Vendor Pack Bundles

The Core pack is built in. For specific vendors, GridNMS offers downloadable pack bundles you import in a couple of clicks. Each bundle adds vendor-specific data points (CPU, memory, sessions, environment, battery, disks, and more) on top of the standard interface metrics that Core Network already provides — so you don’t lose anything, you gain the vendor extras.

Most bundles are clean-room, built from each vendor’s published SNMP MIBs, and ship those MIB files inside it: on import they load into the MIB Browser and attach to the pack for reference. A few (noted below) are agentless — they run read-only commands over SSH instead, for platforms that don’t expose a useful SNMP agent. One (Cisco Meraki, also noted below) is API-based — it polls the vendor’s cloud dashboard over HTTPS instead of SNMP or SSH, so it ships no MIBs.

  1. Download the .tar.gz for your vendor from the table above.
  2. In GridNMS, go to Configure → Monitoring Packs and choose Upload bundle, then drop the file in.
  3. The pack and its device class are created automatically, and the bundled MIBs load into the MIB Browser. Assign the new class to your devices (or let discovery classify them).

Prefer the command line? Upload the same file directly, using a personal API token from an account with permission to manage monitoring packs:

Terminal window
curl -XPOST --data-binary @cisco-iosxe-pack-bundle.tar.gz \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GNMS_TOKEN" \
-H 'Content-Type: application/gzip' https://app.gridnms.io/api/pack-bundles

Need a device we don’t cover yet? See Building a Monitoring Pack to roll your own, or ask us — new vendor bundles are quick to add from a published MIB.
