Monitoring Control Processor CPU Utilization
Monitoring Control Processor CPU Utilization
You can monitor the CPU utilization of the control processor by displaying the actual load on the control
processor. This feature provides visibility into the performance envelop of the Control processor under
different management schemes.
Information regarding CPU utilization is available using any of the following methods:
•
SNMP—The Cisco Process MIB shows the CPU utilization of both the control processor and the
traffic processors. An SNMP walk on the cpmCPUTotalTable provides information regarding
overall CPU statistics.
•
CLI commands—The following admin level CLI commands can be used to monitor CPU utilization:
–
show processes cpu
–
show processes cpu sorted
–
show snmp MIB cisco-process
•
Cisco SCE support file—The entire measured CPU utilization of the control processor, as well as a
number of specific internal tasks that were marked important to track, is written to the Cisco SCE
log files , which are part of the Cisco SCE support file. This data can be used to monitor the CPU
utilization trend of the control processor and the specific internal tasks over time or to view the CPU
utilization required for a specific event.
CLI Commands for Monitoring Control Processor CPU Utilization
Use this command to display the CPU utilization of the control processor.
From the SCE> prompt, type:
Tip
To display the CPU history sorted by percentage of utilization, use the
sorted
keyword.
