Overview

Cisco devices are a critical component in your network infrastructure. The Generic Cisco Device monitoring extension allows for remote monitoring of your Cisco network devices via the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

Use cases

  • Monitor resource usage of network components
  • Detect and alert on issues with critical protocols such as BGP
  • Identify problems with network interfaces

Get started

For more information on the installation and configuration, please see Generic Cisco Device extension in the Dynatrace Documentation.

Details

Compatibility information

This extension is designed to generically provide visibility into a wide variety of Cisco network devices. Only products still supported by Cisco will be officially supported but it can be used to monitor any devices that meet the requirements for SNMP connectivity and support the MIBs and OIDs used.

Full version history

⚠️WARNING⚠️: Possible breaking changes and warnings - PLEASE READ before upgrading:

  • This version requires a minimum Dynatrace version of 1.338.0 and a minimum EEC version of 1.333.0.
  • This version includes a potentially breaking change for Dynatrace on Grail.
    • With the inclusion of OpenPipeline processing rules, any metrics ingested from the extension will be processed by a dedicated OpenPipeline pipeline instead of the default pipeline.
    • This means that any created custom dynamic rules will no longer be used on metrics ingested from the extension. If you want to keep enforcing them, please create pipeline groups.
    • Additionally, some field names are handled differently in OpenPipeline, e.g. capitalization. Please double-check any custom dashboards and alerts you have created for this extension.
    • You must opt-in to OpenPipeline configuration via Settings API – see the documentation.

New in this version:

  • Smartscape on Grail. This extension will populate new Smartscape nodes and edges via OpenPipeline extraction.
  • Refactored feature sets according to the best practices established here.
  • Added feature set metadata for recommended metrics.

Full version history

⚠️ IMPORTANT: This version contains a change to feature sets that may require enabling a new feature set to continue collecting existing data

⚠️ Changes in this version:

  • Metric com.dynatrace.extension.snmp-generic-cisco-device.component.state moved from default feature set to new entity-enrichment feature set
    • This metric is used to enrich entities created by the extension with stack name, model name, and serial number

Full version history

⚠️ Metric com.dynatrace.extension.network_device.lldp_neighbor was renamed to com.dynatrace.extension.snmp-generic-cisco-device.lldp_neighbor to avoid conflicts with generic network topology rules

Changes

  • Require all dimensions exist for entity creation
  • Update latest dashboard to use link to IO App Network view for listing entities

Fixes

  • sys.name and mac.address dimensions are required on all network metrics and filtered for empty values. This caused unnecessary stress on topology engine
  • Update Cisco interface entity to only use (and require sys.name OID)
    • Previous version required device.name which would not be available if the IP address cannot be resolved via DNS

Full version history

✨ New in this version:

Minimum ActiveGate version: 1.307

Changes

  • Adds BGP peer connection established time to "BGP" feature set

Full version history

⚠️ IMPORTANT CHANGE:

Metrics in "default" feature set will always be enabled and cannot be disabled. These metrics are mandatory. Take extra caution configuring devices and interfaces for which you are collecting data. Make use of Interface filters to limit the number of interfaces, otherwise, all interfaces on the device will be collected by default. In case you do not wish to collect interfaces on your device, enter $eq(!) in the "Interface Name" filter field on the Feature Sets screen during configuration.

These metrics introduced into the "default" feature set are per interface and cannot be disabled but can be filtered.

  • com.dynatrace.extension.network_device.if.bytes_in.count

Major version update - please review release notes fully

Breaking changes

  • In order to support some BGP data that comes from the non-Cisco BGP MIB, the existing BGP feature set was renamed to "Cisco BGP" and the new data is under "BGP".
