Title: CPU Monitoring

Hi Kevin,   Are you using WhatsUp Gold or Professional?    Here is a paper that explains how to setup SNMP monitoring in detail with WhatsUp Gold: http://www.somix.com/files/wug8-denika4-snmp-m01.pdf   Have fun,   Michael Patterson (207)324-8805 x222 [EMAIL PROTECTED]       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Krygeris Sent: Monday, December 06, 2004 4:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] CPU Monitoring   I think what Kevin needs is the info on how to setup the SNMP service. Kevin,  Here is a link that will explain everything.   http://www.ipswitch.com/Support/WhatsUp/guide/v800/6servicesa3.html#18237     Regards, Mike Krygeris Somix Technologies, INC [EMAIL PROTECTED] 207-324-8805   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Fradley Sent: Monday, December 06, 2004 4:09 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] CPU Monitoring   When the server goes over 50% how do you get alerted?  And do you know what the CPU was for it?   Kevin Fradley Help Desk Specialist II GCI SchoolAccess 868-5697 Direct 1-888-254-2858 Toll Free   From: Matt Vavra [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 06, 2004 11:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] CPU Monitoring   Here is what worked for us. Go into Configure->Monitors and Services. You will see a list of services. Select New, give it a name and select SNMP Monitoring for the service type. The object id will be your OID number. Under Check it for: we used a range of values. In our case we set the low for 0 and the high for 50. Leave the test for option set to 1. Now when you setup you object, go into services and add your newly created service. We setup our trigger to 5 minutes under the alerts so if our server has been > 50% utilization for more than 5 minutes, we get alerted. We only scan once a minute for this.   For anyone that is interested, the OIDs we use for CPU 1 through 4 are listed below. This worked on Dell W2K3 blade servers. Should work the same for your router but you will need to use a different OID.   1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2.1 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2.2 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2.3 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2.4   Hope this helps, Matt From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Fradley Sent: Monday, December 06, 2004 1:54 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] CPU Monitoring Now how do I get alerted if the threshold I setup gets passed (over 60%)?  In WUP all I see if that the node goes in a down state, that is not what I want, any ideas?  Thanks.   Kevin Fradley Help Desk Specialist II GCI SchoolAccess 868-5697 Direct 1-888-254-2858 Toll Free   From: Michael Krygeris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 06, 2004 10:48 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] CPU Monitoring   Sure you can, It's pretty easy to setup an SNMP monitor in WUG. You just need to find the right OID. The standard OID used for cisco gear is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.57.0     Try this out as an SNMP service applied to your router. You can define triggers to do what you want it to do. You can't get all the values for the threshold period unless you setup more intensive CPU monitoring through WUG.     Regards, Mike Krygeris Somix Technologies, INC [EMAIL PROTECTED] 207-324-8805   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Fradley Sent: Monday, December 06, 2004 1:02 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] CPU Monitoring   Well we have WUP/WUG cant it do it with those programs?    Kevin Fradley Help Desk Specialist II GCI SchoolAccess 868-5697 Direct 1-888-254-2858 Toll Free   From: Mike Patterson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 06, 2004 8:58 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] CPU Monitoring   Hi Kevin,   WUP/WUG will check it every polling interval (default = 60 seconds).  If you want to do something like 3 out of 4 polls over a 20 minute interval, you can do it with Denika for WhatsUp: http://www.somix.com/products/denika_whatsup_integration.php   It also provides graphical trends of the data over time.   Have fun,   Michael Patterson (207)324-8805 x222 [EMAIL PROTECTED]       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Fradley Sent: Monday, December 06, 2004 11:38 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] CPU Monitoring   In WUP or WUG, what is the best way to monitor CPU via SNMP?  I want to get alerted when Cisco Router goes over 60% for a certain period of time and have that value displayed if I could, any ideas?  Thanks.
