jnxFwddMicroKernelCPUUsage

Module: JUNIPER-CHASSIS-FWDD-MIB

OID (symbolic): JUNIPER-CHASSIS-FWDD-MIB::jnxFwddMicroKernelCPUUsage

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.34.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Gauge32

Access: read-only

Description: The FWDD Micro Kernel CPU utilization in percentage. Zero if unavailable or inapplicable.

What is jnxFwddMicroKernelCPUUsage?

This read-only Gauge32 reports the FWDD (Forwarding Daemon) microkernel CPU utilization as a percentage, reading zero if unavailable or not applicable. An admin monitors this to see how heavily loaded the packet-forwarding microkernel is, which can indicate the router is approaching its forwarding-plane processing limits. A value climbing toward 90 or higher would prompt an admin to investigate what traffic pattern or feature is driving up forwarding-plane CPU load.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.34.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> JUNIPER-CHASSIS-FWDD-MIB::jnxFwddMicroKernelCPUUsage

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.34.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> JUNIPER-CHASSIS-FWDD-MIB::jnxFwddMicroKernelCPUUsage.1

Start monitoring Juniper Networks J-Series router (forwarding daemon process status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the JUNIPER-CHASSIS-FWDD-MIB::jnxFwddMicroKernelCPUUsage OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Juniper Networks J-Series router (forwarding daemon process status) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Juniper Networks J-Series router (forwarding daemon process status) 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 jnxFwddMicroKernelCPUUsage into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The FWDD Micro Kernel CPU utilization in 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.
