- Minimum Required SL1 Version: 8.7.1
Before You Install or Upgrade
Ensure that you are running version 8.7.1 or later of SL1 before installing " Cisco: CSP-2100" PowerPack version 105.
For details on upgrading SL1, see the relevant SL1 Platform Release Notes.
Installing or Upgrading the PowerPack
If you are currently using the Dynamic Applications in this PowerPack to monitor devices, collection errors might occur for one or two polling cycles during the installation of a new version. To prevent collection errors during an upgrade, you can optionally disable collection for monitored devices before performing the following steps and re-enable collection after the upgrade.
To install this PowerPack:
- Search for and download the PowerPack from the PowerPacks page (Product Downloads > PowerPacks & SyncPacks) at the ScienceLogic Support Site.
- In SL1, go to the PowerPacks page (System > Manage > PowerPacks).
- Click the Actions menu and choose Import PowerPack. The Import PowerPack modal appears.
- Click and navigate to the PowerPack file from step 1.
- Select the PowerPack file and click . The PowerPack Installer modal displays a list of the PowerPack contents.
- Click . The PowerPack is added to the PowerPack Manager page.
By default, installing a new version of a PowerPack will overwrite all content in that PowerPack that has already been installed on the target system. You can use the Enable Selective PowerPack Field Protection setting in 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 more information about using the PowerPack, see the Monitoring Windows Systems with PowerShell manual.
Features
This release includes the following features:
- Three example credentials (two SNMP credentials and a Basic/Snippet credential) you can use to create the credentials that enable you to collect data from CSP-2100 devices
- Dynamic Applications to discover and monitor the CSP-2100 component devices
- Device Classes for each type of CSP-2100 component device SL1 monitors
- Event Policies and corresponding alerts that are triggered when CSP-2100 component devices meet certain status criteria
- Run Book Actions and Policies that align the correct device class to CSP-2100 component devices based on GUID and that merge CSP-2100 component devices with the appropriate physical components
- Device dashboards for each type of discovered CSP-2100 component device
Enhancements and Issues Addressed
The following enhancements and addressed issues are included this release of the " Cisco: CSP-2100":
- A new example SSH/Key Credential was added to the PowerPack.
- The PowerPack's Device Class tiers were updated as follows:
| Device Class | Description | Discovery Identifier | Device Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cisco Systems | CSP Node | -- | 5 |
| Cisco Systems | CSP Service | -- | 2 |
| Cisco Systems | CSP2100 | 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.12.3.1.3.1831 | 5 |
| Cisco Systems | CSP2100 | 1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.3.2.10 | 5 |
| Cisco Systems | CSP2100 Cluster | 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.12.3.1.3.1291 | 5 |
- To ensure that all CSP devices in a cluster are monitored on the same Data Collector, the "Cisco: CSP 2100 Cluster Resource Stats" Dynamic Application was updated to produce cache and the "Cisco: CSP 2100 Node Component to Physical Merge" and "Cisco: CSP 2100 Services Config" Dynamic Applications were updated to consume that cache.
- An issue was addressed that was preventing deleted CSP-2100 cluster devices from being re-discovered without first clearing the cache on the collector database for each node in the cluster.
- An issue was addressed that was preventing CSP-2100 cluster devices from being created and Dynamic Applications from being auto-aligned on Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS)-compliant systems.
