Description: The current CPU utilization for this controller.

What is chasControlCPUUtilization?

This object reports the current CPU utilization percentage for a specific controller card. An admin watches this to catch a controller that's becoming a management-plane bottleneck, for example under heavy SNMP polling or a runaway process, before it starts causing slow CLI/SNMP response or failed keepalives. A Primary MPM controller sitting at 95% chasControlCPUUtilization for an extended period could start missing keepalives to the Secondary, risking an unwanted failover.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.800.2.1.3.1.1.16
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CHASSIS-MIB::chasControlCPUUtilization

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.800.2.1.3.1.1.16.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CHASSIS-MIB::chasControlCPUUtilization.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> chasControlCPUUtilization.1
