[mrtg] HPUX MRTG question

[Peter J. Kassies]

Dear Jay,

I saw your notes on monitoring HPUX servers in the MRTG list. They were a
great help on getting information out of the HP mib. But I do have a
question

I read in your email the following:
CPU load - users                1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.1.1.13.0
CPU load - system               1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.1.1.14.0
CPU idle                        1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.1.1.15.0
CPU nice                        1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.1.1.16.0

Now if I do an SNMP walk on these mibvariables I get the output, but am
puzzeled what it means. The output is the following:

enterprises.11.2.3.1.1.13.0 = 8599
enterprises.11.2.3.1.1.14.0 = 3423
enterprises.11.2.3.1.1.15.0 = 7796437
enterprises.11.2.3.1.1.16.0 = 549

If I do it multiple times the output of the mib variables increase.
Hmm, if I do TOP, I see CPU idle 99,7%. How do I recalculate the 7796437 to
some sensible number?????

Any help is appreciated.


Peter
