vmwCpuUtil

Module: VMWARE-OBSOLETE-MIB

OID (symbolic): VMWARE-OBSOLETE-MIB::vmwCpuUtil

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.3.1.2.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Gauge32

Access: read-only

Description: Time the virtual machine has been running on the CPU (seconds).

What is vmwCpuUtil?

The cumulative number of seconds a virtual machine has actually run on the host's CPU, from the legacy per-VM CPU table. Comparing this across polling intervals gave a rough measure of how much CPU time a specific VM was consuming.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.3.1.2.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-OBSOLETE-MIB::vmwCpuUtil

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.3.1.2.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-OBSOLETE-MIB::vmwCpuUtil.1

Create custom SNMP monitor using the VMWARE-OBSOLETE-MIB::vmwCpuUtil OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any legacy VMware ESX hosts (deprecated per-VM CPU/memory OID compatibility mapping, no longer authoritative) from a single console.
