Description

This article provides information about the SNMP MIB OIDs related to the output of the 'show chassis forwarding' command.

Solution

The show chassis forwarding command displays forwarding process statistics such as CPU usage, memory utilization, and system uptime. Below is a sample output:

root@SRX> show chassis forwarding 
FWDD status:
  State                                 Online    
  Microkernel CPU utilization         0 percent
  Real-time threads CPU utilization   0 percent
  Heap utilization                   76 percent
  Buffer utilization                 93 percent
  Uptime:                               50 days, 11 hours, 16 minutes, 23 seconds

To monitor this information via SNMP, you can use the following MIB OIDs:

  • jnxFwddProcess
    • jnxFwddMicroKernelCPUUsage – Microkernel CPU utilization
    • jnxFwddRtThreadsCPUUsage – Real-time threads CPU utilization
    • jnxFwddHeapUsage – Heap memory utilization
    • jnxFwddDmaMemUsage – Buffer (DMA memory) utilization
    • jnxFwddUpTime – Uptime of the forwarding process

These OIDs allow you to remotely track the same key metrics shown in the CLI output, enabling effective network monitoring and automation.
