Description

This article shows which MIB OIDs to use for monitoring CPU Load Averages in 1, 5, and/or 15 minute timespans.

Solution

Since Junos 11.3 release, a new set of MIBs were introduced to track the Routing Engine's CPU Load Averages for 1, 5, and 15 minute timespans. The relevant MIBs are listed under the jnxOperatingEntry tree: 

jnxOperating1MinLoadAvg.9.1.0.0 (.1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.1.13.1.20.9.1.0.0)
jnxOperating5MinLoadAvg.9.1.0.0 (.1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.1.13.1.21.9.1.0.0)
jnxOperating15MinLoadAvg.9.1.0.0 (.1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.1.13.1.22.9.1.0.0)
Run the following command to see these MIBs in the CLI on a SRX: 
root@srx> show snmp mib walk jnxOperatingEntry | match LoadAvg.9.1.0.0
jnxOperating1MinLoadAvg.9.1.0.0 = 18
jnxOperating5MinLoadAvg.9.1.0.0 = 12
jnxOperating15MinLoadAvg.9.1.0.0 = 8
 The 9.1.0.0 suffix index corresponds to the Routing Engine: 
root@srx> show snmp mib walk jnxOperatingEntry | match OperatingDescr.9.1.0.0
jnxOperatingDescr.9.1.0.0 = Routing Engine
 
If this is a Chassis Cluster/HA environment, then there will be a separate suffix (9.2.0.0) for the Routing Engine in node1: 
jnxOperatingDescr.9.1.0.0 = node0 Routing Engine
jnxOperatingDescr.9.2.0.0 = node1 Routing Engine
The values from these MIBs correspond to the Load averages reported in the "show chassis routing-engine" command in the CLI:

root@Juniper> show chassis routing-engine
