cisco-ucs-ta-setup

cisco-ucs-ta-setup is a skill for Codex from chambear2809/splunk-cisco-skills. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,127 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A setup guide for collecting Cisco UCS Manager data in Splunk. UCS Manager controls Cisco server and Fabric Interconnect domains.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install the Splunk add-on, configure UCS domains and collection templates, schedule tasks, and verify that Cisco UCS events are arriving.
Why use it?
It helps configure polling tasks consistently and catches missing events or failed tasks without changing the UCS infrastructure itself.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash skills/shared/scripts/write_secret_file.sh /tmp/ucs_password.

Good fit Use it to install the Splunk add-on, configure UCS domains and collection templates, schedule tasks, and verify that Cisco UCS events are arriving.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cisco-ucs-ta-setup scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/configure_server.sh, scripts/configure_task.sh, scripts/setup.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

│ Preflight │ → │ Install TA │ → │ Configure tasks│ → │ Validate data │

When to Activate

  • Onboard a Cisco UCS Manager or Fabric Interconnect domain.
  • Configure server records, default/custom templates, or cisco_ucs_task inputs.
  • Diagnose missing cisco:ucs events or task failures.

Scope

This skill configures the Splunk add-on and task schedule. It does not change UCS infrastructure, request passwords in chat, or enable overlapping tasks without considering API and ingestion load.

Examples

Install the Cisco UCS add-on through the reviewed package path:

bash skills/cisco-ucs-ta-setup/scripts/setup.sh --install

Expected output: the package is installed or a topology-specific manual handoff is emitted without configuring a UCS password inline.

Run strict completion checks after configuring a task:

bash skills/cisco-ucs-ta-setup/scripts/validate.sh --completion

Expected output: package, server, task, index, cisco:ucs event, and dashboard handoff checks report [PASS] or exit nonzero.

Troubleshooting

Issue Cause Resolution
UCS login fails Host, username, or protected password is wrong Verify the account outside chat and retry
Task has no events Template/domain access is incomplete Review template and logs
API load is high Tasks overlap or poll too frequently Reduce task scope or increase intervals
No TA dashboards TA supplies collection/parsing Validate consuming content

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
