I am looking for advice/help on monitoring Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switches.  The metrics the business is asking to monitor are:

Metric

 

CPU Utilization

 

Memory Utilization

 

Device reload Alert

 

Interface errors (ifInErrors and ifOutErrors) (CRC, FCS)

 

Interface Discards ( ifInDiscards and ifOutDiscards)

 

Interface status

 

Utilization Bandwidth

 

PSU status

 

Fans

 

BGP/OSPF status

 

SNMP availability

 

TCAM Utilization monitoring (working to get MIB/OID from Cisco)

 

MAC Table Exhaustion

There’s likely several different solutions here. 

You could try Cisco Base Pack + IP based discovery to see which OID align and collect, including internal collections. 

If that switch is running with ACI, you could use the ACI PowerPack as well. 

 

Is that device “managed” by any Cisco management product?
