SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires yaml, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Cisco Intersight provides UCS metrics that are valuable for observability, but collecting and presenting them in Splunk Observability Cloud requires a structured, end-to-end workflow. This skill renders an isolated Intersight OTel deployment namespace, a secret stub for credentials, deployment manifests, OTLP config, handoff scripts, dashboards, and detectors, enabling secure, repeatable rollouts and quick validation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Render an isolated intersight-otel namespace, a credentials Secret stub, and the deployment artifacts that wire Intersight to Splunk Observability Cloud.
  • Produce dashboards and detectors along with handoff scripts to hand metrics off to the Splunk OTel agent for observability.
  • Validate and render for dry-run, render, preflight, and apply workflows, with safeguards that secret material is not embedded in manifests.

Quick Start

Render the manifests using the render workflow and review the generated output with the provided scripts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I send Cisco Intersight UCS metrics to Splunk Observability Cloud?

To send Cisco Intersight UCS metrics to Splunk Observability Cloud, you can render an isolated OTel deployment namespace, a credentials Secret stub, and OTLP pipeline manifests using this Skill. It generates the necessary ConfigMaps and deployments to wire Intersight metrics directly into your observability platform.

What is included when rendering Intersight metrics into Splunk O11y?

Rendering Intersight metrics into Splunk O11y produces an isolated intersight-otel namespace, a credentials Secret stub, deployment manifests, an OTLP ConfigMap pipeline overlay, dashboards, detectors, and handoff scripts. These artifacts enable secure and repeatable metric collection rollouts.

How do I validate and apply Splunk Observability manifests for Intersight safely?

You validate and apply Splunk Observability manifests safely by using the provided scripts to run render, validate, preflight, and dry-run workflows before applying. The Skill enforces safety checks to ensure secret material is not embedded directly in the manifests during this process.

Does this Intersight OTel integration embed API keys directly in the Kubernetes manifests?

No, the Intersight OTel integration does not embed API keys directly in the Kubernetes manifests. It enforces strict secret handling by generating a credentials Secret stub, ensuring sensitive material remains isolated and secure throughout the render and apply workflows.

Can I generate Splunk O11y dashboards and detectors for Cisco Intersight metrics?

Yes, you can generate Splunk O11y dashboards and detectors for Cisco Intersight metrics. The Skill renders these observability components alongside handoff scripts, allowing you to visualize UCS metrics and set up automated alerts within Splunk Observability Cloud.
