Cisco Catalyst Center
Last updated on 11 November, 2024LogicMonitor’s Cisco Catalyst Center package leverages the Cisco Catalyst Center Intent API (formerly Cisco DNA Center) to discover and monitor Cisco Wireless Access Points, Wireless LAN Controllers (“WLC”), Switches, and Routers. This monitoring package is designed to monitor and alert on vital health and performance metrics while sending Catalyst Center Issues to LM Logs where LogicMonitor associates each issue with the related LogicMonitor resource.
For more information about the Cisco Catalyst Intent API, see Introduction to Cisco DNA Center REST APIs from Cisco.
Note: These modules discover and monitor Cisco Catalyst Center devices as discrete LogicMonitor Resources and are not in-place upgrades to Cisco DNA Center (Legacy) modules.
Requirements
- Collector version 32.400 or later
- Cisco Catalyst Center username and password with read-only access set on the resource
- Sufficiently sized LogicMonitor Collector(s) that can communicate with Cisco Catalyst Center
- Devices that are managed by Cisco Catalyst Center
Add Resources into Monitoring
Two methods are available for on-boarding Cisco Catalyst Center-managed Wireless Access Points and Wireless Controller resources into monitoring. The Advanced NetScan is the preferred method for on-boarding but resources can be manually added into monitoring as well. For more information on NetScans, see What is a NetScan.
- (Recommended) Advanced NetScan
For more information on NetScans, see What is a NetScan. - Manually Add Resources
Using Advanced NetScan to add Resources
Resources can be automatically added using an Enhanced NetScan Script. For more information, see Enhanced Script Netscan.
- In your LogicMonitor Portal > Modules > Exchange, install the Cisco Catalyst Center modules. For a list of modules, see LogicModules in Package.
- Navigate to Resources > Add > Several Devices > Advanced NetScan. The Add Advanced NetScan page is displayed.
- Enter a name that you want to associate with this NetScan. For example, “Cisco Catalyst Center Devices”.
- Select the Collector to execute the NetScan. For more information, see Collector Assignment in Enhanced Script Netscan.
- Select Enhanced Script NetScan from the Method drop-down list.
- From the Enhanced Script section, select Device Credentials > Use custom credentials for this scan.
- Add the following properties that provide the NetScan with the required Cisco Catalyst Center DNA API credentials and change how and where the NetScan creates and organizes resources:
Property | Value | Required |
cisco.catalyst.center.user | REST API username. | Yes |
cisco.catalyst.center.pass | REST API password. | Yes |
cisco.catalyst.center.host | Cisco Catalyst Center device IP or FQDN. | Yes |
lmaccess.id or logicmonitor.access.id | A LogicMonitor API access id to search for duplicate resources in the NetScan prior to adding them to the portal. For more information on portal monitoring, see LogicMonitor Portal Monitoring. | Yes Not required if skip.device.dedupe is set. |
lmaccess.key or logicmonitor.access.key | A LogicMonitor API key to search for duplicate resources in the NetScan prior to adding them to the portal. For more information on portal monitoring, see LogicMonitor Portal Monitoring. | Yes Not required if skip.device.dedupe is set. |
cisco.catalyst.center.folder | The name of the LogicMonitor Resource Group that this NetScan creates or uses if already existing. The value can be a nested child folder (for example, folder/folder/folder). This defaults to “Cisco Catalyst Center”. This should not be assigned to a dynamic device group as those are not added by NetScans. For more information, see Device Groups Overview. | No |
cisco.catalyst.center.name | The name of the LogicMonitor Resource Group that this NetScan creates or uses if already existing. This defaults to “Cisco Catalyst Center”. | No |
hostname.source | Allows for selection of the source of the hostname that is used by the NetScan. This is useful in preventing duplicate device creation when conflicts are found for existing resources. | No |
skip.device.dedupe | Allows you to skip device deduplication checks, making LogicMonitor API credentials not required. | No |
cisco.catalyst.center.collector.sites.csv | Path of a CSV file that contains: Site Name, Collector ID, and Site Folder Name. CSV file needs to be located under the following path: /usr/local/logicmonitor/agent/bin directory (Linux) or C:\Program Files\LogicMonitor\Agent\bin directory (Windows) | No |
cisco.catalyst.service.url | URL used to make API calls. Default to “/dna/intent/api/v1” | No |
cisco.catalyst.center.sites | Comma-seperated list of Cisco Catalyst Center site IDs to consider. | No |
cisco.catalyst.center.devicefamilies | Family of Cisco Catalyst Center Wireless devices to consider. Default to UNIFIED_AP, WIRELESS_CONTROLLER, SWITCHES_AND_HUBS, and ROUTER. | No |
cisco.catalyst.ignore.proxy | If a proxy has been setup for LogicMonitor but not on the Catalyst Center this property can be used to bypass using a proxy when reaching out to the Catalyst Center. | No |
- Select Embed a Groovy script and embed the following script:
Warning: Do not edit the script. Edited Enhanced Script NetScans are not supported. If the LogicMonitor-provided script is edited, LogicMonitor Support can require you to overwrite your edits with the supported script if problems arise.

