vmwCpuShares
Module: VMWARE-OBSOLETE-MIB
OID (symbolic): VMWARE-OBSOLETE-MIB::vmwCpuShares
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.3.1.2.1.2
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Gauge32
Access: read-only
Description: Share of CPU allocated to vm by vmkernel.
What is vmwCpuShares?
The CPU share allocation the vmkernel gave a specific virtual machine, from the legacy per-VM CPU usage table. The units are vendor-specific ("unknown"), so admins compared it relatively across VMs rather than as an absolute figure.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.3.1.2.1.2 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-OBSOLETE-MIB::vmwCpuShares
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.3.1.2.1.2.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-OBSOLETE-MIB::vmwCpuShares.1
