So in this next video, I'm going to set up a dashboard for a Cisco Twenty four ports, which, OK,
and I'm going to use the Xbox datasource on my Xbox server.
I've already set this up so that my Xbox data source is already able to query data from this switch.
If I was to go into Xbox, I can see that there is data on every single interface here is in out discards
and airs many things.
And there's twenty four ports on there with data.
There's a villain, one port.
There's a whole lot of data that I can take from this switch in Ghafar to explore or search for Cybex
that shows up now as a network device.
The host is just called Switch and the application is really one of these things.
And I want to know about if it's received.
And then we go I and graph straight away, I'm going to do is create a dashboard showing all the interfaces.
Now, you might go around doing that, the first thing I will take note of, though, is this group,
the host and the application.
So I'm just going to copy that into a notepad.
The switch I don't have to copy because I can just write that.
And the word interface is really the most important bit here, because we'll do a read check on that
and we'll also do a redshifts on that for will come to that.
OK, so now go to Dashboard's manage and we'll create a new dashboard, going to quickly go into the
settings and call it a Cisco switch mix with the Xbox data source.
Very good.
We'll save that.
Now let's just create a variable.
That variable is going to be interface.
It's a query, I don't give it an optional name, the data source will be Zwick's or refresh on time
change and the query is what we just copied.
So normally you do star, dot star.
Now B groups dot host.
So the groups are templates, network devices, dot star.
If we look at the preview, we see nothing yet.
So we need to drill this down a little bit.
So I'm going to use the word switch, which is the name of the host.
OK, preview of where you switch.
And we also want to know a little bit more about the interfaces, so there are many interface names,
I want to show all those interfaces.
So I'm going to use a regex just here now.
So slash interface.
Star slash like so, and down here, I'll get a preview of all the valleys, all the interfaces that
I can query through the Xbox datasource for this switch, and there are a few more even for Valen one,
I'm going to make this a multi value and I'm also going to include the whole option.
Excellent.
Let's add that at that interface.
OK, let's preview that.
And these are all white faces on, what, twenty four ports, which let's create a graph for that Saturday
will choose a visualization is going to be a graph.
Leave everything is default, the query first query is going to be from Xbox Metrix, the grouping network
devices hosts.
Switch.
Application interface, that's this one up here and the item being it's received.
But since this has interface, if I zero one written in it, I'm going to need to convert that to a
rejects.
So.
Spitzer seemed like that very good.
The general, I'm going to call it throughput interface, and it's going to repeat on interface vertical.
Save that and preview that.
OK, so let's have a look at multiple actually, I only have cables in one, two, three.
These ones, OK, so we have some data on those that's improved, that's slightly effected that and
we will duplicate this query and it will be it's.
S..
As a rejects as well.
Very good.
We have to interface in and out.
Save that dashboard.
Let's go back down here.
Let's change the layout slightly.
And that's all and there we go.
And let's look at that for the last 30 minutes, okay, so not many of the interfaces are in use, but
you can see some of them are.
Save that.
So that was just very quickly creating a dashboard for a Cisco switch that has already been configured
inside one Cybex datasource.
