CiscoBufferUtilization

Path: /model/vendors/cisco/cisco_buffer_utilization.mod

Monitors the free element buffers on Cicso routers to determine if their buffer availability is at acceptable levels. If buffer availability is less than five percent for three poll intervals, then NerveCenter sends a 6005 Inform to the platform.

Two additional alarms, CiscoBufferUtilization_LogToDB and CiscoBufferUtilization_LogToFile, are part of this model. When you enable these alarms, they perform a Log To Database or a Log to File alarm action, respectively, on each transition so that reports on buffer utilization can be produced.
