ssCpuRawSteal
Module: UCD-SNMP-MIB
OID (symbolic): UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssCpuRawSteal
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.64
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter32
Access: read-only
Description: The number of 'ticks' (typically 1/100s) spent by the hypervisor code to run other VMs even though the CPU in the current VM had something runnable.
This object will not be implemented on hosts where the underlying operating system does not measure this particular CPU metric.
On a multi-processor system, the 'ssCpuRaw*' counters are cumulative over all CPUs, so their sum will typically be N*100 (for N processors).
What is ssCpuRawSteal?
This OID is a running counter of the clock ticks the hypervisor spent running other virtual machines while this VM had work ready to run, summed across all CPUs. An admin on a virtualized host monitors this steal time to determine whether performance problems are caused by contention with other VMs on the same physical host rather than this VM's own workload.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.64 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssCpuRawSteal
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.64.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssCpuRawSteal.1
