What are the standard Out-Of-the-Box Monitored Metrics in Cruz

There a many monitors available in Cruz. This article describes the standard / enabled monitored metrics in Cruz.

When monitoring is included in the Cruz Software, there are 3 primary monitors enabled. 

1. ICMP /  ping -  This monitor will provide ping status (UP/Down) for discovered equipment. All/Any discovered equipment with a IP address are monitored with ICMP.

2. Key Metrics - This monitor provide device level Metrics and includes:

• Health Status
• Power State
• CPU Utilization
• Available Memory
• Memory Used
• Memory Utilization
• Temperature

NOTE:  Key Metric data is collected via 1 or more methods which may include SNMP, CLI , API. As a result devices may only include some Key Metric data.  Devices supported with a  Cruz Device Driver  will typically have support for these metrics. The added support may include customized development to obtain the data via CLI or API or by using device / vendor specific SNMP enterprise mibs.  When there is no Specific Device driver, the Cruz Generic SNMP driver may still collect and represent this data as long as standard MIBS for these devices provided the data. 

 3. Default Interface Monitor - This monitor will poll device interfaces and collect performance data. Similar to Key Metrics, standard MIBS are used to collect this data. Some device vendor firmware will implement their own enterprise MIBS in order to accurately to provide this data.  In these cases, devices with a Cruz device driver will support these metric.  When there is no Cruz device driver , the Cruz Generic SNMP driver may still collect and represent this data as long as standard MIBS for these devices provided the data. 

The metrics are:
