The UCS Bladecenter special agent failed to monitor Cisco Business Edition (BE-prefix) rack servers such as the C220M5. Two issues caused this:

  • The hardware model detection regex did not include the BE prefix used by Cisco Business Edition rack servers (e.g. BE6H-M5-K9). These devices were not recognized as C-series hardware, so the agent queried SNMP entity classes that only exist on B-series (blade chassis) hardware, resulting in missing services.
  • When an unsupported SNMP class such as equipmentFanModuleStats was queried on rack hardware, the agent crashed in debug mode instead of skipping the unavailable class.

Both issues are resolved. The model regex now correctly identifies BE-prefix models as C-series hardware, and missing SNMP classes are skipped gracefully even in debug mode.
