## Cisco Monitor

Cisco Monitor is a device specific infrastructure performance monitor. Data in the dashboard panels  are polled from both

- the Cisco device specific MIB
- standard MIBs

This is a sample template for a Cisco device, it can be re-purposed to work for other Cisco devices.

Top Panel Tables

#### 2nd set of Panels 

The graphs here contain the following infrastructural details polled by the device specific settings.

The  "*Overall CPU Usage"* panel is a graph showing the percentage of overall CPU usage by the device at specific points of time.

The "*CPU Usage by Process" in Time* panel provides a view of the processes vis-a-vis their CPU usage time span in microseconds.

The "*Mem usage by Process"*** **panel provides a view of the memory (in MB) consumed by processes that use the device.

The "*CPU usage by Process by Percentage"* panel provides a view of the processes vis-a-vis their CPU usage percentage at specific points of time.

#### 3rd set of Panels 

The table here contains infrastructural details polled by the device specific settings.

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| Interface Status Table... | Indicates... |
| IfName | the name given to the interface |

| MTU | the maximum transmissional unit (MTU) of the interface |
| ifSpeed(Mbps) | the speed of the interface in Mbps. |

     3rd set of panels

The graph here contains the following infrastructural detail polled by the device specific settings.

The  "*Errors and Discards"* panel is a graph showing the total errors and discards experienced by the interface at specific points of time.

#### 4th set of panels

The graphs here contain infrastructural details polled by the standard settings.

The "*In/Out Traffic Vs In/Out UCastPkts*" graph gives a view of the in/out traffic  vis-a-vis the in/out unicast packets at specific points in time.

The "*In/Out Broadcast Vs In/Out Multicast*" graph gives a view of the in/out broadcast vis-a-vis the in/out multicast packets at specific points in time.

#### 5th set of panels

The graphs here contain infrastructural details polled by the standard settings.

The "*Network I/O*" graph gives a view of the rate of network input/output for each interface at specific points in time.

The "*Network Utilization*" graph gives a view of the percentage of network utilization by each interface at specific points in time.
