Dell PowerConnect 8024F CPU OIDs
Hi,
I've read a post on this site which suggested these OIDs:
.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.1.1.4.3.1.2
.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.1.1.4.3.1.3
.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.1.1.4.4.0 (rollup of all CPU activity)
Unfortunately, these OIDs don't work on our switch.
The first two return nothing in snmpwalk, the last one returns this:
"SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.1.1.4.4.0 = Gauge32: 0"
Our system info is as this: Powerconnect 8024F, 5.0.0.4, VxWorks 6.6
The only OID to return a usable result was this:
.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.1.1.4.9.0
However, it returns a string (rollup of all CPU activity).
Please advise, what are the OIDs for 1min/5min CPU activity?
Thank you very much.

Hello,
I think the last time I used it on the PowerConnect 8000 series it worked but I'm not exactly sure of the oid. I know it is suppose to work with .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.1.1.4.9 for 1 and 5 minutes. Are you at the final version of the firmware for the switch? Also, what tool are you using to get the values?
You might want to try going through 1-9 as well like .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.1.1.4.9.1 then .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.1.1.4.9.2, .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.1.1.4.9.3., .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.1.1.4.9.4. etc. Or, you may also want to try doing a GET NEXT instead with your MIB browser.

Hello Barrett,
Many thanks for the contribution.
1)
.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.1.1.4.9 works and returns a string:
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.1.1.4.9.0 = STRING: " 5 Secs ( ...%) 60 Secs ( ...%) 300 Secs ( ...%) "
What I need is non-string values for 1 min and 5 min CPU, so that I could create a custom graph template in Cacti to graphically monitor these values.
2)
As I mentioned, the system info on my switches is as follows: "Powerconnect 8024F, 5.0.0.4, VxWorks 6.6"
3)
The tool I am using to get SNMP values is the simple "snmpwalk" command in Linux. It returns no values for inputs from
.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.1.1.4.9.1
... to
.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.1.1.4.9.9,
but it returns a string for
.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.1.1.4.9
or (which is the same, I think)
.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.1.1.4.9.0
(the string is in bold above).
Please share any additional thoughts if you like, because it's crucial to be able to monitor such essential things as CPU usage or uptime.
I am already frustrated that Dell switches do not allow monitoring VLAN interface traffic (as mentioned here: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/network-switches/f/866/t/18514417) (unlike Cisco switches), but if the CPU monitoring is also a problem, then, I think, I'll have to advise the management to rebuild the whole core with some other switches.
Thank you very much.
