We are deploying Cisco Nexus 7000 series switches in a new location.  I added a test pair to the 9.5 beta and it doesn't look like the CPU is supported.  It will not show up on a view by default.  Is anyone else using Nexus or if not can someone from Cisco know when this will be supported?

Thanks.

This is still an open item we are working on for native OOTB support.  I will ping you offline and we can work together on the UnDP's and then maybe post them up

All right, so to recap, currently only fetching CPU and Memory is available through UdP.  The two MIBs that work (tests with Cisco NXOS 4.2(1) with NPM 9.5 SP4 with MIB db from May 2009) are those:

MIB: CISCO-SYSTEM-EXT-MIB
OID: cseSysMemoryUtilization
Loc: .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.305.1.1.2
Range: 0..100 (%)
Desc: The average utilization of memory on the active supervisor.

MIB: CISCO-PROCESS-MIB
OID: cpmCPUTotal5minRev
Loc: .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.8
Range: 0..100 (%)
Desc: The overall CPU busy percentage in the last 5 minute period. 

Here is a link to the UdP I created. Nexus CPU Mem.UnDP

Here's what I configured in my lab for the NPM web page.

I'm in my lab now: still don't work.  Here's the setup: Nexus 7010 NXOS 4.2.1 with NPM 9.5 SP4 and MIB Database from May 2009...

Still can't fetch CPU with standard MIB.

As I posted on Thu, May 21 2009 10:22 AM, Cisco said that we should use the CISCO-PROCESS-MID for CPU.

 

CISCO-PROCESS-MIB cpmCPUTotal5sec.1 
CISCO-PROCESS-MIB cpmCPUTotal1min.1 
CISCO-PROCESS-MIB cpmCPUTotal5min.1 
CISCO-PROCESS-MIB cpmCPUTotal5secRev.1 
CISCO-PROCESS-MIB cpmCPUTotal1minRev.1 
CISCO-PROCESS-MIB cpmCPUTotal5minRev.1 
CISCO-PROCESS-MIB cpmCPUMonInterval.1

 

I did a walk of 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109 and the only CPU result is this one:

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.8

 

CISCO-PROCESS-MIB cpmCPUTotal5minRev.1

1

Still try to look if it makes sense and if CPU on the box shows on the MIB....
I will let it run until Friday and look at the data then.

 

I'll keep you posted.

I'm back in the lab this morning.  The CPU graph looks good.  I'm now looking to get the Memory MIB Working.  From the WALK I ran this morning, looks like cpmCPUMemoryUsed.1 and cpmCPUMemoryFree.1 would be working.

Here's an interesting Post: http://www.mail-archive.com/cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net/msg23742.html

Seems that cseSysMemoryUtilization would be the Mem Util of the active sup.

How were you able to put the two Custom Poller gauges in the same Dashboard box as the Avg Resp Time and Packet Loss gauges?

Did you download and import the UnDP from the post above and then enable it, associate it to your Nexus devices?

Yes I have but the Radial Gauges are seperate groupings. On my Node Details page, I have a box with a Avg Resp Time and Packet Loss gauge, a seperate box with the CPUTotal5min gauge, and another box with the MemoryUtilization gauge. The picture in this post contains a box named Dashboard and it has all 4 of these gauges together. Just wondering how this was accomplished.

I am guessing the user did a custom HTML resource and put them all in there

Well if you look at and speak with Cisco the future of monitoring is XML not SNMP. Hence why DCNM by cisco is a programable API for XML. The industry is moving toward this in the near future and away from SNMP. If you have an ACE did anyone notice how if you compare the ANM software to solarwinds snmp you can not get the same results?? Cisco is not stopping what it has for snmp support but it will not expand or fix it anytime soon. If you do not believe ask your cisco reps, take a class they even push this fact in the ACE and Nexus classes. They want you to buy the $6K license per nexus 7K for DCNM, and they know vendors like solarwinds and others are behind the 8 ball in getting this up to speed. I mean who is going to buy $750K for 2 nexus switches not buy the two $6k license to get out of the box monitoring??

"In addition, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) MIBs, Extensible Markup Language (XML), and the Cisco CLI are made available to customers for switch management through third-party or custom developed tools."

don't lose any sleep just yet.
