cpuIdle

Module: GBNPlatformOAM-MIB

OID (symbolic): GBNPlatformOAM-MIB::cpuIdle

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.13464.1.2.1.1.2.11

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: The percentage of free CPU in the current system.

What is cpuIdle?

This read-only percentage (0-100) reports how much CPU capacity is currently free on the switch. An admin polls this to catch a switch approaching CPU exhaustion before it starts dropping management traffic or delaying protocol convergence.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.13464.1.2.1.1.2.11
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> GBNPlatformOAM-MIB::cpuIdle

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.13464.1.2.1.1.2.11.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> GBNPlatformOAM-MIB::cpuIdle.1

Start monitoring Unidentified device (Greentech/GBN common OAM framework) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the GBNPlatformOAM-MIB::cpuIdle OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Unidentified device (Greentech/GBN common OAM framework) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Greentech (GBN) managed network device 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 cpuIdle into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the percentage of CPU currently idle (free) on the device. 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 an INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if idle CPU drops below 15% (i.e. utilization above 85%), indicating the system is approaching CPU exhaustion. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
