Monitoring Cisco 3850 Switch without using SNMP

Post by pclements »

Normally I would use SMNP but the requirment is no SNMP for this system. How can I monitor CPU load, Memory, interface stats? I am using IOS ver. 03.07.05E. Thank you.

You could use something like expect: http://www.admin-magazine.com/Articles/ ... ct-Scripts

This would simulate logging in to the command line interface and executing commands, then you could capture the output and compare it against a threshold. Definitely not as easy as SNMP, but it's a start.

You're welcome! Did that get you what you needed? If so, are we okay to close the thread?
