This question came in today and Vishnu Nath, Program Manager at Microsoft, gave a very concise answer. This made for an excellent blog post!
“In Operations Manager 2012 we support monitoring of network devices that support SNMP. Port monitoring is available for devices that have implemented the interface MIB (RFC 2863) and MIB-II (RFC 1213) standards. In addition, we support peripheral monitoring including Processor and Memory monitoring on a subset of devices, the exact devices with peripheral monitoring can be seen in our Network Devices with Extended Monitoring Capability document.”
Note: The list of extended monitoring devices is subject to change before OM12 RTM. The referenced document may be updated later, so check back if your device isn’t currently in the list.
These are the devices listed in the document as of 08-11-2011.
Thanks Jonathan,
Any idea if the Nexus products will be supported when RTM rolls out?
Thanks,
Tom
Tom, the document hasn't been updated since this posting. Check the URL closer to RTM date to find out whether your device will be supported. www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx
We are now at RTM but the Nexus 5000 and 7000 are not in the supported list. Jalasoft is now selling a 3rd party mgt pack for it. Great.
