CPU Monitoring

Event Type: PH_DEV_MON_SYS_CPU_UTIL

Description: Event containing CPU utilization metrics

Cisco IOS (SNMP), , Cisco NX-OS, Extreme ExtremeOS, Foundry Ironware, HP ProCurve

Cisco ASA/PIX/FWSM (SNMP), Checkpoint FW-1, Juniper SSG/ISG, Palo Alto Firewall, Sonicwall SonicOS, Fortinet FortiOS Cisco IPS (SNMP), Tippingpoint IPS (SNMP)

NetApp DataONTAP

Microsoft Windows (SNMP, WMI), Linux (SNMP), Solaris (SNMP), HP-UX (SNMP), IBM AIX (SNMP) Key Attributes:

Name	Id	Type	Description
Event Type	eventType	string	Event type set to PH_DEV_MON_SYS_CPU_UTIL
Event Severity	eventSeverity	uint16	Set to 1. In general, a number between 0 (lowest severity) and 10 (highest severity)
Event Severity Category	eventSeverityCat	string	Set to Low. IN general, takes the values Low, Medium and High. Event Severities 0-4 are mapped to Low, 5-8 are mapped to Medium and 9-10 are mapped to High
Event Receive Time	phRecvTime	Date	Time at which AccelOps generated this event
Reporting IP	reptDevIpAddr	Date	IP address of device reporting this event. In this case set to the device reporting the utilization (same as Host name attribute)
Relaying IP	relayDevIpAddr	Date	IP address of device relaying this event from the source to AccelOps. In general it could be a syslog-ng IP address but in this, since AccelOps talks to the device directly, Relaying IP is set to AccelOps IP Address.
Raw Event Log	rawEventMsg	string	Raw event containing all attributes in comma separated “[Attribute] = value” format.
Host name	hostName	string	Host name (as in AccelOps CMDB) of the device whose CPU utilization is being reported
Host IP Address	hostIpAddr	IP	Access IP (as in AccelOps CMDB) of the device whose CPU utilization is being reported
CPU utilization	cpuUtil	double	Overall CPU utilization (between 0-100). The number is an average over all CPUs in a multi-cpu system.
User CPU Utilization	sysCpuUtil	double	User CPU utilization (between 0-100). The number is an average over all CPUs in a multi-cpu system. Av ailable for Linux (via SNMP) only.
System CPU Utilization	userCpuUtil	double	System CPU utilization (between 0-100). The number is an average over all CPUs in a multi-cpu system. Available for Linux (via SNMP) only.
Poll Interval	pollIntv	uint32	Polling interval in seconds
