On windows 2000 servers you will have better results using the MIB-II Host MIB. The branch for CPU utilization is:
1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2 You will then need to walk: 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.3 to find out which instance to use. For example, on my XP laptop .4 is the processor. So, I would use 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2.4 to monitor CPU utilization on my machine. One frustrating part about this OID is that when printers or other devices are added or removed instances can change. <SHAMELESS PROMOTION> Denika will do all this work for you. Simply enter an IP and community string and the reports will be created. If the instance changes you can rediscover and the instance will be updated. </SHAMELESS PROMOTION> HTH, -Erik Erik R Peterson Somix Technologies 207-324-8805 www.somix.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of brandon.baker Sent: Thursday, May 20, 2004 12:52 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] SNMP vs Perfmon question Use the snmp-informant-std agent available at www.wtcs.org.

I am having an issue with monitoring CPU percent utilization on W2K servers with multiple processors. I have installed the proper mibs for measuring W2K servers and can collect data for cpuPercentProcessorTime from both CPU's (1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.1.3.1.1.2.1.3.1.48&1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.1.3.1.1.2.1.3.1. 49) but the problem is one reads high (100) all of the time while the other reads low (2-3%). Yet, when I run perfmon on the same server and monitor Processor\% Processor Time I get wildly different values - usually only around 5-10%. I have checked this on 2 different servers.... Does anyone know why and/or if there is a better way to use SNMP to get similar results to perfmon or, hard to believe, is the Microsoft perfmon tool as flaky as everything else? All I want is an accurate SNMP view of my CPU loads! Thanks! Scott Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
