Networkwide Inventory

With the NetQ UI and CLI, a user can monitor the inventory on a networkwide basis for all switches, hosts, and DPUs. Inventory includes such items as the number of each device and its operating system. Additional details are available about the hardware and software components on individual switches, such as the motherboard, ASIC, microprocessor, disk, memory, fan and power supply information. The commands and cards available to obtain this type of information help you to answer questions such as:

  • Which switches are being monitored in the network?
  • What is the distribution of ASICs, CPUs, agents, and so forth across my network?
  • Are NetQ Agents running on all of my switches?
  • What hardware is installed on my switches?
  • What software is installed on my switches?

To monitor the inventory of a given switch or DPU, refer to Switch Inventory or DPU Inventory.

Access Networkwide Inventory Data

The Inventory/Devices card displays networkwide inventory information for all switches, hosts, and DPUs.

The NetQ CLI displays detailed network inventory information with netq show inventory.

View Networkwide Hardware Inventory

You can view hardware components deployed on all switches and hosts, or on all switches in your network.

View Components Summary

It can be useful to know the quantity and ratio of many components deployed in your network to determine the scope of upgrade tasks, balance vendor reliance, or for detailed troubleshooting.

  1. Locate the Inventory/Devices card on your workbench.

  2. Hover over the card, and change to the large size card using the size picker.

    By default, the Switches tab shows the total number of switches, ASIC vendors, OS versions, NetQ Agent versions, and specific platforms deployed across all your switches.

    You can hover over any of the segments in a component distribution chart to highlight a specific type of the given component. When you hover, a tooltip appears displaying:

    • Name or value of the component type, such as the version number or status
    • Total number of switches with that type of component deployed compared to the total number of switches
    • Percentage of this type as compared to all component types

To view switch components, run:

netq show inventory brief [json]

This example shows the operating systems (Cumulus Linux and Ubuntu), CPU architecture (all x86_64), ASIC (virtual), and ports (N/A because Cumulus VX is virtual) for each device in the network.

View Only Temperature Sensors

To view information from all temperature sensors or temperature sensors with a given name on your switches and host servers, run:

netq show sensors temp [<temp-name>] [around <text-time>] [json]

Use tab completion to determine the names of the temperature sensors on your devices:

cumulus@switch:~$ netq show sensors temp <press tab>
    around     :  Go back in time to around ...
    json       :  Provide output in JSON
    psu1temp1  :  Temp Name
    psu2temp1  :  Temp Name
    temp1      :  Temp Name
    temp2      :  Temp Name
    temp3      :  Temp Name
    temp4      :  Temp Name
    temp5      :  Temp Name
    <ENTER>

This example shows the state of all temperature sensors with the name psu2temp1.

You can determine whether any of your switches are using a software package other than the default package associated with the Cumulus Linux release that is running on the switches. Use this list to determine which packages to install/upgrade on all devices. Additionally, you can determine if a software package is missing.

To view recommended package information for your switches, run:

netq show recommended-pkg-version [release-id <text-release-id>] [package-name <text-package-name>] [json]

The output can be rather lengthy if you run this command for all releases and packages. If desired, run the command using the release-id and/or package-name options to shorten the output.

This example looks for switches running Cumulus Linux 3.7.1 and switchd. The result is a single switch, leaf12, that has older software and should get an update.

View ACL Resources

Using the NetQ CLI, you can monitor the incoming and outgoing access control lists (ACLs) configured on all switches, currently or at a time in the past.

To view ACL resources for all your switches, run:

netq show cl-resource acl [ingress | egress] [around <text-time>] [json]

Use the egress or ingress options to show only the outgoing or incoming ACLs.

This example shows the ACL resources for all configured switches:

cumulus@switch:~$ netq show cl-resource acl

View NetQ Agents

To view the NetQ Agents on all switches and hosts:

  1. Click Menu.

  2. Select Agents from the Network column.

  3. View the Version column to determine which release of the NetQ Agent is running on your devices. Ideally, this version should be the same as the NetQ release you are running, and is the same across all your devices.

ParameterDescription
HostnameName of the switch or host
TimestampDate and time the data was captured
Last ReinitDate and time that the switch or host was reinitialized
Last Update TimeDate and time that the switch or host was updated
LastbootDate and time that the switch or host was last booted up
NTP StateStatus of NTP synchronization on the switch or host; yes = in synchronization, no = out of synchronization
Sys UptimeAmount of time the switch or host has been continuously up and running
VersionNetQ version running on the switch or host

To view the NetQ Agents on all switches and hosts, run:

netq show agents [fresh | rotten ] [around <text-time>] [json]

Use the fresh keyword to view only the NetQ Agents that are in current communication with the NetQ Platform or NetQ Collector. Use the rotten keyword to view those that are not.
