You can add an SNMP monitor to obtain MIB information such as CPU usage rate and traffic volume from monitored devices.

This steps to obtain the CPU usage rate (cpmCPUTotal1minRev) of a monitored Cisco device are explained below:

  1. From the list of monitored devices on the [Inventory] tab, doubleclick the device for which you want to set up a monitor.

  2. Click the button in the bottom left of the window, and then click [SNMP] in the pop up menu.

  1. Enter any monitor name (“Cisco CPU” in the below example).

  2. In the [Period] field, specify the interval (1 in the example below).

  3. In the “Find OID” window, enter the MIB OID or name (“cpmCPU” in the example below) in the OID search field, select the MIB you want to add, and click [OK].

  1. Click [Save] in the upper right-hand corner of the window.

After saving, data collection will begin. If successfully acquired, the data will be displayed on the device details screen.
