Syntax
threshold cpu-utilization high_thresh [ clear low_thresh ]
high_thresh
Default: 85
Specifies the high threshold CPU utilization percentage that must be met or exceeded within the polling
interval to generate an alert or alarm.
Specifies the high threshold CPU utilization percentage that must be met or exceeded within the polling
interval to generate an alert or alarm.
high_thresh
is an integer from 0 through 100.
clear
low_thresh
Default: 85
Specifies the low threshold CPU utilization percentage that maintains a previously generated alarm condition.
If the utilization percentage falls below the low threshold within the polling interval, a clear alarm will be
generated.
Specifies the low threshold CPU utilization percentage that maintains a previously generated alarm condition.
If the utilization percentage falls below the low threshold within the polling interval, a clear alarm will be
generated.
low_thresh
is an integer from 0 through 100.
Important:
This value is ignored for the Alert model. In addition, if this value is not configured for the Alarm
model, the system assumes it is identical to the high threshold.
Usage
CPU utilization thresholds generate alerts or alarms based on the utilization percentage of each packet
processing card CPU during the specified polling interval. Although, a single threshold is configured for all
CPUs, separate alerts or alarms can be generated for each CPU.
Alerts or alarms are triggered for CPU utilization based on the following rules:
processing card CPU during the specified polling interval. Although, a single threshold is configured for all
CPUs, separate alerts or alarms can be generated for each CPU.
Alerts or alarms are triggered for CPU utilization based on the following rules:
Enter condition: Average measured CPU utilization for the last 5 minutes
Clear condition: Average measured CPU utilization for the last 5 minutes is less than the low
threshold.
If a trigger condition occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm will not be generated until the end
of the polling interval.
