (enterprise MIB OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.3.2) is sent if the voltage measured at a given testpoint is outside the normal range for the testpoint (that is, at the warning, critical, or shutdown stage). For access servers, this notification is defined as the caemVoltageNotification (enterprise MIB OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.61.2.2).
When the temperature keyword is used, a ciscoEnvMonTemperatureNotification (enterprise MIB OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.3.3) is sent if the temperature measured at a given testpoint is outside the normal range for the testpoint (i.e. is at the warning, critical, or shutdown stage). For access servers, this notification is defined as the caemTemperatureNotification (enterprise MIB OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.61.2.1).
When the fan keyword is used, a ciscoEnvMonFanNotification (enterprise MIB OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.3.4) is sent if any one of the fans in a fan array fails.
When the supply keyword is used, a ciscoEnvMonRedundantSupplyNotification (enterprise MIB OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.2.5) is sent if a redundant power supply fails.
For a complete description of these notifications and additional MIB functions, see the CISCO-ENVMON-MIB.my and CISCO-ACCESS-ENVMON-MIB.my files, available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/public/mibs/v2/.
Status of the Environmental Monitor can be viewed using the show environment command.
The snmp-server enable traps envmon command is used in conjunction with the snmp-server host command. Use the snmp-server host command to specify which host or hosts receive SNMP notifications. To send SNMP notifications, you must configure at least one snmp-server host command.

Does Cisco Prime Infrastructure supports monitoring CPU,Memory, HDD for UCS , VMWare?

Does Cisco Prime Infrastructure supports monitoring CPU,Memory, HDD for UCS , VMWare?

Prime Infrastructure/ Assurance is positioned today more towards managing network elements and network performance, rather than server infrastructure. We are in the process of adding Datacenter component support, with more focus on Nexus and UCS- due later this year.
Having said that, Prime Infrastructure allows the system user to add custom SNMP polling templates, which can then be used for polling any SNMP based values from any SNMP enabled device. These can be used to collect the information you specified below and the polled information will be available in dashboards and reports.

Will Prime Infrastructure 2.0 monitor server 2008?

Prime Infrastructure 2.0 monitor server 2008? Will any of the future versions include system monitoring?
Thanks, Scott

It can do so in a limited way now. You need to enable the SNMP service on your server and set community strings etc.
Once you do that, you can add it as a device in Prime Infrastructure. I doubt it will ever be a complete system monitor like a server management tool. PI is fundamentally a network management tool.
FYI here are the steps for enabling SNMP agent on your Windows server:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb726987.aspx
Make sure to add your Prime server as an authorized host and setup the community string. Once you've done that, you should be able to sync with it as an added device in Device Center. Here is my Windows 2008 R2 server added thus in PI 2.0:

Ask the Expert: One Management with Prime Infrastructure 1.2

With Tejas Shah
Welcome to the Cisco Support Community Ask the Expert conversation. This is an opportunity to learn and ask questions from Cisco expert Tejas Shah on One Management with Prime Infrastructure 1.2 Combining the wireless functionality of Cisco Prime Network Control System (NCS) with the wired functionality of Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution (LMS), Cisco Prime Infrastructure simplifies and automates many of the day-to-day tasks associated with maintaining and managing the end-to-end network infrastructure from a single pane of glass. The new converged solution delivers all of the existing wireless capabilities for RF management, user access visibility, reporting, and troubleshooting along with wired lifecycle functions such as discovery, inventory, configuration and image management, automated deployment, compliance reporting, integrated best practices, and reporting.

Raun, please see my responses inline:
Can you go over the licensing method with Prime Infrastructure 1.2 please?
Raun, you can check out the following link for ordering guide at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps12239/products_data_sheets_list.html
I currently have NCS and do NOT currently have LMS. I know I can move to Prime Infrastructure through Cisco Product Upgrade Tool. However, what I am confused about is do I still have to buy LMS to have LMS functionality in Prime Infrastructure 1.2?
==> Not at all. The converged product will give you basic management capability for routers and switches that LMS provided in this release. Feature/Functionality will keep on growing with upcoming releases.
If not, do the licenses I transfer into Prime Infrastructure 1.2 from NCS also work for devices to work under LMS?
==> Licensing is different than NCS or LMS. You don't have to transfer the license. Each install of Prime Infrastructure will have a unique UID string on which the licenses are based. A new license will be applied to the product.
Mean, can my currently 350 licenses be used for AP's as in NCS and routers in the LMS portion of Prime Infrastructure 1.2?
==> I would recommend getting a total count of your wired and wireless devices and match the right SKU based on that.
Hope this helps.. Let me know if you have any further questions,
Tejas

Prime Infrastructure 2.0 Automatically add remove devices

Dears,
I'm basically looking for a dcrcli equivalent to use on prime infrastructure 2.0.
Customer has a central repository of devices that must be monitored. When devices are added or removed there, they automagically appear or disappear in the other systems.
Does something like this exist or is this on the roadmap?
Cheers,
Michel

Hi Scott,
Upto 7.3 config guide it was documented we have to reboot WLC when we configuring SNMP v3 which is wrong. (here is 7.3 config guide link for reference). May be older version (prior to 7.0) had that requirement, not too sure about it
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/7.3/configuration/guide/b_wlc-cg_chapter_0100.html#d16741e4514a1635
From 7.4 onwards config guide does not talk about it all. I deleted the default SNMPv3 user & create a new user in 7.4 & add it to prime without rebooting WLC.
Once you configureed a SNMPv3 user on a WLC, I do no think you can edit/change the password. You have to delete the user & recreate it with modified username/password.Then re-add the WLC to prime
The behaviour you mentioned is with any of later codes of WLC ?

Prime Infrastructure 2.0 does not show Planning Mode

Hi,
I´d like to know if evaluation version of Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 (PRIME-NCS-VAPL) does not provide the feature "Planning Mode" to conduct a Predictive Site Survey.
Monitor>Site Maps>Select an Site>
At the drop down list (select a command), I can´t see planning mode. The options are: New Building, New Outdoor Area, Edit Campus/Site, Delete Campus/Site, Configure Interferer Notifications.
I also notice that "Add Access Points" does not appear.
see the att image.
Tks.

Hi ,
1. Monitor > Site Maps
2. Select the appropriate location link from the list that appears.
A color-coded map appears showing placement of all installed elements (access points, clients, tags) and their relative signal strength.
CLICK on the " color-coded map "
Now on the right hand side Drop Down Menu , you should be able to see the "Planning Mode"
