Network Management

I know that Aruba Central is the official answer to network assurance/monitoring.  It's not there yet.  

I'm curious what other people are using as a monitoring framework for AOSCX? We have API, NAE, SNMP, Screen scraping, IPFIX...I have to strike a balance between what's available and what I can glue together. I won't get funding for a $200,000 monitoring system with professional services.  Something like Zabbix will work for SNMP but then there are metrics we can collect with API.  I'm curious what people are using for monitoring frameworks in lieu of a magic tool to rule them all.  Is anyone doing anything interesting without cobbling together 10 different tools with bubble gum?

Hi,

you can try iMC (Intelligent Management Center), it provides multi-vendor support, alarm management, configuration management, performance management etc. It works with Aruba CX devices (although there are some limitations in SNMP from Aruba CX side, which are bypassed using REST API). There is 60 days trial period of the tool, then you can buy license for it. Can be installed on Linux and Windows servers:

HPE Networking | Enterprise

HPE Networking | Enterprise

IMC has many other features, additional modules can be installed for deeper monitoring like traffic analysis, wireless management and many others.

Thank you,

Best Regards,

Did you check Aruba Github repository? There are many modules there to help you with this. Check CheckMK has some ArubaCX modules available. Also check THIS article how to create your own dashboard.
