Multicast monitoring without using SNMP - Cisco Nexus 7000

Hi,

I'm submitting a feature request to monitor multicast by pulling the command line output from a Cisco Nexus 7000 and formatting into a graph. Right now the Cisco Nexus 7000 does not have the correct built-in OIDs for multicast. I've contacted Cisco and they do not have a way to load OIDs onto the switch. I would like an alternative way to monitor multicast traffic without using multicast SNMP OIDs. Pulling the multicast routing table would be a great feature. What I would like to see for multicast traffic is: multicast routing table, PIM joins, IGMP joins, and the amount of traffic per a multicast group. Another thing I would like to see added to NPM is monitoring all the multicast traffic I mentioned for specific VRFs on the Cisco Nexus 7000.

Thanks.
