I have been trying to figure out how to monitor the different components on an enterasys B5G switch and havent had much luck.

Nearly exactly like this request:
https://helpdesk.paessler.com/en/support/solutions/articles/80280-monitoring-enterasys-cpu-via-oids

I followed the advice in that request and here are my results (the results are different with each test):

10/12/2020 3:11:01 PM (2 ms) : Device: 192.168.7.223

Hi there,

according to here the OIDs represent the following:

1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.49.1.1.1.1.2 etsysResourceCpuLoad5sec
1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.49.1.1.1.1.3 etsysResourceCpuLoad1min
1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.49.1.1.1.1.4 etsysResourceCpuLoad5min

Have you tried setting up a SNMP Custom sensor for these OIDs already?

Kind regards,

I have tried in the past and get:

  1. N SNMP_EXCEPTION_NOSUCHINSTANCE223

I am likely doing something wrong... but i cant seem to make it work...

Found an issue with the SNMP credential inheritance - once corrected i was still getting an error with the OIDs you sent over... I tried the OID i used in the walk and got some results, but i dont think they are what i am expecting - the dont seem to match the output from the switch CLI

Hi there,

Please use the following OIDs within the sensor:

"1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.49.1.1.1.1.2.1.1" for CPU Load 5 Seconds
"1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.49.1.1.1.1.3.1.1" for CPU Load 1 Minute
"1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.49.1.1.1.1.4.1.1" for CPU Load 5 Minutes

Make sure to add "10" for "Division" in the SNMP Custom sensor's "Settings" tab. The CPU load is reported from 0-1000, this will give you real percentage.
