Measures reported by F10CPUTest

F10CPUTest test auto-discovers the stack units of the Dell Force 10 switch, and reports the type of the CPU in each stack unit and monitors the current CPU utilization of each stack unit. If the stack unit is found to consume CPU resources excessively, then, this test will help administrators to determine when exactly did the CPU utilization peak - during the last 5 seconds? or 1 minute? or 5 minutes? This revelation helps administrators troubleshoot the CPU spikes better.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
cpuType Indicates the type of the CPU used in this stack unit.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Control Processor 1
RoutingProcessor1 2
RoutingProcessor2 3
LinecardProcessor 4
RPM Processor 5

Note:



By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the CPU type utilized in each stack unit. The graph of this measure however, represents the status of a server using the numeric quivalents only - 1 to 5.
cpuUtil5Sec Indicates the percentage of CPU utilization of this stack unit during last 5 seconds. Percent By comparing the values of these measures, you can quickly figure out when exactly was the CPU usage maximum. Using this analysis, administrators can further investigate the real reason behind the sudden spike in the CPU usage.
cpuUtil1Min Indicates the percentage of CPU utilization of this stack unit during last 1 minute. Percent By comparing the values of these measures, you can quickly figure out when exactly was the CPU usage maximum. Using this analysis, administrators can further investigate the real reason behind the sudden spike in the CPU usage.
cpuUtil5Min Indicates the percentage of CPU utilization of this stack unit during last 5 minute. Percent By comparing the values of these measures, you can quickly figure out when exactly was the CPU usage maximum. Using this analysis, administrators can further investigate the real reason behind the sudden spike in the CPU usage.
