Metric table
The metric table can include some or all of the following: target version, default collection frequency, default warning threshold, default critical threshold, and alert text.
The Cisco Switch plug-in enables Enterprise Manager Cloud Control to monitor Cisco Switch targets. This plug-in is used to monitor the Cisco switch's CPU, memory, temperature, network interfaces, system information, fan, and power supply metrics. Each Cisco switch will have a plug-in instance added to its agent.
