Generic Cisco DeviceGeneric Cisco Device
Monitor Cisco devices using SNMP to feed Dynatrace with metrics and alerts.
Extension- Product information
- Release notes
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
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.

Changed in this version
network:interfaceentities created by the extension are named after theifName(name) OID instead ofifDescr(description) OID. This resolves an issue with Network Neighbors not correctly related at interface level
⚠️ Note: any settings/configuration based on the names of network:interface entities may need adjusting due to the above change

⚠️ 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.

Notice:
- If upgrading to this version from version 2.x.x, please read the release notes for version 3.1.0 first, before upgrading.
🪲 Fixed in this version:
- Removed duplicate cards on Unified Analysis screens related to
FRUfeature set.
Full version history
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". Configurations will be able to be updated without re-creation, but if you were using the BGP feature set you must enable the Cisco BGP feature set in order to keep collecting that data.
New features
- Several new feature sets for network peer metrics (feature sets named accordingly)
- BGP (BGP4-MIB)
- OSPF (OSPF-MIB)
- EIGRP (CISCO-EIGRP-MIB)
- New FRUs (Field Replaceable Units) feature set
- Fan and PSU statuses
- From CISCO-ENTITY-FRU-CONTROL-MIB
- CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Checksum) Errors metric is added to the Interfaces feature set
- Advanced sensors
- New feature set that can report the 'raw' sensor values and statuses for sensors available in CISCO-ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB
- Because all sensor types are reported via the same OID, there is no way to properly set metadata
- Use the available dimensions to properly filter and make use of the values for the needed use cases
- New gen3 dashboard added
