Operating system: Out-Of-Band

This connector is not available for the local host (it is applicable to remote hosts only).

Prerequisites

Leverages: Cisco UCS RedFish REST API

Technology and protocols: HTTP

Examples

CLI

metricshub HOSTNAME -t oob -c +CiscoUCSC885A --https --http-port 443 -u USERNAME

metricshub.yaml

resourceGroups:
  <RESOURCE_GROUP>:
    resources:
      <HOSTNAME-ID>:
        attributes:
          host.name: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
          host.type: oob
        connectors: [ +CiscoUCSC885A ] # Optional, to load only this connector
        protocols:
          http:
            https: true
            port: 443 # or probably something else

Connector Activation Criteria

The Cisco UCS C885A connector will be automatically activated, and its status will be reported as OK if all the below criteria are met:

• The HTTP Request below to the managed host succeeds:
  • get /redfish/v1/Systems/system
  • Request Header: ${file::http-header}
  • The response body contains: \(?s\)\(?=.*redfish\)\(?=.*cisco\)\(?=.*UCSC-885A\) (regex)
