Add Custom FlexViews and MIBs

Use the instructions in this topic to add custom FlexViews and MIBs in ExtremeCloud IQ – Site Engine.

To add a new FlexView to ExtremeCloud IQ – Site Engine:

  1. Create the following directory on the ExtremeCloud IQ – Site Engine server: /usr/local/Extreme_Networks/NetSight/appdata/VendorProfiles/Stage/MyVendorProfile/FlexViews/My FlexViews if it does not already exist.
  2. Add your custom FlexView files (.TPL) to the /usr/local/Extreme_Networks/NetSight/appdata/VendorProfiles/Stage/MyVendorProfile/FlexViews/My FlexViews directory on the ExtremeCloud IQ – Site Engine server.
  3. Add the MIB files that correspond to your custom FlexView files to the /usr/local/Extreme_Networks/NetSight/appdata/VendorProfiles/Stage/MyVendorProfile/MIBs directory on the ExtremeCloud IQ – Site Engine server.
  4. Log into the system shell (via the local console or SSH) on the ExtremeCloud IQ – Site Engine server as root.
  5. Restart the ExtremeCloud IQ – Site Engine server:
    1. Enter service nsserver stop.
    2. Enter service nsserver start.

For example, download a .TPL file (FlexView) from Extreme Github that can be used to show Port Status. Useful to determine port usage on overcrowded switches and free up ports.
