dcpOchGeneralUtilization

Module: DCP-OCH-MIB

OID (symbolic): DCP-OCH-MIB::dcpOchGeneralUtilization

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.30826.2.2.4.1.1.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Access: read-only

Description: The number of channels used in the system in units of %.

What is dcpOchGeneralUtilization?

This value is the percentage of the optical channel plan currently in use, expressed as a Gauge32 between 0 and 100. An admin watches it for capacity planning, since it flags when a site is approaching the limits of its channel plan and needs an expansion project. For example, a utilization reading climbing past 90 would prompt the admin to schedule additional amplifier or channel-plan capacity.

Create custom SNMP monitor using the DCP-OCH-MIB::dcpOchGeneralUtilization OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Smartoptics DCP optical transport platform (optical channel layer) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Smartoptics DCP optical transport platform (optical channel layer) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type dcpOchGeneralUtilization into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. The number of channels used in the system in units of %. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Gauge32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
