Issue/Introduction
We installed the SystemEDGE agent on a Windows server at the customer's environment and added the CiscoUCS plugin. The agent is connected to Cisco UCS Manager and appears to be functioning correctly.
However, when I try to run a walktree on the CiscoUCS MIB – 1.3.6.1.4.1.546.16.58.3 – I receive an empty output.
(walktree.exe -p 161 -v 3 -u sysedge -s AuthPriv -A SHA -a xxx-X AES -x xxx -o 1.3.6.1.4.1.546.16.58.3 > walktree.txt)

When I added the SystemEDGE agent to DX Spectrum, I also do not see any data.
Environment
DX NetOps Spectrum 24.3.10 and SystemEDGE 6.5.0 (upgraded from 6.4.0)
Cause
We currently provide support for UCS system components, such as chassis, fabric interconnects, blades only, We are not parsing the rack-mounts. However, based on the debug SystemEDGE log output from the customer's environment, it appears that no chassis is present. As a result, SystemEDGE is unable to proceed with further information exploration.
Resolution
SystemEDGE 6.x is an updated version of 5.9. We have mitigated the vulnerabilities present in 5.9 and have neither removed nor added new features in 6.x
The Rack-Mount Servers were not supported 5.9, hence it is not supported in 6.x.
Additional Information
The Spectrum documentation for Cisco UCS monitoring states and lists the supported UCS components/inventory which can be referred using the link below:

Last Updated October 13, 2025
Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) comprises a set of specialized devices working together, including the blades of the chassis and server. UCS supports the data center by delivering a dynamic IT infrastructure and by unifying network, computing, and virtualization resources.
DX NetOps Spectrum provides visibility into the following key components of Cisco UCS:
- UCS Manager
A web services agent running on a Fabric Interconnect switch. The Cisco UCS manager supports an XML-based API for client interaction. - Fabric Interconnect (FI) Switch
- Typically two per UCS system; Cisco recommends a redundant configuration
- Runs NX-OS
- Hosts the UCS manager
- Chassis
An agentless, switchless, blade server enclosure, with a maximum configuration of 40 chassis per UCS manager. Each chassis supports 8 half-width or 4 full-width server blades. - Blades
A server platform that serves as a virtualization host. - Service Profiles
Logical views of blade servers. Stored in the FI switch, they contain the blade server personality (identity and network information).
Since rack-mounts are not part of the above list, indicates that the monitoring for it is not supported.
