Configuration of MITKRCPUTest

This test monitors the current CPU utilization of the router. If the device is found to consume CPU resources excessively, then, this test will help administrators troubleshoot the CPU spikes at the earliest.

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• In the HOST text box, specify the IP address of the router for which this test is to be configured.

• In the SSH USERNAME and SSH PASSWORD text boxes, specify the credentials of a user who has the right to execute CLI (command-line interface) commands on the target router and pull out metrics via SSH..

• Confirm the SSH PASSWORD by retyping it here in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• Specify the SSH port of the target router in the SSH PORT text box; The default value is 22.

• In the SSH TIMEOUT text box, specify the duration (in seconds) beyond which the execution of this test should time out in this text box. The default is 10 seconds.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of “none” in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
