Creating a VeloCloud CI from Discovery

[RRolling]

Hello Community,

I've been struggling for a while and headed down many paths but still need help with creating a CI of a VeloCloud device that is being discovered by IP with SNMP.

When running Discovery, the IP will respond with the DNS name but is unable to configure a CI. Below is the payload which doesn't include a sysObjectID oid. 

<results probe_time="18099" result_code="0">
<result source="XX.XX.XX.XX">
<snmp host="XX.XX.XX.XX" ip="XX.XX.XX.XX" timed_out="false">
<iso oid="1">
<org oid="1.3">
<dod oid="1.3.6">
<internet oid="1.3.6.1">
<mgmt oid="1.3.6.1.2">
<mib-2 oid="1.3.6.1.2.1">
<system oid="1.3.6.1.2.1.1">
<sysName oid="1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5" type="SnmpOctetString">Kansas_City_MO</sysName>
<sysDescr oid="1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1" type="SnmpOctetString">VeloCloud EDGE5X0</sysDescr>
</system>

I've played around with making a Discovery Pattern that fails, I added MID server MIB files, SNMP OID Classifications, and a SNMP Classification which has a classification criteria for sysDescr contains VeloCloud.

I'll be happy to share/post any other information if anyone help me step back and start over so I can create a CI for these devices.

Thanks

Hi @RRolling   I would highly recommend to watch the below YouTube video created by @doug_schulze   , it will help you a lot.

I've created a pattern with the help of this video but never created a CI successfully with it. I'm guessing the issue is because the payload doesn't have sysObjectID oid? I have no luck if the device doesn't have that oid.

What should be done if the payload doesn't have sysObjectID?

@RRolling  I think you and I are having similar issues.  I'm trying to create a pattern to discover our VeloCloud devices as well, however when I go into debug mode, I am getting an error "Host detection failed for IP....".  When I reference the discovery log, I see the "Active, couldn't classify, now finished" message.  I also noticed the payload does not have a sysObjectID.  Right now, I'm wondering if I have the right MIBs.

I still dont have my pattern creating CIs but my IPs are being populated. Are you using the SNMP library on your first step?
