Manage Cisco Router CPU Load with NNM 6.2

[dr4g0]

Hello everybody,
there's someone that can explain me how to manage a Cisco Router (1600, 2500,2600, 3600, or others)to obtain status report about %Cpu Load and alert when a threshold exceeded over a fixed value.
Thanks
D. Drago

Hi dr4g0, well, is quite easy to do, first we should have snmpCollect running.
Then under Options, select Data Collection & Thresholds: SNMP
Probably you'll have to Add - MIB Object, and then browse for the correct OID to retrieve from the devices (the one that contains CPU suage metrics, under private.enterprises.cisco...let me know if you can´t find it, ok?)
There, you should go to Edit -> Add -> MIB Collections
Select for "Set Collection Mode" the option 'Store, Check Thresholds', and once there you can select different devices, or all of them.
Now, you can select the interval for this collection also if the threshold is a Fixed Value, Statistical (standard deviation), or both.
Also, a Rearm value or condition.

Well, you are almost there, if have any problems or concerns about it, just let me know, ok?
Hope this helps,

Hi vlan52, thank you very much, following your suggest I success fine to manage CPU on cisco router, I have already a cisco.mib file loaded and under private.enterprise.cisco.local.lsystem I use a MIB Object named avgBusy5 that report the percentage of the processor in use over a running five-minute average, so, after make all needed configurations, now it seems it's working.
However, I think that I am using a old version of mib file, do you have any informations about new files available ?

Thank you!
bye
