ACE: How do I use the SNMP probe to check the servers CPU utilization

[Richard Bradfield]

recently we had a problem on one of our servers where CPU utilisation went very high, this caused connection problems,I beleive we can use an SNMP probe from the ACE 4710 to check CPU utilisation on the server.

I am having difficulty finding documentation on how to set this up, can anybody help?

Hi ,

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/data_center_app_services/ace_appliances/vA3_1_0/configuration/admin/guide/snmp.html

The link helps you with the default snmp config. You need to get the SNMP OID for your server CPU, create a community. Create a SNMP probe with the oid and the other parameters

If you are trying to do laod balanceing , then you need to use least loaded algorithm with SNMP Porbe that you created earlier.

Hope this helps.
