CiscoCPUUtilization

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

This behavior model monitors the CPU utilization on Cisco routers. NerveCenter sends a 6001 Inform to the platform only when the utilization reaches a very busy state and remains there for one hour.

Two additional alarms, CiscoCpuUtilization_LogToDB and CiscoCpuUtilization_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 CPU utilization can be produced.
