Not sure what context based here :

is this port utilisation - you can vide show interface status | in connected

CPU - show process cpu

show interface x/x port utilisation

or get some NMS tools to monitor switch using SNMP

Basically need to find out which nexus switch being fully utilized and which switch is not being fully utilized.

Basically need to check whether a switch is being utilized as expected by normal utilization percentages ,for example normal CPU Utilization is 80 or 90 percent out of 100 that way I want to check whether the switch overall (not only CPU) is being utilized to normal level of utilization or not .

You need NMS for this - get install NMS your choice to monitor the device to get archieve monitoring details.

Is there any other way other then NMS to do the same as I am unable to install NMS on my system ?

[Leo Laohoo]

Has the port been used for the last, say, 90 days or not?

[RashikaBatra]

How to check this ?

[Leo Laohoo]

I use tools like AKIPS to check how many days ports have not been used.  

[RashikaBatra]

Is it a kind of NMS only ?
