process cpu threshold
Use this command to configure the CPU utilization thresholds. The Rising and Falling
thresholds are specified as a percentage of CPU resources. The utilization monitoring time
period can be configured from 5 seconds to 86,400 seconds in multiples of 5 seconds. The
CPU utilization threshold configuration is saved across a switch reboot. Configuring the
falling utilization threshold is optional. If the falling CPU utilization parameters are not
configured, they take the same value as the rising CPU utilization parameters.

Parameter Description
rising threshold The percentage of CPU resources that, when exceeded for the configured rising
interval, triggers a notification. The range is 1–100. The default is 0 (disabled).
rising interval The duration of the CPU rising threshold violation, in seconds, that must be met to
trigger a notification. The range is 5–86,400. The default is 0 (disabled).
falling threshold The percentage of CPU resources that, when usage falls below this level for the
configured interval, triggers a notification. The range is 1–100. The default is 0
(disabled). A notification is triggered when the total CPU utilization falls below this
level for a configured period of time. The falling utilization threshold notification is
made only if a rising threshold notification was previously done. The falling utilization
threshold must always be equal or less than the rising threshold value. The CLI does
not allow setting the falling threshold to be greater than the rising threshold.
falling interval The duration of the CPU falling threshold, in seconds, that must be met to trigger a
notification. The range is 5–86,400. The default is 0 (disabled).
