processorUtilizationPercentage
Module: COMPAT-MIB
OID (symbolic): COMPAT-MIB::processorUtilizationPercentage
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.255.1.1
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Gauge
Access: read-only
Description: The percentage of time the processor is spending not idle.
What is processorUtilizationPercentage?
This read-only gauge reports the percentage of time the device's processor is busy rather than idle. An administrator monitors this metric to detect a device under heavy CPU load, which could indicate a traffic surge, an attack, or a software problem affecting performance. For example, sustained high processorUtilizationPercentage readings might prompt an operator to investigate whether the device is handling an unusually large number of concurrent VPN tunnels.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.255.1.1 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> COMPAT-MIB::processorUtilizationPercentage
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.255.1.1.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> COMPAT-MIB::processorUtilizationPercentage.1
