fsSysCpuUsage

Module: FORTINET-FORTISWITCH-MIB

OID (symbolic): FORTINET-FORTISWITCH-MIB::fsSysCpuUsage

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.106.4.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Gauge32

Access: read-only

Description: Current CPU usage (percentage)

What is fsSysCpuUsage?

This gauge reports the FortiSwitch's current CPU utilization as a percentage from 0 to 100. Admins poll it to catch a switch under sustained heavy control-plane load, such as a spanning-tree recalculation storm, before it starts dropping traffic. For example, a reading of 92 sustained across several polls would prompt the admin to investigate what is driving the CPU so hard.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.106.4.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> FORTINET-FORTISWITCH-MIB::fsSysCpuUsage

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.106.4.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> FORTINET-FORTISWITCH-MIB::fsSysCpuUsage.1

Create custom SNMP monitor using the FORTINET-FORTISWITCH-MIB::fsSysCpuUsage OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Fortinet FortiSwitch managed Ethernet switch from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Fortinet FortiSwitch managed Ethernet switch 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 fsSysCpuUsage into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the current CPU usage (percentage). 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 utilization exceeds 85%, a common warning threshold before sustained high load affects performance. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
