ntsystemProcessorQueueLength

Module: WINDOWS-NT-PERFORMANCE

OID (symbolic): WINDOWS-NT-PERFORMANCE::ntsystemProcessorQueueLength

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.1.3.1.1.33.15

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: Processor Queue Length is the instantaneous length of the processor queue in units of threads. This counter is always 0 unless you are also monitoring a thread counter. All processors use a single queue in which threads wait for processor cycles. This length does not include the threads that are currently executing. A sustained processor queue length greater than two generally indicates processor congestion. This is an instantaneous count, not an average over the time interval.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.1.3.1.1.33.15
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> WINDOWS-NT-PERFORMANCE::ntsystemProcessorQueueLength

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.1.3.1.1.33.15.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> WINDOWS-NT-PERFORMANCE::ntsystemProcessorQueueLength.1
