Example

Monitor the average CPU usage on the machine proxy1.mycompany.com by polling its SNMP agent for the srSystemCPUUsageAverage object at ten-minute intervals. Use SNMPv2c requests and the community string public.

Classify the service using the following rules:

• If the machine’s average CPU usage exceeds 98% classify the service as Failed
• Else if the machine’s average CPU usage exceeds 90% classify the service as Marginal
• Else the service is Good

To implement this task:

1. Create an OID group named Average CPU Usage and an OID for the srSystemCPUUsageAverage object using the values in Table 1.

   Table 1. OID group configuration 

   OID Field Name	Value
   Group Name	Average_CPU_Usage
   Value	srSystemCPUUsageAverage.0
   Name	Avg_CPU_Usage
   Unit	%

2. Create an SNMP profile element and set the configuration as shown in Table 2.

   Table 2. SNMP profile element example

   Profile element configuration field	Value
   server	proxy1.mycompany.com
   objectgroupname	Average_CPU_Usage
   communitystring	public
   version	2
   Service level classification details
   statement	If (Avg CPU Usage > 98) then status Failed else if (Avg Cpu Usage > 90) then status Marginal else status Good
