Description

Monitors the Big Switch Networks - Switch Light performance metrics like host CPU utilization, number of TCAM (Ternary content addressable memory) FULLMATCH free entries available and TCAM (Ternary content addressable memory) FULLMATCH utilization.

Note: Currently, this template is created for BSN(Big Switch Network) BMF (Big Monitoring Fabric) 6.1 device, but it also may work for BCF (Big Cloud Fabric) device. Modify baselines as per your organization needs while copying this template to partner/client level.

Prerequisites

SNMP should be enabled in end device and device should support OCP-ONL-RESOURCE-MIB, OCP-MIB, OCP-ONL-MIB, OCP-ONL-PLATFORM-MIB, BIGSWITCH-MIB, BIGSWITCH-SWITCHLIGHT-MI OIDs and SNMP credentials should be attached against the device in portal.

How to Apply: This template is All instance selection based. It will not ask user to select any instance(s) while assigning it to a device.

Metric Parameters

Metric Parameters
ParameterDescription
Frequency
  • Frequency is the interval in which you want to probe and collect metric data from the target device/resource
  • Frequency is defined in minutes (min).
    • Warning ThresholdIf the metric value satisfies the condition defined along with Warning Threshold value, then a notification is sent to the user.
    Critical ThresholdIf the metric value satisfies the condition defined along with Critical Threshold value, then a notification is sent to the user.
    AlertThe alert value can be set to either Yes or No. If it is Yes, then an alert message is sent to the user.
