BASETRAP_1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.25.129.2.4.1 hwCPUUtilizationRisingAlarm

Description

BASETRAP/2/CPUUSAGERISING: OID [oid] CPU utilization exceeded the pre-alarm threshold. (Index=[INTEGER], BaseUsagePhyIndex=[INTEGER], UsageType=[INTEGER], UsageIndex=[INTEGER], Severity=[INTEGER], ProbableCause=[INTEGER], EventType=[INTEGER], PhysicalName="[OCTET]", RelativeResource="[OCTET]", UsageValue=[INTEGER], UsageUnit=[INTEGER], UsageThreshold=[INTEGER])

The CPU usage exceeds the threshold.

Attribute

Alarm ID Alarm Severity Alarm Type
1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.25.129.2.4.1 Major processingErrorAlarm(4)

Parameters

Name Meaning
oid Indicates the MIB object ID of the alarm.
Index Indicates the index of the entity.
BaseUsagePhyIndex Indicates the index of the physical entity.
UsageType Indicates the type of the alarm on usage.
UsageIndex Indicates the index of the sub-entity of the alarm entity. In the alarm on CPU usage, the fixed value of this parameter is 0.
Severity Indicates the severity level of the alarm.
ProbableCause Indicates the possible cause of the alarm. The code of the possible cause is as follows:

154: IANAITUPROBABLECAUSE_OUTOFCPUCYCLES indicates that the CPU usage exceeds the threshold.

EventType Indicates the alarm type. Alarms are classified into the following types:
  • communicationsAlarm (2): alarm for communication problems
  • qualityOfServiceAlarm (3): alarm for service quality
  • processingErrorAlarm (4): alarm for processing errors
  • equipmentAlarm (5): alarm for the equipment
  • environmentalAlarm (6): alarm for the environment

This alarm is of the processingErrorAlarm type, that is, the alarm for processing errors.

PhysicalName Indicates the name of the entity.
RelativeResource Indicates the resources that are associated with the alarm. The current value on the device is empty.
UsageValue Indicates the current CPU usage of the device.
UsageUnit Indicates the unit of the CPU usage. The unit is percent.
UsageThreshold Indicates the alarm threshold of the CPU usage.

Impact on the System

High CPU usage in a very short period does not affect services; however, long-term high CPU usage may delay service processing.

Possible Causes

Cause 1:

The alarm threshold of the CPU usage is low.

Cause 2:

The switch provides too many services.

Cause 3:

The switch is attacked, causing high CPU usage.

Procedure

  • Rectify the fault according to CPU Usage Is High in the Troubleshooting Insights-Campus Switch-Device Management And Maintenance.
