Monitoring CPU usage in all eight cores in a Checkpoint firewall

ollydrew

Hi guys,

when I added my checkpoint firewalls to Orion, I can see the information about CPU disks and interfaces, but the physical boxes (HP servers) have eight CPUs/cores that I'd like to be able to monitor individually. I'm thinking I need to create a universal device poller, so I've done a MIB walk of the firewall, with a view to finding the OID that I need to use. From the results of the MIB walk I can see that there are eight CPUs:

HOST-RESOURCES-MIB 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.3.768 hrDeviceDescr.768 "GenuineIntel: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           X5450 @ 3.00GHz"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.3.769 hrDeviceDescr.769 "GenuineIntel: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           X5450 @ 3.00GHz"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.3.770 hrDeviceDescr.770 "GenuineIntel: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           X5450 @ 3.00GHz"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.3.771 hrDeviceDescr.771 "GenuineIntel: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           X5450 @ 3.00GHz"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.3.772 hrDeviceDescr.772 "GenuineIntel: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           X5450 @ 3.00GHz"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.3.773 hrDeviceDescr.773 "GenuineIntel: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           X5450 @ 3.00GHz"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.3.774 hrDeviceDescr.774 "GenuineIntel: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           X5450 @ 3.00GHz"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.3.775 hrDeviceDescr.775 "GenuineIntel: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           X5450 @ 3.00GHz"

But further down the MIB walk, there are countless more OIDs that seem to relate to CPU as well. I think OIDs above are just ones that tell me "This is an Intel CPU and this is what type it is" but not the ones that will return dynamic CPU usage data.

Has anyone got this configured already, or can shed any light for me?

Thanks

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

I managed to get this working with a UnDP. If you poll the following SNMP Table it will gfive you the % utilization of each core in your SPLAT FW

1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.6.7.5.1.3

What platform of CP are you running? I've got CP on Open Platform (HP) and UTM appliances which show stuff correctly.

But I'm planning an 8core open install shortly so am interested to find out if this is a problem I may face too

Edit: Sorry misread the post the 8core is on HP...

I'm running SecurePlatform (SPLAT) on HP DL380 servers.

Cheers,

I'm planning on doing an install tomorrow so will see if I get anywhere with it and post back.

Great job, Peter. Can you post the UnDP poller in NPM Content exchange?
