Is it possible to add Cisco Switches in Nabox too?

Great Release Guys! I absolutely love the new Cisco Dashboard for the Metrocluster Switches 😍

#

did you need for the Cisco Switches in Nabox a new Datacenter name? We used the datacenter Name of our IP-Metro and didn't see the new Dashboard ...

As @sacred flume mentioned above, he's currently working on adding support for Cisco switches to the Nabox UI. You can add a Cisco poller manually to Nabox by following the steps below:

import the dashboard from GitHub
add your switches to /etc/nabox/harvest/harvest.yml similar to this, updating $addr, $user, $port, and $pass with your values. $port needs to be different from the other ports in your harvest.yml

switch1:
    datacenter: rtp
    addr: $addr
    username: $user
    port: $port              
    password: $pass
    use_insecure_tls: true
    collectors:
        - CiscoRest

One doubt about the recent release and the inclusion of Cisco N3K and N9K monitoring with Harvest 25.05. The minimum release which can be monitored which harvest is nxos 9.3.12, It is correct?

#

Hi @opal patio The versioned directory you saw at conf/ciscorest/nxos/9.3.12 will work for earlier versions of Cisco N3K and N9K too

#

Okis, I was asking because we have N3K intracluster swiches and we have implemented one for testing but the information wasn't received on prometheus. I have a user for read only and I enable the nxapi on switch where I tested. So I don't know if I am missing something or what happens.

Can you share the log files for that poller?

opal patio Jun 2, 2025, 3:24 PM

#

I have another question about Nabox and Harvest, I was asumming that both deployments of harvest has the same dashboards but it seems nabox has more information in dashboards about SGRID. It is correct?
Thanks.

#

south ravine Can you share the log files for that poller?

Sure. To the email ng-harvest-files@netapp.com?

south ravine Jun 2, 2025, 3:25 PM

#

yes, please. thanks!

south ravine Jun 2, 2025, 3:27 PM

#

opal patio I have another question about Nabox and Harvest, I was asumming that both deploy...

the only Grafana dashboard that Nabox ships with that is not from Harvest is the NAbox dashboard. The others are from the Harvest binary you install on Nabox.

#

Can you copy/paste an image of the discrepancy?

opal patio Jun 2, 2025, 3:41 PM

#

south ravine yes, please. thanks!

perfect, I have sent you the info.
