Does HP-UX default snmp provide CPU utilization?

[ericfjchen]

Does HP-UX default snmp provide CPU utilization? If yes, how to get the OID of CPU utilization in HP-UX? If no, should we install net-snmp in HP-UX? How to do it?

Thanks

Eric

By default - yes!

If you want to see "live" graphs, have a look at MRTG:

I use it to monitor CPU and Memory of my servers, but you can also do uptime as well...

Here's how I monitor HP-UX with SNMP:

Sun and others - you need to script (as snmp is limited).

To get oids - you need a tool like getif:

http://www.wtcs.org/snmp4tpc/getif.htm

I also had to load some hpux mibs into the getif directory....

Hi,

Check the url below (docID : OV-EN017797) about 'How to measure system sys,idle,nice,user CPU states using SNMP data' :

Hope this information can help you.

I would install HP's version of net-SNMP as a fast way to read and navigate through the MIBs. HP has a precomiled version packaged at:

http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPUXIEXP1111

This is actually a collection of open-source programs ready to install on HP-UX. You can also pick a specific product like net-SNMP.
