Module: AGENT-STATS-MIB2
OID (symbolic): AGENT-STATS-MIB2::pctcputime
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.12.2.2.30.4.13
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: DisplayString
Access: read-only
Description: The percentage of CPU time used by the process
What is pctcputime?
This OID reports a percentage value (typically 0–100) indicating CPU time consumed by the monitored process. Operationally, it allows administrators to track CPU utilization by the SNMP agent itself, identifying periods of high computational load that might impact query response times. A concrete example reading might be 25.5, indicating the process is consuming 25.5% of available CPU cycles.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.12.2.2.30.4.13 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> AGENT-STATS-MIB2::pctcputime
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.12.2.2.30.4.13.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> AGENT-STATS-MIB2::pctcputime.1
SNMPv3 example:
snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> pctcputime.1
