This page lists the metrics collected by the Cisco ACI integration and describes the default monitoring configuration applied when the integration is installed.You can use this information to understand what is monitored out-of-the-box and how to customize thresholds, templates, and alert behaviour for your environment.
Supported Metrics
The metrics collected by the Cisco ACI integration are grouped into logical categories based on the monitored component type. Each category is represented as a tabbed table that displays the native type, metric names, display labels, units, supported versions, and descriptions.

Default Monitoring Configurations
Cisco ACI provides default monitoring components that include:
- Global Device Management Policies
- Global Templates
- Global Monitors
These configurations are applied automatically upon installation. Customize them for your environment by cloning the global versions and modifying thresholds or alerting behaviour.
It is recommended to apply this customization prior to installing the application to prevent unnecessary alerts and reduce noise.
Default Global Device Management Policies
Find the Device Management Policy for each Native Type at Setup > Resources > Device Management Policies.
Search using the suggested name in global scope.
{appName nativeType - version}
Ex : cisco-aci Cisco ACI Tenant - 1(i.e, appName = cisco-aci, nativeType = Cisco ACI Tenant, version = 1)
Default Global Templates
Templates are available at Setup > Monitoring > Templates.
Search using the suggested name in global scope.
{appName nativeType 'Template' - version}
Ex : cisco-aci Cisco ACI Tenant Template - 1(i.e, appName = cisco-aci, nativeType = Cisco ACI Tenant, version = 1)
Default Global Monitors
Monitors can be found at Setup > Monitoring > Monitors.
Search using the suggested name in global scope.
{monitorKey appName nativeType version}
Ex : Cisco ACI Tenant Monitor cisco-aci Cisco ACI Tenant 1 (i.e, monitorKey = Cisco ACI Tenant Monitor, appName = cisco-aci nativeType = Cisco ACI Tenant, version = 1)
