Cisco Prime Overview
The 'Cisco Prime Overview' dashboard provides a comprehensive view of the health and status of Cisco Prime infrastructure components. It includes key metrics and visualizations such as the health status of all Cisco Prime devices and access points, enabling quick assessment of system performance. An alert list consolidates active alerts. Additionally, an advanced object relationship visualization highlights the dependencies and associations of selected objects or alerts.
Collected objects
Relationships
In the 'Cisco Prime Addon', the relationships between objects are important for structuring and managing network monitoring data within VMware Aria Operations. These relationships illustrate how Cisco Prime components are interconnected, providing a complete and organized view of the infrastructure's health, performance, and dependencies.
The relationship diagram defines a hierarchy that begins with the 'Cisco Prime Infrastructure Adapter Instance', the core element responsible for establishing integration with the Cisco Prime Infrastructure system. The structure is organized as follows:
- The 'Cisco Prime Infrastructure Adapter Instance' connects to the 'Cisco Prime Infrastructure Device', representing network devices monitored within Cisco Prime Infrastructure.
- Additionally, the 'Cisco Prime Infrastructure Adapter Instance' links to the 'Cisco Prime Infrastructure Access Point', highlighting the individual access points managed by the system.
This structure demonstrates how the adapter acts as the central hub for data collection and integration.

Alerts
The 'Cisco Prime Addon' includes a set of pre-defined alerts designed to identify and report critical issues in network devices and access points. These alerts cover scenarios such as device reachability, high resource utilization, and operational status problems.
Cisco Prime One or more ports experience operation status problem
- Cisco Prime Port Status Problem: If any port's operational status is not "up" (e.g., down or error), trigger Critical.
Cisco Prime Device is unreachable
- Cisco Prime Device Unreachable: If device reachability status is not "REACHABLE", trigger Critical.
Cisco Prime Device resources utilization at high level
- Cisco Prime Memory Utilization High 80%: If memory utilization ≥ 80%, trigger Critical.
- Cisco Prime Memory Utilization High 70%: If memory utilization ≥ 70%, trigger Warning.
- Cisco Prime CPU Utilization High 80%: If CPU utilization ≥ 80%, trigger Critical.
- Cisco Prime CPU Utilization High 70%: If CPU utilization ≥ 70%, trigger Warning.
Cisco Prime Access Point Unreachable
- Cisco Prime Access Point Unreachable: If access point reachability status is not "REACHABLE", trigger Critical.
