NimbostratusTMM Utilization graph
Hi,
What stats are used to generate the TMM Utilization graph (under the Performance section of the Web Interface)? Specifically, how are figures for each TMM process calculated?
I had thought it would be based on the following SNMP OIDs (by walking the sysTMMStatTable).
sysTMMStatTmTotalCycles
sysTMMStatTmIdleCycles
sysTMMStatTmSleepCycles
The nearest I can get is to use the following equation :-
( (totalCycles - (idleCycles + sleepCycles) ) / totalCycles) * 100 * 5
although where the multiplication by 5 comes from I can't explain.
The reason for this is I want to monitor this via SNMP GET (for use in nagios). We have a number of virtual services that are CMP bound (ie. stick on one tmm process) - so any single tmm process running into high utilization can cause a problem (and the average could still be quite low).
Any ideas/suggestions?
Cheers,
Rob

The answer is going to vary, depending on which version of LTM you're using. The latest versions have better information, but v10 has a different OID than 9.4 IIRC. (Or it might have been 9.4 that introduced the multi-cpu OID's).
Anyway. Multi-cpu stats are available under
.1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.7.5.2.1.1.1
the SNMP mib is available on your F5 itself, so I won't include it here.

Steven_John_711Hi,
I wish you hadn't stopped there to be honest. We've just gone from 6800s 9.4.5 to 6900s 9.4.8 and now want to monitor individual TMM utilisation like we used to do on the 6800 with this Truncate( 100-({sysStatTmIdleCycles}/{sysStatTmTotalCycles}*100), 0). It'd be great if you could point me at the same oids for this multi processor platform if you can please?- JRahm

my $tmmTotalCycles = '.1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.1.2.1.41.0';
my $tmmIdleCycles = '.1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.1.2.1.42.0';
my $tmmSleepCycles = '.1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.1.2.1.43.0'; 
tony_100112I generate the TMM Utilization graph with the equation of ( (totalCycles - (idleCycles + sleepCycles) ) / totalCycles) * 100 * 5 via ZABBIX
But sometimes the value was negative number or greatly exceeded the true value
What can I do for this situation？- HamishHow are you getting the stats? If via iControl, how are you converting the hi/lo 32 bit representations to 64 bits? (Some compilations of perl require different maths to doit due to the sign extension of unsigned numbers).
- HamishActually, that should be 'How does ZABBIX read the data'? (Sorry, never used it).
