cpu-usage threshold

Function

The cpu-usage threshold command sets the alarm threshold and alarm recovery threshold of CPU usage.

The undo cpu-usage threshold command restores the alarm threshold and alarm recovery threshold of CPU usage.

Format

cpu-usage threshold threshold-value [ restore restore-threshold-value ] [ slot slot-id ]

undo cpu-usage threshold [ threshold-value [ restore [ restore-threshold-value ] ] ] [ slot slot-id ]

Parameters

Parameter Description Value
threshold threshold-value Specifies the alarm threshold of CPU usage.

When the CPU usage reaches the threshold, the system will generate an alarm.

NOTE:

If the device does not transmit traffic or a device with default configuration is used, CPU usage is about 10%. If threshold-value is set too small, for example, less than 10%, the device is overloaded and unable to display clear alarms. Setting threshold-value to greater than 70% is recommended.

The value is an integer that ranges from 2% to 100%.
restore restore-threshold-value Specifies the alarm recovery threshold of CPU usage.

When the CPU usage falls below the threshold, the system will generate a clear alarm.

The value is an integer ranging from 1% to 99%. This value must be smaller than threshold-value.
slot slot-id Specifies the ID of the slot. -

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

By default, the alarm threshold of CPU usage is 80%, and alarm recovery threshold is 75%.

  • If the alarm threshold of CPU usage is smaller than 60%, the alarm recovery threshold of CPU usage equals to the alarm threshold of CPU usage minus 1%.
  • If the alarm threshold of CPU usage is greater than 60%, the alarm recovery threshold of CPU usage equals to the alarm threshold of CPU usage minus 5%.

To ensure sufficient CPU resources or enable the device to prompt users with a message indicating insufficient CPU resources, you can run the cpu-usage threshold command to set the alarm threshold and alarm recovery threshold for the CPU usage.

Procedure

When the device is running, you can run the display cpu-usage command to view the threshold for the CPU usage.

Configuration Impact

A log is recorded when CPU usage reaches the configured alarm threshold. When the CPU usage reduces by equal to or smaller than 5% and exceeds the threshold again, no log is recorded. A log is recorded only when the CPU usage reduces by greater than 5% and reaches the threshold again. Log information facilitates tracing the CPU usage.

Example

# Set the threshold of the CPU usage on the main control board to 80%.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] cpu-usage threshold 80

# Set the threshold of the CPU usage on the slot 2 to 80%.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] cpu-usage threshold 80 slot 2

# Set the alarm threshold of CPU usage to 85% and alarm recovery threshold to 80% on the master control board.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] cpu-usage threshold 85 restore 80

# Set the alarm threshold of CPU usage to 85% and alarm recovery threshold to 80% on the slot 2.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] cpu-usage threshold 85 restore 80 slot 2
