Cisco UCS Discovery

Hello,

I am trying to understand the process to discovery cisco UCS FI, Chassis and Blades without using the Service Graph Connector for Intersight. I understand I need SNMP and applicative credentials, what I don't understand and cannot find so far is what are the applicative credentials for, and what permissions do they need? I found some references to UCS Manager in KB posts, but this client no longer uses UCS Manager either.

 

Are the applicative credentials targeting the Fabric Interconnects? I found multiple posts here, but haven't found a recent post, or a solution so far.

 

I have valid SNMP creds and I can get valid applicative creds if only I knew what those creds were for and what they need to target for discovery.

 

Here is the relevant document:

Thanks!

Hi @mk2860 ,

 

Why do you exclude the Service Graph Connector for Cisco Intersight?

Out of the box the Intersight Service Graph Connector does not support connecting to multiple intersight environments. I was considering trying to modify/duplicate portions of it to do so, but since ServiceNow also supports UCS equipment discovery natively I thought I would try that as well. 

 

Unfortunately I've made no progress on this. I have the SNMP credentials part, but without the applicative credentials the SNMP creds don't return much information, not enough to classify anything at least.
