Enables CPU monitoring on the switch.
| seconds | Specifies the monitoring interval, in seconds. The default is 5 seconds, and the range is 5 to 60 seconds. |
| threshold | Specifies the CPU threshold value. CPU usage is measured in percentages. The default is 90%, and the range is 0% to 100%. |
CPU monitoring is enabled and occurs every 5 seconds. The default CPU threshold value is 90%.
CPU monitoring allows you to monitor the CPU utilization and history for all of the processes running on the switch. By viewing this history on a regular basis, you can see trends emerging and identify processes with peak utilization. Monitoring the workload of the CPU allows you to troubleshoot and identify suspect processes before they become a problem.
To specify the frequency of CPU monitoring, use the interval keyword. We recommend the default setting for most network environments.
CPU usage is measured in percentages. By default, the CPU threshold value is 90%. When CPU utilization of a process exceeds 90% of the regular operating basis, the switch logs an error message specifying the process name and the current CPU utilization for the process. To modify the CPU threshold level, use the threshold keyword. The range is 0% to 100%.
The following command enables CPU monitoring every 30 seconds:
enable cpu-monitoring interval 30
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 11.2.
The default values shown began in ExtremeXOS 12.1.
This command is available on ExtremeSwitching 5320, 5420, 5520, and 5720 series switches.
