[mrtg] Re: cisco cpu and memory usage

Here are a couple of examples from the config files that I use for gathering CPU and Memory Usage.  The first example is from a router running an older IOS, and the last is from a router running a newer IOS:  (and yes, these comments are also in my config files)


#####################
#
#  Using OLD-CISCO-CPU-MIB to gather CPU statistics
#
#  .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.56.0 <- CPU busy percentage in the last 5 second period
#
#  The MIB says that this is NOT a real 5 seconds, but 5 seconds according to 
#   the internal schedular -- whatever that means.
#
#####################

#####################
#
#  Using OLD-CISCO-MEMORY-MIB to gather Memory usage statistics
#
#  .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.8.0  <--  Free Memory (in bytes)
#
#  The Brooksville router is running an IOS version below 11.1, which means
#   that the newer and better CISCO-MEMORY-POOL-MIB is not supported
#
#####################

# WAN Router: Memory Free

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
and the second example:  I use the same old mib for CPU usage but I use the new Memory Pool mib for Memory usage:

#####################
#
#  Using CISCO MEMORY POOL MIB to gather Free Memory Statistics
#
#  .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.48.1.1.1.6.1
#  .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.48.1.1.1.6.2
#
#  The Cisco routers (as of IOS version 11.1) track memory by the 
#   various pools that are created.  Each pool will have a different
#   amount of memory assigned to it.  Not all routers will use all 5
#   of the different memory pools available.  Here is a list of all the
#   memory pools and their corresponding integer value.  The last
#   number in the OID represents the memory pool.
#
#            1:  processor memory
#            2:  i/o memory
#            3:  pci memory
#            4:  fast memory
#            5:  multibus memory
#
#  This OID tracks FREE memory in bytes.  By adding the value at 48.1.1.1.5.1
#   (the USED memory in bytes) and 48.1.1.1.6.1, the total number of bytes 
#   assigned to the pool can be discovered.  This is how the Maxbytes
#   values were choosen.  It is unknown at this time if the memory assigned
#   to a pool is dynamic between one reboot and the next.

use the ciscoMemoryPoolMIB for memory and the avgBusy5 mib for cpu
