Okay, so 1st let's add some data connectors into Cisco IQ. So if you've got Cisco Intersight, if you go over here and click connect, it's gonna go pull up a list of Intersight accounts that are available to me. So I have to have my user associated to these inter site accounts in advance.00:02And then because it knows the Cisco.com profile that I'm logged in with, it's automatically doing that lookup. It's finding all of the accounts that are available at intersight. And then I can simply choose one of these. We'll choose Cisco IQ testing or maybe I'm interested in pulling all these across, I could multi select if I needed to.00:20And then I'm gonna go click connect account, and then a banner will pop up saying that it might take 24 h in order for your data to sync. So the sync routine will run somewhere within 24 h or less, and then that sync might take a little bit of time for the data to come across. So look somewhere between 24 and 48 h and then your device data should start showing up.00:36Now if I need to add a Webex control hub instance, this is a manual edition here. So if I click connect, it tells me that I need to open a support case in order to add the control hub instance. So if I click ok, it's gonna go open a Cisco support case manager, and I would just say, I need.00:56Help adding a Webex control hub data connector to my Cisco IQ account, and then you'd go put my customer name in here, whatever that would be, and then you can CC some people, put your contact information in, click submit.01:14And then our support engineer will get back to you promptly around the completion of adding Webex control Hub in. If you're looking to add catalyst SD WAN manager or formerly known as vmanage, if you click connect, it's gonna follow the same process, the same simple process you did with Intersight.01:31Where it's gonna use the logged in account that we have up here, and it's gonna take a look at what accounts are associated to that. You're gonna be able to multi select the accounts you want to pull over, click submit, and then it'll connect through just like we saw with Intersight. Now with Meraki, we need an API key, so I'm gonna go and click connect. Okay, and just to demonstrate how to get an API key.01:46Use Meraki as an example. I'm logged into the Meraki portal. I'm gonna go to organization, I'm gonna go to APIs and webhooks, go to API keys and access. I'm gonna generate an API key. I'm gonna copy this to a safe place and acknowledge that I've stored my API key.02:06I want to simply take my API key and go paste that in, and then I'm gonna click connect.02:26

See how Cisco IQ enables Data Connectors across Cisco Intersight, Cisco Webex Control Hub, Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, and Cisco Meraki. Watch a concise walk-through: auto-discover eligible accounts via the logged-in Cisco.com profile, multi-select and connect, understand the 24 to 48 hours sync window, open a support case for Control Hub, and generate a Meraki API key to activate ingestion.

  • Enable connectors in a repeatable workflow.
  • Use automatic account discovery and bulk selection.
  • Anticipate sync timing and support steps.
