Introduction

This section describes how to monitor Cisco Intersight devices in Skylar One using the Dynamic Applications in the "Cisco: Intersight" PowerPack.

What is Cisco Intersight?

Cisco Intersight is a cloud operations platform allowing for advanced infrastructure, workload optimization, and Kubernetes services. Cisco Intersight infrastructure services include the deployment, monitoring, management, and support of physical and virtual infrastructure.

What Does the Cisco: Intersight PowerPack Monitor?

To monitor Cisco Intersight using Skylar One, you must install the "Cisco: Intersight" PowerPack. This PowerPack enables you to discover, model, and collect data about Cisco Intersight devices.

The "Cisco: Intersight" PowerPack includes:

• Dynamic Applications that enable Skylar One to discover, model, and monitor Cisco Intersight devices

• Event Policies that are triggered when Cisco Intersight devices meet certain status criteria
• Device Classes for each type of Cisco Intersight device monitored
• A universal credential type and a guided discovery workflow to discover Cisco Intersight devices

Installing the Cisco: Intersight PowerPack

Before completing the steps in this section, you must import and install the latest version of the "Cisco: Intersight" PowerPack.

By default, when you install a new version of a PowerPack, it overwrites all content from that PowerPack that is already installed on the target system. You can use the Enable Selective PowerPack Field Protection setting on the Behavior Settings page (System > Settings > Behavior) to prevent the new version of the PowerPack from overwriting local changes for some commonly customized fields.

For details on upgrading Skylar One, see the relevant Skylar One Platform Release Notes.

To download and install the PowerPack:

1. Search for and download the PowerPack from the PowerPacks page at the ScienceLogic Support Center (Skylar One > PowerPacks, login required).
2. In Skylar One, go to the PowerPacks page (System > Manage > PowerPacks).
3. Click the Actions menu and select Import PowerPack. The Import PowerPack modal appears.
4. Click Browse and go to the PowerPack file from step 1.
5. Select the PowerPack file and click Import. The PowerPack Installer modal displays a list of the PowerPack contents.
6. Click Install. The PowerPack appears on the PowerPacks page.

If you exit the PowerPack Installer modal without installing the imported PowerPack, the imported PowerPack does not appear on the PowerPacks page. However, the imported PowerPack appears in the Imported PowerPacks modal. This modal appears when you click the Actions menu and select Install PowerPack.
