Data Collection Setup
Metrics are collected via the NX-API v1.0+ on Cisco Nexus and MDS devices.
Enable NX-API on all Nexus Switches
NOTE: If using NX-API, you must enable NX-API on all switches (Run the command feature nxapi from the NX-OS CLI).
Troubleshooting and Checking NX-API
Check NX-API status on port. Use CLI command show nxapi on the switch to see configured NX-API ports.
Networking Requirements
Port: 80 (HTTP) or 443 (HTTPS) to the Nexus or MDS devices.
Least Privileged User
A least privileged user (LPU) of Network Operator (read-only) for NX-API.
