Viewing Server Utilization
Procedure
Step 1 |
Log into Cisco IMC interface. |

Step 3 |
In the Chassis menu, click Summary. The Summary node provides information on Server Properties, Chassis status, Cisco IMC Information, and Server Utilization. Real-time monitoring of CPU, memory, and I/O utilization in the system is provided interms of Compute Usage Per Second (CUPS) . It is independent of the OS and does not consume CPU resources. Cisco servers monitors below sensors: Platform CUPS Sensor - Provides the Computation, Memory, and I/O resource utilization value in the form of a platform CUPS Index. Core CUPS Sensor - Provides the computation utilization value. Memory CUPS Sensor - Provides the memory utilization value. IO CUPS Sensor - Provides the I/O resource utilization value.
These utilization values are obtained by querying the data from a set of dedicated, sideband telemetry counters provided by the platform ingredients (CPU and chipset). These counters are called Resource Monitoring Counters (RMCs). RMCs provide the real-time information pertaining to the three main domains of platform resources – CPU, memory, and I/O. The utilization information for each of these domains is obtained by aggregating the individual counters at a resource instance level. |
