Monitor CPU Utilization

You can set CPU thresholds so that alarms are triggered when CPU utilization reaches the high or low threshold level. CPU utilization is monitored as a running average percentage over predefined intervals of five seconds, one minute, and five minutes. By default, this feature is enabled with a higher threshold value so that alarms do not generate frequently.

When CPU utilization crosses the high threshold, a critical alarm triggers. A warning alarm triggers when CPU utilization crosses the low threshold. The alarms clear when CPU utilization goes below the corresponding threshold. To view the current active alarms in the system, use the show alarms command.

The util-threshold cpu command allows you to configure the high and low threshold values. Before configuring the threshold values, configure a syslog server to collect and store the syslog messages. To view the configured CPU utilization thresholds, use the show util-threshold cpu command.

NOTE: During image installation, upgrade, or reload with default threshold values, CPU utilization might cross the threshold values and therefore trigger alarms. These alarms eventually clear after the installation, upgrade, or reload is completed.
Example of configuring CPU utilization threshold values
OS10# configure terminal
OS10(config)# logging server 10.10.10.11
OS10(config)# util-threshold cpu 1min high 10 low 5
OS10(config)# util-threshold cpu 5min high 80 low 70
OS10(config)# exit
OS10# show util-threshold cpu
