Update ACI Data in NetBrain through Benchmark Automatically

Since the discovery only retrieves basic data of your ACI network, you need to execute a benchmark task to retrieve all data and build all components after the discovery, including topology, visual spaces and data views. For more Information, see Setup a Benchmark Task.

  1. Click  the menu in the Domain Management page and select Schedule Task.
  2. In the Schedule Discovery/Benchmark tab, click Add Benchmark Task.

  3. In the Time Settings tab, define the task frequency.

  4. In the Batch Definition tab, perform the following tasks:
    1. Go to the Device Scope tab, check the Select external API servers to retrieve data checkbox and select Cisco ACI controllers.

    2. Go to the Buil-in Data tab, and select the Cisco ACI checkbox.

  5. In the Additional Operation After Benchmark tab, select all the checkboxes in the Build Topology and Rebuild Visual Space areas.

  1. Click Submit.
