cermResOwnerMeasurementUnit

Module: CISCO-ERM-MIB

OID (symbolic): CISCO-ERM-MIB::cermResOwnerMeasurementUnit

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.510.1.2.1.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: SnmpAdminString

Access: read-only

Description: This is a textual string containing unit of measurement for the resource owner.

For example, utilization of 'memory' and 'cpu' resource owners can be specified in terms of 'bytes' and 'percentage' respectively. In that case, this object value would be 'bytes' for the 'memory' resource owner and 'percentage' for the 'cpu' resource owner.

What is cermResOwnerMeasurementUnit?

This reports the unit of measurement used for a given resource owner's utilization figures -- Cisco's own example pairs memory with bytes and cpu with percentage. Because different resource owners on the same device can report utilization in fundamentally different units, this field is what a management application must check before it can correctly interpret or display any usage number pulled from the related usage tables. A dashboard would need to know this object reads bytes for the memory row so it can render '512MB used' rather than misreading the raw number as a percentage.

Examples