- In the Schedule section, select Run this NetScan on a schedule. For dynamic environments, you can schedule the NetScan to run as frequently as hourly.
- Select Save or Save & Run.
After running the NetScan, review the history for the number of resources added, or for error messages if the NetScan does not create any resources.
Manually Adding Resources
- Create a Cisco Catalyst Center device group. For more information, see Adding Device Groups.
- Add the devices to the Cisco Catalyst Center Organization group.
- Add or verify that the following properties are set on the resources or under the Cisco Catalyst Center Resource Group. For more information on setting properties, see Resource and Instance Properties.
Property | Value |
system.categories | CiscoCatalystAccessPoint, CiscoCatalystWLC, CiscoCatalystSwitch, or CiscoCatalystRouter. |
cisco.catalyst.center.user | REST API username. |
cisco.catalyst.center.pass | REST API password. |
cisco.catalyst.center.host | The Cisco Catalyst Center IP or FQDN |
cisco.catalyst.ignore.proxy | If a proxy has been setup for LogicMonitor but not on the Catalyst Center this property can be used to bypass using a proxy when reaching out to the Catalyst Center. |
Importing LogicModules
From the LogicMonitor public repository, import all Cisco Catalyst Center LogicModules.
If these LogicModules are already present, ensure you have the most recent versions.
After the LogicModules are imported, data collection automatically commences. For more information on importing modules, see LM Exchange.
Troubleshooting
This package relies on collector script cache to continuously retrieve and store data from the Cisco Catalyst Center API module to minimize rate limiting constraints. For more information, see Collector Script Caching. If data gaps occur verify Cisco_Catalyst_Center_API is running successfully and check script cache health in the LogicMonitor_Collector_ScriptCache DataSource.
NetScan Troubleshooting
The NetScan for this suite can update existing devices in the portal to add relevant information retrieved from the Cisco API. It is also possible for the NetScan to create duplicate devices in the portal when a conflict exists where the display name is the same, but the value for system.hostname is different. To ensure devices are updated properly and duplicate devices are not created, this NetScan uses LogicMonitor’s API to query existing devices and report name conflicts discovered. This file can be accessed in the collector logs. For more information on retrieving collector logs, see Collector logging – Sending logs to LogicMonitor.
The devices in this report are not reported to LogicMonitor as part of the NetScan output unless the NetScan has been configured with the property hostname.source
. This property allows a user to resolve the name conflicts discovered by selecting the source of the hostname that is used in the NetScan output. Two possible hostname sources are determined by the following values:
- “lm” or “logicmonitor” Devices with name conflicts use the existing system.hostname in LogicMonitor to ensure a device in the portal is updated using the NetScan. This setting does not create a new device.
- “netscan” Devices with name conflicts maintain system.hostname determined in the NetScan script and update the display name reported to append
- <system.hostname>
to ensure it is unique and can be added to the portal. This option is beneficial if you do not have strict naming conventions and have multiple devices with the same display name.
Note: NetScans are not able to update the value of system.hostname. NetScans can update display name, custom properties, and group assignments.
