Cisco NX-OS EEM for CPU Threshold SNMP trap

[Netmart]

Hello,

I would like to monitor the CPU load of NX-OS node and send an SNMP trap in case of CPU Threshold Rising and Falling

In order to trigger an event I assume we have to the syslog message/ID generated in case CPU Threshold Rising or Failing.

And then adding a desired action, such as send an SNMP Trap.

I began to write an EEM script, but got stuck. I would appreciate, if someone could please advise on:

syslog message/IDs for CPU threshold rising/falling

What snmp-trap ID has to be sent under action.

Thanks a lot.

event manager applet RisingCPU

event syslog pattern "SYS-1-CPURISINGTHRESHOLD" 

action 1.1 snmp-trap xxxxxx "CPU RISING Threshold"

 intdata1  Enter integer data 1 to be included in the payload

  intdata2  Enter integer data 2 to be included in the payload

  strdata   Enter the string data to be included in the payload

event manager applet FallingCPU

event syslog pattern "SYS-1-CPUFALLINGTHRESHOLD" 

action 1.1 snmp-trap xxxxxx "CPU FALLING Threshold"

 intdata1  Enter integer data 1 to be included in the payload

  intdata2  Enter integer data 2 to be included in the payload

  strdata   Enter the string data to be included in the payload

Hi @Netmart 

I suppose you can simply use "strdata" to write your message in the SNMP trap as "CPU RAISING/FALLING" or whatever is more informative for you. 

In the end, you can update 2 integer and one string data objects, basically these OIDs:

Reference: https://snmp.cloudapps.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseOID.do?local=en&translate=Translate&objectInput=1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.134.1.2.3.1

So it's up to you and the NMS you use to know which one works better for you.

Take care,

Sergiu

Thank you Sergiu.

So it would look like the EM applets suggested below?
And if so, we still have to enable the traps - which would be the appropriate one?

event manager applet RisingCPUthreshold
event syslog pattern "SYS-1-CPURISINGTHRESHOLD"
action 1.1 snmp-trap intdata1 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.134.1.2.3.1.2
action 1.2 snmp-trap strdata "CPU Rising Threshold"

event manager applet FallingCPUthreshold
event syslog pattern "SYS-1-CPUFALLINGTHRESHOLD"
action 1.1 snmp-trap intdata2 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.134.1.2.3.1.3
action 1.2 snmp-trap strdata "CPU Falling Threshold"
