RE: monitoring tool for switch cpu utiliz

Hi,

You can use RMON, CPU threshold Notification or EEM to monitor CPU and
create syslogs, SNMP traps and even more.

Here is an example to monitor cpu with RMON.
Lsystem.58.0 monitors your CPU's last 5min util. Alarm is triggered when %80
util is exceeded and event-1 creates a syslog. Also a syslog is created when
util is below %20 by event-2.

rmon event 1 log description "CPU over 80"
rmon event 2 log description "CPU below 20"
rmon alarm 1 lsystem.58.0 60 absolute rising-threshold 80 1
falling-threshold 20 2

You can also use EEM (Embedded event manager) to create more sophisticated
actions when the threshold is exceeded. Like shutting down interfaces,
disabling some features...

I wanted to see if anyone has a good recommendation for monitoring switch
cpu - we had couple of instances where cpu spiked over 85-90% and I would
like to see if anyone can make a good recommendation for ensuring that we
are alerted of this event proactively. please advise. thanks.
