Installed With UCS Traffic Monitor #7

Open ThomasMcDo opened 2 years ago

ThomasMcDo commented 2 years ago

Is it possible to install this with the UCS Traffic Monitor deployment?

paregupt commented 2 years ago

Yes. The steps are the same. Some hints are in the readme. Let me know if you need help.

ThomasMcDo commented 2 years ago

Thanks for the reply. Yes I understand that, but can I run both on the same host/Grafana instance?

paregupt commented 2 years ago

Yes.

ThomasMcDo commented 2 years ago

Excellent.... I shall give it a try...... I appreciate the quick response.

ThomasMcDo commented 2 years ago

The local_sys.json do I merge that with the current one for UCS?

paregupt commented 2 years ago

Don't merge. Just use one of them. Prefer from UTM.

ThomasMcDo commented 2 years ago

I don't see the dashboards, I just copied them to /usr/local/UTM/grafana/dashboards (switches.json and switchports.json).

root@utm dashboards]# python3 /usr/local/telegraf/mds_traffic_monitor*.py -h Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/telegraf/mds_traffic_monitor_high_frequency.py", line 17, in import requests ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'

Import dashbboards from grafana GUI. See this: https://www.since2k7.com/blog/2020/02/29/cisco-ucs-monitoring-using-grafana-influxdb-telegraf-utm-installation/#Import_dashboards

The other error is because Python module is missing, which shouldn't be the case with UTM VM because it has it installed. Did you install all the packages by yourself? Try installing requests module using pip3 install requests. Web search for more detials on installing Python modules.

ThomasMcDo commented 2 years ago

Installed the OVA and did a manual upgrade. The UCS part is working fine..

paregupt commented 2 years ago

ok, I missed. UTM doesn't need requests module, whereas MTM does it need it because of NX-API. Install it via

pip3 install requests

Let me know how it goes. If you want, we can get on a webex to make it work.

ThomasMcDo commented 2 years ago

I guess this could also be extended to NX-OS based Cisco switches.

paregupt commented 2 years ago

Yes, it can be extended but need some development and testing effort.

BTW, did it work?

ThomasMcDo commented 2 years ago

Yes, thank you for the helpful hints.

paregupt commented 2 years ago

Glad to know.

Anything you can share for helping others who do the same in the future? Installing the requests module is one thing. What else?

ThomasMcDo commented 2 years ago

I will upload a simple txt file with all the steps later today.... I am doing it again on a fresh install.. ;)
