Here's a pretty good link to clarify what mibs you can use per product http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/netmgmt/cmtk/mibs.shtml
Cisco Press' Performance & Fault Management reccomends the following for monitoring CPU utilization: Name: avgBusy5 Type: OBJECT-TYPE OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.58 Full path: iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).private(4).enterprises(1).cisco(9).local(2) .lsystem(1).avgBusy5(58) Module: OLD-CISCO-CPU-MIB Parent: lsystem Prev sibling: avgBusy1 Next sibling: idleCount Numerical syntax: Integer (32 bit) Base syntax: INTEGER Composed syntax: INTEGER Status: mandatory Max access: read-only Description: 5 minute exponentially-decayed moving average of the CPU busy percentage. and Name: avgBusy1 Type: OBJECT-TYPE OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.57 Full path: iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).private(4).enterprises(1).cisco(9).local(2) .lsystem(1).avgBusy1(57) Module: OLD-CISCO-CPU-MIB Parent: lsystem Prev sibling: busyPer Next sibling: avgBusy5 Numerical syntax: Integer (32 bit) Base syntax: INTEGER Composed syntax: INTEGER Status: mandatory Max access: read-only Description: 1 minute exponentially-decayed moving average of the CPU busy percentage. and Name: busyPer Type: OBJECT-TYPE OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.56 Full path: iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).private(4).enterprises(1).cisco(9).local(2) .lsystem(1).busyPer(56) Module: OLD-CISCO-CPU-MIB Parent: lsystem Prev sibling: authAddr Next sibling: avgBusy1 Numerical syntax: Integer (32 bit) Base syntax: INTEGER Composed syntax: INTEGER Status: mandatory Max access: read-only Description: CPU busy percentage in the last 5 second period. Not the last 5 realtime seconds but the last 5 second period in the scheduler. versions of IOS later than 12.0(3)T may use similar entries from the CISCO-PROCESS mib, such as Name: cpmCPUTotal5minRev Type: OBJECT-TYPE OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.8 Full path: iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).private(4).enterprises(1).cisco(9).ciscoMgm t(9).ciscoProcessMIB(109).ciscoProcessMIBObjects(1).cpmCPU(1).cpmCPUTotalTab le(1).cpmCPUTotalEntry(1).cpmCPUTotal5minRev(8) Module: CISCO-PROCESS-MIB Parent: cpmCPUTotalEntry Prev sibling: cpmCPUTotal1minRev Numerical syntax: Gauge (32 bit) Base syntax: Gauge Composed syntax: Gauge Status: mandatory Max access: read-only Size list: 1: 0..100 Description: The overall CPU busy percentage in the last 5 minute period. This object deprecates the object cpmCPUTotal5min and increases the value range to (0..100). Most of the lsystem node is actually devoted to buffer counters. Even though I figure that most of the others might be useful for monitoring memory, the authors single out: Name: bufferNoMem Type: OBJECT-TYPE OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.47 Full path: iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).private(4).enterprises(1).cisco(9).local(2) .lsystem(1).bufferNoMem(47) Module: OLD-CISCO-MEMORY-MIB Parent: lsystem Prev sibling: bufferFail Next sibling: busyPer Numerical syntax: Integer (32 bit) Base syntax: INTEGER Composed syntax: INTEGER Status: mandatory Max access: read-only Description: Count of the number of buffer create failures due to no free memory. and Name: bufferFail Type: OBJECT-TYPE OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.46 Full path: iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).private(4).enterprises(1).cisco(9).local(2) .lsystem(1).bufferFail(46) Module: OLD-CISCO-MEMORY-MIB Parent: lsystem Prev sibling: bufferLgCreate Next sibling: bufferNoMem Numerical syntax: Integer (32 bit) Base syntax: INTEGER Composed syntax: INTEGER Status: mandatory Max access: read-only Description: Count of the number of buffer allocation failures. Which should help in pinpointing memory limitations. In general, I found the information to be more accessible offline than on, but that could just be a lack of patience . . . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Tufaro" To: Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 11:01 PM Subject: Cisco CPU [7:36765] > Hey guys..a little off topic but where is the BEST place to find out how to > install and configure Cisco CPU and Memory stats with MRTG.
