How to monitor CPU usage with SNMP?

Not applicable

I'd like to keep a trace of CPU usage of our PaloAlto P500 using SNMP?

What's the OID for CPU usage as it shows up in the dashboard?

Thanks in advance,

Emmanuel

Take a look at the HostDevices mib : http://www.oidview.com/mibs/0/HOST-RESOURCES-MIB.html

I have 4020 models, and I can view the processor load for three different processors - MP-system, DP-system, and DP-packet.

Best,

Matt

I new to setting up SNMP. How would I use this MIB? What exactly needs to be done?

I have 3 PA-2050s that I need to be monitored on my NPM via SNMP.

Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.

Thank You.

Can you explaint what these three processors are?

Thanks.

The diagram here might help you visualize: http://www.paloaltonetworks.com/technology/platform.html

MP = management plane, DP = data plane

Here's answer to the original question.

The "HOST-RESOURCES-MIB-V1SMI.mib" provides descriptions under the "hrDeviceDescr" display string (.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.3.1, .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.3.2, and .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.3.3).

CPU 0 = MP-System Processors = Processor load over the last 60 seconds.
CPU 1 = DP-System Processors = Data Plane CPU cores not used for packet processing.
CPU 2 = DP-Packet Processors = Data Plane CPU cores used for packet processing

Best Regards,

Jared
