The Cisco ACI Integration lets you:

• Track the state and health of your network
• Track the capacity of your ACI
• Monitor the switches and controllers themselves

The Cisco ACI check is packaged with the Agent, so simply install the Agent on a server within your network.

1. Edit the cisco_aci.d/conf.yaml file, in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent's configuration directory. See the sample cisco_aci.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options:

     init_config:
         # This check makes a lot of API calls
         # it could sometimes help to add a minimum collection interval
         # min_collection_interval: 180
     instances:
         - aci_url: localhost # the url of the aci controller
           username: datadog
           pwd: datadog
           timeout: 15
           # if it's an ssl endpoint that doesn't have a certificate, use this to ensure it can still connect
           ssl_verify: True
           tenant:
             - WebApp
             - Database
             - Datadog

2. Restart the Agent to begin sending Cisco ACI metrics to Datadog.

Run the Agent's status subcommand and look for cisco_aci under the Checks section.

See metadata.csv for a list of metrics provided by this integration.

The Cisco ACI check sends tenant faults as events.

cisco_aci.can_connect:

Returns CRITICAL if the Agent cannot connect to the Cisco ACI API to collect metrics, otherwise OK.
